Property Overview: 655 Kent Road, East Elmwood

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home, built in 1960, offers 1,672 sqft of living space on a 5,172 sqft lot. Its key characteristic is a sense of solid, above-average value within its immediate neighborhood. The living space is notably larger than most in East Elmwood, and the home boasts a renovated basement, adding functional space. Its assessed value ranks highly for the area, suggesting it is a well-regarded property on its street.

The appeal lies in its positioning as a spacious, established home in a mature community. It suits practical buyers looking for room to grow without the premium of a brand-new build. It’s ideal for a young family needing more interior space than typical for the area, or for someone seeking a home with a modernized lower level ready for use. A thoughtful perspective is that a 1960 build is relatively newer for the area, potentially meaning updates to core systems may be more recent than in neighboring older homes, a less obvious but valuable advantage.
