HISTORY LIVES HERE - Some 30 years after the Brooks General Store & Livery were constructed in the downtown core & the village of Brooks was incorporated, a new era of residential development rose in the area. Craftsmen of all kinds descended to build homes for the residents coming to the area for opportunity. Brick layers & stone masons, fine carpenters & framers worked together to build the community. First the homes were built, then the former Brooks hospital, in 1944, now the Community Cultural Centre, which continues to be a hub of services just a block away. Very few of these special homes with original finishes are still standing in Brooks & 312 3 St. W is a lovingly preserved example. Sitting high up on the lot & sheltered by elm trees. Extensive improvements have been made to the roof system with new long life metal roof, truss reinforcement, fascia, soffits, eavestroughs, upgraded insulation & ventilation in 2025. All work completed by quality, local trades. The enclosed front verandah is heated & provides a welcome, spacious place for storage & buffer from the elements making the rest of the home more comfortable & energy efficient. The main floor opens to living room & dining area with wonderful original hardwood flooring & mouldings. Recently painted in colours that enhance the wood & stand up to the bright sunshine from the large windows. Large furniture pieces are at home here with versatility for how you layout the space. The front nook is a beautiful place to enjoy the canopied view of the street, set up a children's play area or your home office. Two generous bdrms on the main with ample closet space. Unique period finishes from different times come together in harmony; a mahogany accordion door, telephone alcove, curved plaster archways, all telling the story of how homes were changing in style & function. Galley style kitchen is remarkably roomy with large window overlooking backyard. Lots of cabinets & 2 sides of countertop workspace make it ver y functional. Main floor laundry in just renovated back entry with new exterior door & flooring. 4 PC bath was updated with tub, quality tile surround & a very unique corner toilet. Basement is fully finished with higher ceilings that you'd expect in this age of home & a practical family room space with lots of storage. Huge bedroom has walk-in closet & would make an excellent primary bdrm. Modern 3 pc bath with tiled shower. Premium systems include recently serviced boiler for hot water heating & rooftop AC. 100 AMP electrical service, copper & abs plumbing. Fenced backyard has some lovely mature shade trees & lots of open area for future garden plans. This home is conveniently located within walking distance to downtown, shopping, schools, childcare, health care services & would be ideal for those seeking a more walkable lifestyle. Walk-through this property virtually & imagine yourself in its next chapter. There's many years of life & enjoyment to be had & a rare opportunity for a home like this. (id:65958)

Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
Pick a down payment and tap any underlined number to edit. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Monthly carrying costs (shared)
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Accelerated bi-weekly frequency reduces total interest paid vs. monthly — confirm with a broker. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy. Always validate with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
