88 Tollgate Road Unit 205

This second-floor unit at Spruce Lane Condominiums gives you a practical two-bedroom layout with a den, in-suite Maytag laundry, and hardwood floors through the main living areas. The balcony looks out over a quiet green space with no immediate neighbours behind. The kitchen and bathrooms are original — oak cabinets, laminate counters, dated vanities. They function fine but will need updating if modern finishes matter to you. Drop grid ceilings are throughout the unit, which is typical for this era of building. The building itself offers more than most in this price range: a fitness room, dry sauna, party room with kitchenette, and a recently refreshed lobby. At $359,900 for 1,189 square feet in Brantford, this is a realistic entry point for condo ownership with some updating budget still available.
