Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 2019-built bi-level home presents a unique blend of modern convenience and established neighborhood character. Its primary appeal lies in its relative newness within a mature area like Chalmers, offering a move-in-ready condition that stands out. The home features a renovated basement and 1,020 sqft of living space, which is above average for its immediate street. The lot size of 2,904 sqft is manageable, favoring low-maintenance outdoor living.

The property is particularly suited to first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a modern, efficient home without the upkeep of an older property. Its strong assessed value ranking locally suggests it is viewed as a solid asset within the community. A thoughtful perspective is that this home offers a "best of both worlds" scenario: the modern systems and layout of a new build, coupled with the settled, tree-lined streets of an established neighborhood, potentially avoiding the raw, unfinished feel of some brand-new subdivisions. The recent sale history shows significant equity growth since 2019, indicating strong market confidence in this specific home and street.
