Inside the home
The backyard is the real story here. An inground pool, hot tub, deck with pergola, and a brick patio — all behind a full privacy fence, with open farmland directly behind and no rear neighbours in sight. That combination is genuinely uncommon in this part of Brantford. On the main floor, the kitchen has been updated with white shaker cabinets, dark counters, stainless appliances, and a sliding door that opens straight to the deck. The living and dining rooms share rich hardwood floors and California shutters throughout. The basement adds a large finished rec room with a gas fireplace, a media zone, a third bedroom, and a second bathroom — though the utility and laundry area is fully unfinished. The deck and pergola show their age and the basement bathroom is dated, so buyers should budget for some work there. But the bones are solid, the outdoor setup is hard to replicate, and the location puts you close to the 403 without sacrificing a quiet street.

Welcome to 68 Allensgate Drive — a solid-brick bungalow tucked into one of Brantford's most established north-end streets, in the heart of the Myrtleville neighbourhood. What sets this home apart is the backyard: a fully fenced retreat with an inground pool and hot tub, backing directly onto parkland with no rear neighbours. That combination is genuinely hard to find in this pocket, and it's the first thing you'll notice.
Inside, the main level offers easy single-floor living with two generous bedrooms, a full bath, and bright principal rooms framed by California shutters and updated windows (2020). Hardwood and ceramic flooring run throughout. The fully finished lower level adds a third bedroom, a second full bath, and a spacious family room anchored by a gas fireplace — perfect for a games room, movie nights, or extended family. All in, you're looking at over 2,400 square feet of finished living space.
Beyond the pool, the location does the rest of the work. You're steps from Walter Gretzky Municipal Golf Course and the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre, close to top-rated schools and playgrounds, and just minutes from Highway 403, Highway 24, and King George Road — ideal for commuters without sacrificing the quiet. A double-wide driveway and attached two-car garage round out the package.
Move-in ready, single-floor living, a turn-key pool, and green space at the back fence. Book your private showing and see why this combination is so hard to replicate in Myrtleville.
