Nestled on Brantford’s prestigious Dufferin Avenue, this 1920 architectural gem offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern convenience. Built by a local lawyer inspired by his recovery from injury in WWI in an English countryside cottage, this unique home exudes character from every corner. Situated on a spacious 70x155 lot, the home is surrounded by mature trees, historic neighbours, and the tranquility of Preston Park just steps away. As you step inside, you’ll be greeted by the original birch hardwood floors, a sun-filled formal living room with a cozy window seat, and a gas fireplace.
