About this home

Inside the home

This is a downtown Brantford two-storey on a lot that is noticeably larger than most on the street. The big mechanical items have been addressed recently — roof 2022, furnace 2022, AC and windows 2025 — so a buyer inherits a solid envelope without those immediate costs. Inside, the finishes are original throughout. The 1990s kitchen and single bathroom will need updating to match current expectations. Hardwood floors are intact on the upper level. The main floor layout is flexible: the floor plan shows a living room and family room that have been used interchangeably, and the living room has served as a fourth bedroom in the past. The backyard is the other noteworthy feature — flat, fenced, and deep enough to add a structure or simply give tenants outdoor space. Currently tenanted, this one is squarely aimed at investors and those buying with a renovation plan in mind.

  • New roof (2022), furnace (2022), AC and windows (2025)
  • Hardwood floors on upper level
  • Oversized lot for downtown location
  • Deep fenced backyard with development potential
  • Walking distance to Wilfrid Laurier University Brantford campus
  • Side entrance adds flexibility
  • Flexible main floor layout — living room previously used as fourth bedroom

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.
