480 Colborne Street

This 1911 brick duplex has two legal units and a massive rear workshop — roughly 31 by 42 feet — that sits on its own footprint behind the main house. That workshop alone sets this property apart from anything else in this price range in Brantford. It is being sold as-is and needs work, but the scale and versatility are hard to find. Inside the main house, the original craftsmanship holds up well. The oak staircase, turned columns, and period millwork are intact and in good shape. The upper unit has a preserved original bathroom with hex tile floors, subway tile walls, and a pedestal sink that most buyers would pay to put back. Both kitchens are dated and functional — they will need replacing. Buyers here are likely looking at an income property, a live-in investment, or a project with long-term upside. The two units can generate rental income while you work through the property over time.
