Key Characteristics & Appeal

This one-and-a-half storey home on Giroux Street in Dufresne is a property defined by its practicality and potential. Built in 1900, it is notably older than most homes in the area, offering classic character. With 1,056 sqft of living space and a 3,424 sqft lot, its size is quite typical for the immediate neighbourhood. The home features a basement and a detached garage.

Its primary appeal lies in its exceptionally low financial barrier to entry, as reflected in its assessed value, which is among the lowest in the city. This presents a clear opportunity for first-time buyers, investors, or hands-on individuals seeking an affordable foothold in the market. The property is suited for a buyer comfortable with a home that requires updates, or for an investor looking for a rental property with very low initial capital outlay. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home ranks low on traditional metrics like assessed value and year built, it offers a unique chance to build equity through renovation in an established neighbourhood, rather than competing for higher-priced, turn-key homes.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the city average?
The assessed value is based on the property's current state, age, and characteristics. This valuation reflects its position as a fixer-upper compared to more modern or renovated homes, not the potential future value after improvements.

2. What does "basement, not renovated" typically imply?
This usually indicates a functional but unfinished or dated basement space. Buyers should budget for potential updates to suit their needs and should consider a thorough inspection to understand the condition of the foundation and essential systems.

3. Is the older age of the home (1900) a major concern?
While it offers charm, it necessitates extra diligence. Prospective buyers should prioritize a specialized inspection for the structure, wiring, plumbing, and insulation to understand the scope of any updates needed for safety, efficiency, and comfort.

4. Who would this property not be well-suited for?
It is likely not a match for buyers seeking a move-in-ready home without renovation projects, or for those who prioritize modern amenities and energy efficiency without the desire to install them themselves.

5. The home sold very recently (February 2023). What should I consider?
The recent sale indicates a potentially active market for such properties. It’s important to understand why it is being offered again so soon, which could range from investor flipping to a change in the buyer’s circumstances. A review of any work done since the last sale is advisable.
