About this home

Inside the home

This is a brick duplex in downtown Brantford with both units currently rented on month-to-month leases. The building has good bones — solid red brick, hardwood floors in the living areas — but the exterior is in rough shape and neither unit has seen meaningful updates in decades. Buyers should budget for repairs from day one. The front porch needs significant work, and the kitchens and bathrooms in both units are dated. This is an income property that needs attention, not one you can leave as-is without risk to its long-term value. The appeal here is the downtown location and the flexibility that month-to-month tenancies give a new owner. Investors who want a stabilized building in pristine condition will need to look elsewhere. Those comfortable managing a value-add project in a high-density urban pocket may find the numbers worth working through.

  • Solid red brick construction
  • Both units currently tenanted month-to-month
  • Hardwood floors present in living areas
  • Large paved rear yard
  • Walking distance to downtown Brantford core
