Inside the home
This 1875 Gothic cottage on a deep Terrace Hill lot is squarely a renovation project. The bones are real — original hardwood floors, a large living room with an exposed beam, distinctive steep gabled roofline — but the interior needs significant work before it feels livable. Walls throughout show heavy cosmetic damage, the rear addition is in rough shape, and the kitchen is a mismatched collection of updates from different eras. The lot is the clearest reason to look at this property. It runs deep, has a detached garage, a greenhouse, and mature tree cover — that kind of outdoor space is genuinely uncommon at this price point in Brantford. The bathroom is functional and the kitchen workable in the short term, but a buyer should budget for a full cosmetic renovation at minimum. At $279,999, this is priced as a project. It suits someone comfortable swinging a paintbrush and more, who wants a foothold in an established central neighbourhood.
