Inside the home
This is a well-preserved 1954 bungalow on one of Brantford's larger residential lots — nearly half an acre backing onto a private, tree-lined yard with a paver stone patio. The main floor has hardwood throughout, a large living room with picture windows and a wood-burning fireplace, and crown moulding in every room. The primary bath has been updated cleanly. The kitchen is the clearest renovation need: original 1980s-90s laminate cabinets, white appliances, and vinyl tile floor. The basement is fully finished with a rec room, a retro bar and pool table area in original 1960s condition, and a standout library/office featuring hand-painted wildlife murals commissioned from a Toronto artist — documented in a framed Toronto Daily Star front page on the wall. The screened sunroom adds livable square footage across three seasons. Total finished space is approximately 2,348 sq ft between two levels. The home needs kitchen and cosmetic work, but the lot size, location, and bones are hard to find at this price point in Ava Heights.
