About this home

Inside the home

This 1880s bungaloft on a corner lot has been refreshed inside — new laminate floors run through the main level, the kitchen has white shaker cabinets and subway tile, and 10-foot ceilings give the principal rooms more breathing room than you typically find at this price point. The loft above adds a fourth flexible space with sloped ceilings and its own windows. An enclosed sunroom off the rear connects the house to the backyard patio. Three main-floor bedrooms are compact, and none have built-in closets. The basement is partial and unfinished. No central air is evident. The backyard is tight and overgrown, though the corner lot gives the front good separation from neighbours. Worth seeing in person to assess the loft clearance and yard layout.

  • Updated kitchen with white shaker cabinets and subway tile
  • New laminate flooring throughout main level
  • High 10-ft ceilings on main floor
  • Loft bonus room adds flexible fourth space
  • Corner lot with attached garage and private driveway
  • Enclosed sunroom extends usable living area

Harmony Square, Brant Avenue, the VIA station and the older wards make this Brantford's most urban pocket. Walkability is real here, but so is the variation from block to block.
