Inside the home
This is a downtown duplex with two very different halves. The lower unit was recently renovated — new laminate floors, updated bathroom with grey vanity, fresh paint throughout, and new mechanicals including furnace and hot water tank. It's vacant and ready to rent or occupy. The upper unit is a different story. It's currently tenanted and shows significant wear: a black-painted bedroom, dated kitchen, a bathroom that needs a full gut, and a front porch that is in serious structural disrepair. The rear brick wall also shows a diagonal crack pattern that warrants a structural engineer's review before purchase. For investors, the bones are there — solid brick, two self-contained units, separate entrances, and a new rear deck. But budget for a full upper unit renovation and exterior work. The listing also notes the option to purchase alongside neighbouring 55 Chatham for a two-duplex package.

Excellent investment opportunity in downtown Brantford! This well-maintained duplex offers approximately 1,650 sq ft of living space, featuring one spacious 2-bedroom unit and one 1-bedroom unit. The recently updated lower unit is currently vacant, providing a fantastic opportunity for an owner-occupier or the ability to set your own market rent and choose your own tenant. Ideally located close to all amenities including shopping, restaurants, transit, and the casino. A great option for investors or first-time buyers looking to live in one unit while generating rental income from the other. Additionally, this property can be purchased together with the neighbouring 55 Chatham St, offering a rare opportunity to acquire two side-by-side duplexes for increased cash flow and long-term growth potential.
