Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a well-maintained, post-war one-and-a-half storey home in the established Archwood neighbourhood. Built in 1948, it sits on a notably spacious lot of nearly 5,000 sq ft, which is larger than most on its street and in the wider area. The home itself is compact at 888 sq ft, but features a renovated basement, adding functional living space. Recent sale history shows a steady and significant increase in value, suggesting the property has been updated and is in a stable, appreciating market segment.

Its primary appeal lies in its efficient use of space on a generous, private lot—a combination that can be hard to find in this price range. It suits first-time buyers looking for a solid entry point into homeownership without a major renovation project, or downsizers seeking a manageable property with outdoor space and a finished lower level. A thoughtful perspective is that while the living area is modest, the large lot offers valuable future potential for gardening, expansion, or simply enjoying more privacy than newer, tightly packed subdivisions typically allow. Its strong rankings for lot size and recent sale price within its immediate neighbourhood indicate it's a standout property on its block.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the "renovated basement" likely include?
While specifics aren't listed, a renovated basement in a home of this era typically means it has been finished into a usable living space, such as a family room, office, or additional bedroom, and likely includes updated flooring, walls, and lighting. It's essential to confirm the permits and quality of the renovation.

2. Is the lack of a garage a significant drawback?
For some buyers, yes. However, the very large lot provides ample off-street parking space and the potential to add a garage or shed in the future, which is a key advantage over properties on smaller lots.

3. The home's living area is below average for the neighbourhood. Should I be concerned?
Not necessarily. The below-average square footage is reflected in the price and is balanced by the above-average lot size and the renovated condition. It represents an opportunity to own a home with outdoor space in a desirable area at a more accessible price point.

4. The assessed value is significantly lower than the last sale price. Why?
Municipal assessed values for taxation purposes often lag behind current market values, especially in a rising market or after significant improvements. The recent sale price is a more accurate reflection of the home's current market worth.

5. The neighbourhood rankings seem mixed. How do I interpret them?
The rankings show the property performs differently across metrics. It ranks highly for lot size and recent sale price within Archwood, indicating it's a strong offering locally. Its lower rankings for year built and living area are typical for an older, character home. This suggests you're paying for the land, condition, and location rather than sheer interior size.
