About this home

Inside the home

This is a 1920s brick two-storey with original hardwood floors, intact wood trim, and a staircase that still has its character. The bones are solid. The finishes are not — the kitchen is a mix of eras, the bathrooms are functional but low-budget, and the attic loft needs real work before it's comfortable. The location is the other part of the story. A short walk to Wilfrid Laurier's Brantford campus and close to the hospital and Hwy 403 makes this attractive to investors and buyers who want proximity to both employment and transit. Buyers should go in with realistic expectations. This property needs updating throughout and is priced accordingly for the area. It rewards someone willing to put in the work.

  • Solid red brick exterior with good structural bones
  • Original hardwood floors present throughout main and upper levels
  • Original wood staircase and trim details intact
  • Walking distance to Wilfrid Laurier Brantford campus
  • Close to Brantford General Hospital and Hwy 403
  • Attic loft adds flexible bonus space
