Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a substantial, character-filled home in the established Earl Grey neighbourhood. Built in 1913, the two-and-a-half-storey house offers over 2,000 square feet of living space, placing it in the top tier of homes locally for size. Its appeal lies in this generous scale combined with a renovated basement and a larger-than-average lot for the area, providing both interior room and outdoor potential. The detached garage adds practical utility.

The home’s standout feature is its strong positional value within a desirable context. The data shows it ranks in the elite tier on its own street and in the Earl Grey area for both living area and assessed value, meaning it is a historically significant property within its immediate peer group. It suits buyers looking for a home with classic architecture and space to grow, who value being in a mature neighbourhood with a proven track record. It’s a solid choice for those who appreciate a home that already stands out in its local market, rather than a new-build in a developing area.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the "Elite" ranking for living area actually mean?
It means that, compared to other homes on Jessie Avenue and in the Earl Grey neighbourhood, this house is in the top 2-5% for sheer square footage. You are getting significantly more interior space than is typical for the location.

2. The house was built in 1913. Should I be concerned about upkeep?
The year built is around average for its immediate area, so many neighbouring homes will be of a similar vintage. The key points to investigate are the specific updates made over the years, the condition of major systems (roof, wiring, plumbing), and the noted renovation to the basement.

3. How does the assessed value relate to the likely selling price?
The assessed value for taxation purposes ($47,900) is not a market price. It indicates the home is formally valued highly relative to its neighbours. The last known sale was in 2017 for $400,000. A current market evaluation is essential, as prices have shifted since then.

4. The lot size is noted as "above average" for the area but "around average" city-wide. Why the difference?
This highlights the neighbourhood's character. Earl Grey features more compact, established lots compared to newer suburban subdivisions. The lot is spacious for this specific, central neighbourhood, offering good outdoor space in that context.

5. What is the significance of the detached garage?
In older neighbourhoods, a detached garage is common. It provides secure parking and storage. For some, it offers potential for a workshop or studio space, separate from the main house.
