Inside the home
This 1895 yellow brick home has kept most of its original character intact — pressed tin ceiling in the foyer, carved oak staircase, stained and leaded glass windows in the dining room and living room, decorative archways — while getting genuine updates where it counts. The kitchen has white shaker cabinets, granite counters, a gas range, and open shelving. Both bathrooms have been redone, with the ensuite featuring a clawfoot tub and glass shower. The rear addition functions as a combined family room and laundry space with vaulted ceilings and patio doors to the deck. It works, but buyers should know the stacked washer/dryer sits in an open alcove off this room. The partial basement is unfinished. The detached garage is a genuine bonus — gas heated, 60 amp subpanel, workshop area, and a full loft above for storage or future use. The property sits on a landscaped lot in the Holmedale Dufferin area, one of Brantford's older established streets.
