About this home

Inside the home

This 1963 brick bungalow in Brantford's North End has been steadily updated over the past few years without a full gut renovation. The main level got new LVP flooring and fresh paint throughout, and the kitchen cabinets were repainted and fitted with new counters and backsplash in 2025 — a cosmetic refresh rather than a full replacement, and white appliances remain. The backyard is where this property earns its price point. A large in-ground pool, expansive wood deck with two pergola structures, and generous green space make it one of the more complete outdoor setups in this price range. The pool liner (2011) and pump (2008) are aging and should be factored into your budget. The finished basement adds meaningful square footage with a family room, three flex rooms, and a bathroom — though the laundry area still has a drop ceiling and the basement bedrooms should be evaluated for egress compliance before assuming full bedroom use.

  • Large in-ground pool with saltwater system and substantial deck with pergola
  • Finished basement with multiple flex rooms
  • Front yard professionally landscaped with low-maintenance perennials
  • New LVP flooring throughout main and basement levels
  • Bright living room with plantation shutters and crown moulding
  • Generous lot with mature trees and fenced rear yard
From the listing

Welcome to Kensington Gardens, a mature, tree-lined neighbourhood in north Brantford. The front garden was professionally landscaped in 2022 with low-maintenance perennials, while the new concrete landing and stairs, completed in July 2026, create a fresh and welcoming entrance. Inside, wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring flows throughout the main level, complemented by fresh neutral paint and California shutters in the bright living room and bedrooms. The updated kitchen features refinished cabinetry, granite countertops and backsplash, all completed in 2025, plus plenty of storage and a mobile island with seating. Two bedrooms and a separate den/office provide flexibility, with the den opening through double garden doors to the expansive back deck. The fully fenced backyard is centred around a large in-ground pool with plenty of greenspace for kids, pets and guests. A permanent cabana provides a comfortable place to relax, while a saltwater system and Rheem heater were added in 2023. The Hayward pump was installed in 2008, the liner replaced in 2011, and the Hayward robotic cleaner with caddy is approximately seven years old. The pool is professionally closed annually by Hooton Pools. The oversized garage provides convenient side entry to the finished basement, featuring a spacious family room with storage cabinetry, bathroom, laundry area and three additional finished rooms offering flexibility for guests, hobbies, a home office, gym or additional living space. Basement flooring was updated throughout in 2024. Located close to shopping, restaurants, hospitals, schools and the Rail Trail, with convenient access to a main artery and quick routes to Paris, St. George, Cambridge and Hamilton. With thoughtful updates, a flexible layout and a backyard built for outdoor enjoyment, this home offers plenty of space to settle in and make it your own.
