Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-situated one-storey home in Chalmers presents a practical and spacious offering. Its key characteristic is a generous, nearly 5,000 sqft lot, placing it in the top 10% of the immediate area and providing significant outdoor space or future potential. The 1,134 sqft living area is comfortably above average for both the street and neighbourhood, and it features a renovated basement, adding functional living space. A detached garage offers flexible storage or workshop potential.

The appeal lies in its strong local standing. The home ranks above average in Chalmers for living space, lot size, and assessed value, suggesting a solid investment within this community. It suits first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable single-level layout without sacrificing room to breathe. The large lot could also appeal to those with gardening ambitions, pets, or a vision for long-term expansion. A thoughtful perspective is that while its citywide assessed value is modest, its above-average ranking locally indicates a property that outperforms its immediate peers, potentially offering stability and value in a familiar neighbourhood setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the renovated basement add value?
It increases the home's functional living area, which is already above average for the area. This space can serve as a family room, home office, or additional bedrooms without the need for a major project.

2. What does the "above average" assessed value for the neighbourhood mean?
It indicates that, according to municipal assessment, this property is valued higher than most homes in Chalmers. This often reflects its larger lot and living area compared to neighbourhood averages, but it's important to compare this to recent sale prices for context.

3. Is the 1954 build date a concern?
While not new, the home is newer than many on its street and in Chalmers overall. The renovated basement suggests some updates have been made. A standard home inspection is recommended to understand the condition of major systems and the roof.

4. Who might the large lot benefit most?
Beyond gardeners, it offers a rare sense of privacy and space for children or pets to play in an established neighbourhood. It also provides a long-term option for adding a deck, shed, or even an addition, subject to zoning.

5. How does the detached garage affect winter use?
It provides secure storage for a vehicle or belongings but requires going outdoors to access the house. For some, this is a fair trade-off for keeping projects or hobbies separate from the main living space.
