Property Overview

This one-storey home on Oxford Street in Central River Heights is a property defined by its potential and location rather than its size or recent sales history. Built in 1953, it is notably newer than many homes on its street and in the established neighbourhood. The lot is a manageable 4,798 sqft, which is smaller than typical for the immediate area but close to the city-wide average, offering lower maintenance outdoors. Key features include a renovated basement and a detached garage. The home’s living space is compact at 1,029 sqft, placing it below average for the area, which suggests a cozy, efficient layout. Its appeal lies in being an entry point into a desirable, central neighbourhood, with a renovated basement adding functional space. The very low historical sale prices indicate it may be a fixer-upper or a teardown candidate, appealing primarily to investors, developers, or handy buyers looking for a footprint in River Heights. It suits a buyer whose priority is land value and location over move-in-ready condition, who is comfortable with a project or strategic rebuild.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why are the historical sale prices so much lower than the assessed value?
This significant gap typically indicates a property sold in as-is condition, possibly for land value, or requiring substantial renovation. It’s essential to investigate the property's current state and any potential issues.

2. What does the "renovated basement" entail?
The listing notes a renovated basement, but specifics on quality, permits, or finish are not provided. A buyer should verify the scope of work, ceiling height, moisture control, and whether the renovation included necessary structural or electrical updates.

3. Given the smaller living area, what is the layout like?
With living area below local averages, the home likely has a traditional, efficient layout for its era. Understanding the room count and flow is key to assessing if it meets your needs or if an expansion is feasible.

4. How does the lot size impact future potential?
At 4,798 sqft, the lot is smaller than many in River Heights but still offers decent outdoor space. For a developer or renovator, this size could accommodate an addition or a new build that complies with local zoning bylaws, but it may have limitations compared to larger plots on the street.

5. Is this a good investment for the neighbourhood?
Central River Heights is a perennial in-demand area. The property’s primary investment value is its location. The low entry cost compared to the neighbourhood norm presents an opportunity, but the return hinges entirely on the cost of required improvements, rebuild, or the strategic value of holding the land.
