Ever wondered what it would be like to have help with the mortgage without giving up your privacy? This Henderson Survey corner lot has a setup you rarely find in Brantford, and the work has already been done. The main home has three bedrooms, a 4 piece bath updated in 2023 and a kitchen redone in 2017, plus a private back patio and garden space to settle into. Downstairs is a fully self-contained in-law suite, redone in 2019 and updated again in 2023 with new flooring, paint, washroom and kitchen touches. It has two bedrooms, the second one added in 2023 with full egress, plus its own kitchen, laundry, entrance, private driveway and outdoor space. Two driveways, two sets of doors, and everyone gets their own front step. The suite is vacant, so you choose your own tenant and set your own rent, or bring the in-laws or a grown child and the whole family still has room to breathe. The big ticket items are handled too, with the furnace and A/C both from 2019 and the roof from 2017. There is also a heated 1.5 car garage with hydro, ready for a workshop. The mature, family friendly street is close to schools, parks, trails and the Brantford Golf and Country Club, and Highways 403 and 24 are a quick drive for commuters. The corner location at Hillier Cres and St George Street is what makes the separate driveways possible. Move in, unpack and start living.
