Property Overview: 972 Beach Avenue, East Elmwood

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-situated two-storey home on Beach Avenue offers a classic layout with modern updates, anchored by a renovated basement. Built in 1952, it features 1,329 sqft of living space and sits on a generous 4,999 sqft lot, providing ample outdoor room. A detached garage adds practical storage or workshop space.

The home’s primary appeal lies in its strong standing within its immediate neighborhood. It ranks above average for both living area and lot size on its own street and in East Elmwood, meaning you get more space than many nearby properties. The renovated basement adds functional, modern living area. While the home is of a typical vintage for the area, it presents a solid, updated canvas in a mature community.

This property would suit a first-time homebuyer or a downsizer looking for a manageable, character home with updated essentials and a good private yard. It’s also a fit for a buyer who values being in a stable, established neighborhood over a brand-new build, and who appreciates a home that offers more interior and exterior space than many of its direct peers.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare in size to others nearby?
Very favorably. With 1,329 sqft of living space, this home is larger than approximately 86% of comparable homes on Beach Avenue and 85% in the wider East Elmwood area, offering more interior room than most in the neighborhood.

2. What is the significance of the assessed value?
The assessed value of $33,700 is for municipal tax purposes. It’s notably above the average for both the street and East Elmwood, which often reflects the home’s larger lot and living area, plus the renovated basement. It is not the market sale price.

3. Is the lot size a notable feature?
Yes. The 4,999 sqft lot is larger than about 81% of lots on Beach Avenue and 75% in East Elmwood. This provides a tangible advantage in outdoor space for gardens, play, or entertaining compared to many neighboring properties.

4. The home was built in 1952. What should I consider?
While the renovated basement is a significant update, a home of this age will have original core components, like the roof, windows, and major systems. A thorough inspection is recommended to understand the condition and timing of any future updates needed.

5. Who might this home not suit?
Buyers seeking a brand-new, low-maintenance property or those who prioritize a massive city-wide lot size may find it less ideal. The home offers great space for its area, but lot sizes in newer suburban developments can be larger. It’s best for those who value an established neighborhood feel.
