Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This 2003-built, two-story home in Amber Trails offers a practical and modern living space with a renovated basement. Its key appeal lies in its balance of established community maturity and above-average modernity for its street. With 1,681 sqft of living area on a 5,095 sqft lot, it provides comfortable family-sized space. The attached garage and updated basement add functional value.

The home’s data reveals a thoughtful perspective: while it ranks in the middle of the pack for size and value within the wider neighbourhood and city, it stands out on its own street. It is one of the newest homes on Novara Drive (top 2%), suggesting a well-kept property among potentially older peers, and it has a notably high assessed value for the street (top 7%). This indicates it is likely perceived as a premium property within its immediate micro-market, possibly due to the renovations. It last sold in September 2021 for $530k.

This property would suit buyers looking for a move-in ready home in a mature, family-oriented suburb like Amber Trails, who appreciate a home that has been updated and offers strong value relative to its direct neighbours. It’s ideal for those who want space for a family without the maintenance of a brand-new build, and who see the value in a home that has already undergone significant improvements like a basement renovation.
