Inside the home
This is primarily a land play. The irregular lot runs approximately 450 feet deep from Colborne Street, sits within Brantford's Intensification Corridor, and carries zoning that could support roughly 10,000 square feet of buildable footprint at up to 38 metres. The aerial photos tell that story clearly. The 1906 brick house itself has been partially updated inside — laminate floors throughout, a functional kitchen with stainless appliances, and two reasonably finished bathrooms. The exterior is a different picture: the front porch is deteriorated, and a derelict secondary building at the rear of the lot will need to come down. The rear yard currently holds scrap vehicles and debris. Buyers paying close to $1.2 million here are buying the land and the zoning, not the house. The existing structure is livable while development plans are sorted, but the real value sits in what can be built behind it.
