The kind of home you raise your kids in. Set on a quiet dead-end street just off Dufferin, 5 Hawarden Ave offers the charm of a century home with a fully reimagined main floor designed for modern family life. Surrounded by mature trees, quality schools, and steps to the river trails--this is one of Brantford's most walkable and admired neighbourhoods. The heart of the home is the custom kitchen by Sarah St. Amant, with quartz counters, a walk-in pantry, and adjacent main-floor laundry. The open layout flows through bright, spacious living and dining areas with hardwood floors and a cozy gas fireplace--perfect for family time or entertaining. The stylish 2-piece bath features marble flooring and thoughtful design. Upstairs you'll find three generous bedrooms, a renovated 4-piece bath, and a versatile third-floor bonus room ideal for a kids' hangout, home office, or creative retreat--with extra storage tucked away. Major updates include furnace, AC, windows (with lifetime warranty), upgraded wiring, and attic insulation--100% move-in ready. Outside, relax on the covered front porch with composite decking, or enjoy the perennial gardens, rose bushes, and mature trees out back. A detached garage and private driveway complete the package. Homes like this in Holmedale don't come up often. Come see what makes this one so special.
