Fresh off a 2025 furnace and A/C install, this brick cottage on a 42 by 105-foot lot is ready for new owners. Walk into an eat-in kitchen that flows into a bright living room, both on the main level with two bedrooms and an updated four-piece bath. It's a solid 1,100 square feet above grade, but the full basement adds a rec room, laundry, and storage space that you don't see in many homes at this price. The backyard is fully fenced, so it's great for pets or a garden. Parking for two cars on the driveway, no garage to worry about. You're a short drive or walk from the action: 1.1 km to Boston Pizza, 1.2 km to Laurier's Brantford campus, and 1.3 km to the Sanderson Centre for shows downtown. Schools are nearby too, with Pauline Johnson Collegiate just 0.8 km away. Taxes run about $2,807 a year. This one's priced at $424,900, a bit above the area's $399,900 median, but the new furnace and A/C plus the location make it a fair ask. If you're a first-time buyer or looking to downsize without giving up space, this place is a practical choice that won't break the bank.
