Inside the home
This is primarily a land play. The house — a 1906 Victorian red brick — sits at the front of a lot that stretches roughly 407 feet deep to a rear lane, with the property sitting on Brantford's Intensification Corridor. The city's new zoning framework allows up to 10,167 sq ft of buildable footprint at 38 metres in height. That is the headline here. The main house has been partially updated inside: laminate floors, grey paint, a functional maple-cabinet kitchen with stainless appliances, and two reasonably updated bathrooms. The front porch is in rough shape. The rear of the lot holds a derelict two-storey commercial building (former archery supply shop), a metal-clad outbuilding, a concrete block garage, and scattered old vehicles — all requiring cleanup or demolition. Buyers should approach this as a development site with a liveable house attached, not the reverse. Confirm zoning permissions and development timelines directly with the City of Brantford before making any assumptions.
