Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a character-filled, two-and-a-half storey home built in 1913, situated on a standard residential lot in the established Crescentwood neighbourhood. Its key feature is a recently renovated basement, adding modern utility to a classic structure. The home offers 1,571 sqft of living space, which feels compact compared to larger Crescentwood estates but is actually above the citywide average, suggesting an efficient and potentially more manageable layout. A detached garage provides vehicle storage or workshop space.

The appeal lies in its position within a desirable, tree-lined area, offering character and location over sheer size. The data reveals a thoughtful perspective: while the home is below average in size and land area for Crescentwood, it ranks above average for assessed value on its street and citywide. This suggests the property is valued for its specific lot, renovated condition, or the intrinsic worth of a well-placed home in the neighbourhood, rather than pure square footage.

It would suit a buyer looking for a foothold in a prime area without the upkeep of a massive estate—perhaps a small family, couple, or professional seeking character and community. It’s for someone who values a renovated basement for extra living space and prefers a home with historical roots that has been partially updated for modern living.

Frequently Asked Questions

2. What does the assessed value tell us?
The assessed value is above average for the street and citywide, but around average for Crescentwood. This indicates the property is well-regarded for its specific location and attributes, even though it isn't one of the largest homes in the area.

3. Is the renovated basement a full suite?
The listing notes a renovated basement but does not specify if it is a legal suite. Buyers should verify the renovations comply with local codes and determine the exact nature of the space (e.g., recreational, rental, or additional living area).

4. What is the typical buyer for this street and style?
Dorchester Avenue features classic, early-20th-century homes. Given this home's size and character, it likely attracts buyers seeking the established neighbourhood feel and architectural charm of Crescentwood, but with a relatively modest scale.
