Inside the home
This raised bungalow sits on just over an acre in Echo Place, backing onto a wooded greenspace and a stream that feeds the Grand River. The lot alone sets it apart from most Brantford properties in this price range. The home was fully rebuilt around 2016 — the main floor is open-concept with vaulted ceilings, an updated kitchen with stainless appliances and an island, and covered porches front and rear. The raised foundation gives the basement genuine living space: 8.5-foot ceilings, two bedrooms, a finished rec room, and a gym room. Spray foam and sound insulation were part of the rebuild. The detached 23x23 garage needs cosmetic work — the exterior is weathered and the door is aged. The laundry and utility area in the basement is unfinished. Those are the honest trade-offs on an otherwise well-executed renovation on a rare large urban lot.
