This Holmedale bungalow has two distinct personalities. The main floor mixes recent updates — dark hardwood in the primary suite, a renovated walk-in shower, updated laminate throughout the living and dining areas — with a kitchen that hasn't changed much since the 1990s. The galley kitchen has character (farmhouse sink, glass-front cabinets, beadboard details) but white appliances and butcher block counters will be a project for the next owner.
The finished basement is the real story. With a separate entrance, two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a kitchen, and a rec room anchored by a painted stone fireplace, it functions as a complete secondary suite. The floor plan shows over 300 sq ft in the rec room alone.
Out back, a detached 270 sq ft structure gives you a dedicated office, studio, or workshop — a genuinely useful extra that most bungalows in this price range don't have.

Welcome to 45 Palmerston Avenue — a beautifully laid out bungalow offering versatility, warmth, and opportunity in one of Brantford’s established neighbourhoods. The main floor features three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, providing comfort and functionality for families or downsizers alike. A cozy gas fireplace anchors the living space, creating the perfect spot to unwind, while sliding doors lead to a private deck — ideal for morning coffee, summer barbecues, or quiet evenings under the stars. Downstairs, a fully finished lower level with a separate entrance opens the door to incredible flexibility. Complete with two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, kitchen, and living area, this space is perfectly suited for multigenerational living, extended family, or a potential accessory apartment setup. Step outside and you’ll find a generous backyard designed for gathering and enjoying. Whether hosting friends, watching kids play, or simply relaxing, the space invites connection. An additional detached structure currently used as an art studio adds even more potential — imagine a home gym, workshop, creative studio, private retreat, or work-from-home sanctuary. Location is where this home truly shines. With Brantford Transit nearby and convenient access toward Brantford General Hospital, downtown amenities, and major routes, this property supports a walkable, transit-friendly lifestyle. You’re just minutes from Wilfrid Laurier University’s Brantford campus, Conestoga College, parks, restaurants, cafés, and everyday essentials — making it especially appealing for students, healthcare professionals, or anyone seeking a central location without sacrificing space. This is more than a bungalow — it’s a home filled with opportunity, warmth, and room to grow.
