Inside the home
This is a 1950s brick Craftsman on one of Brantford's better-known streets, held by the same family since 1977. The lot — 77 by 135 feet — is the headline. It backs a heated in-ground pool, a large deck with a covered gazebo, and mature trees that take decades to grow. The kitchen has been updated with white cabinetry, stainless appliances, and recessed lighting. Hardwood floors run through the main and upper levels. The main floor bedroom has been freshly painted and is in good shape. The upper bedrooms and bathrooms are original and will need work — expect 1970s-80s decor, dated fixtures, and a half-bath that's overdue for a full gut. The basement is full and unfinished. The hot tub is included as-is and has been off for several seasons. This is a property where the land and location carry real weight — the interior is livable now but offers clear renovation upside at a price that doesn't reflect someone else's choices.

There are addresses in Brantford that don’t come along very often, and The Strand is one of them. Set among mature homes and tree-lined streets in one of the city’s most established neighbourhoods, 33 The Strand has been owned by the same family since 1977. Now, for the first time in nearly 50 years, there’s an opportunity for another family to call it home.
Built in 1950, this character home offers approximately 1,351 sq. ft. above grade with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms and a full basement. It has the warmth and character you expect from a home of this era, with a traditional layout that works today and plenty of opportunity to make it your own over time. Move in, get settled and decide what matters to you. Keep the character you love, modernize the spaces you use most, open things up if that suits your family, or simply enjoy the home as it is while making changes at your own pace.
The property itself is a big part of what makes this one special. The 77’ x 135’ lot gives you space that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in the city, with mature surroundings, plenty of driveway parking and a heated in-ground pool that turns the backyard into a place your family can enjoy all summer. Parks, schools and shopping are nearby, while the established setting and character of the surrounding neighbourhood are what have made this part of Brantford desirable for generations.
At $550,000, 33 The Strand offers something a little different: the chance to get into a highly regarded Brantford neighbourhood without paying a premium for someone else’s renovation choices. Buy the location, the lot and the character that are already here. Live in the house now, make it yours over time, and build the kind of home your family may not want to leave for a very long time.
