Inside the home
Built in 1914 and officially recognized by the City of Brantford for its cultural heritage value, this Tudor Revival home on a Holmedale-Dufferin street is one of the more intact examples of pre-WWI residential architecture you will find in the city. The original millwork — fluted columns, multi-layered crown moulding, carved door casings — is in exceptional condition for a 110-year-old house. Major infrastructure has been addressed: a new steel roof, a new boiler system, and updated wiring are already done. Six fireplaces are spread across the main and upper floors, several with gas inserts. The kitchen has updated stainless appliances and granite counters but retains a traditional cabinet style. Two floors have clawfoot-tub bathrooms that lean into the period aesthetic. Buyers should note that heritage designation comes with exterior modification restrictions. The third-floor rooms work as bedrooms but have sloped ceilings. Mini-split wall units handle cooling on the upper floors rather than central air.
