Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 2017-built, one-storey home in Dakota Crossing offers modern construction in a move-in-ready format. With 1,263 sqft of living space and an attached garage, it presents as a practical, low-maintenance property. Its primary appeal lies in its age; it is a newer home relative to its immediate neighbourhood and the wider city, potentially reducing near-term repair concerns. The assessed value is notably strong citywide, ranking in the top 25%, which suggests a favourable valuation foundation.

The home suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a contemporary layout without the premium of a brand-new build. Its living and land space are modest compared to some direct neighbours, making it efficient rather than expansive. A thoughtful perspective is that while the lot is smaller than others on the street, this translates to less yard upkeep. The unrenovated basement presents a clear opportunity for future customization to add value and space, appealing to buyers with renovation plans.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s value compare to others?
Citywide, its assessed value ranks in the top 25%, which is strong. On its own street and in Dakota Crossing, the assessment is around or below the local average, which may reflect its smaller size but could represent a relative value opportunity within this newer neighbourhood.

2. What are the main advantages of this property?
Its 2017 build date is a significant advantage, meaning major components like the roof, furnace, and windows are relatively new. This modern construction in an established area offers a balance of contemporary living without being in a brand-new subdivision.

3. Who would this property be best for?
It’s well-suited for buyers prioritizing modern mechanics and a single-level layout, such as first-time homeowners or those looking to downsize. The unrenovated basement also makes it a fit for buyers who want to finish a space to their own taste.

4. Are there any potential drawbacks?
The living space and lot size are below the average for both the street and the Dakota Crossing area. Buyers seeking ample room for expansion, extensive outdoor space, or above-average square footage for the price may find it compact.

5. What does the sale history indicate?
The home was last sold in February 2017, likely near its original construction. This single, nearly decade-old transaction suggests stable, long-term ownership, but provides little recent data on market fluctuations for this specific property.
