Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This two-storey home at 990 Burrows Avenue presents a compelling mix of space, value, and established character. Its primary appeal lies in its exceptionally generous living area of over 2,000 sq ft, which ranks in the top 2% of homes on its street and the top 1% within the broader Burrows Central neighbourhood. This makes it a standout for buyers seeking ample room without a premium suburban price tag. The home sits on a standard city lot and benefits from a renovated basement and a detached garage. Built in 1959, it is notably newer than many surrounding properties, offering a more modern foundation than much of the area's housing stock.

The property is ideally suited for value-conscious buyers who prioritize interior square footage above all else, such as large families, multi-generational households, or those needing dedicated space for a home business. Its strong assessed value and solid recent sale history suggest a well-regarded asset within its immediate community. A thoughtful perspective for potential buyers is to consider that while the living space is elite for the area, the lot size is average locally, meaning the outdoor space is functional but not expansive—a worthwhile trade-off for those who live primarily indoors.
