Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 4-level split home, built in 1965, stands out for its generous proportions and prime lot. With 2,230 sqft of living space, it ranks in the top 5% of homes on its street and top 6% in Fort Richmond for size. The appeal is anchored by an exceptionally large, 11,398 sqft lot, placing it in the elite top 5% locally and top 4% city-wide for land area. The home features a renovated basement and an attached garage. While its assessed value is strong for the immediate area, the property’s age is typical for the neighbourhood.

Its primary appeal lies in offering substantial indoor and outdoor space—a combination that is increasingly rare. This isn't just a large house; it's a property with significant yard potential, suited for buyers who prioritize room to grow, entertain, or simply enjoy privacy. It would perfectly suit a family seeking space over a brand-new build, a multi-generational household benefiting from the split layout and renovated basement, or a buyer with a vision for gardens, additions, or outdoor living, given the lot's scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the home's age affect its condition and potential costs?
Built in 1965, the home is of a vintage common to the area. While the basement has been renovated, prospective buyers should budget for standard maintenance and updates expected of a home from this era, such as roofing, windows, or major systems. A thorough inspection is advised.

2. What does the "Elite" ranking for lot size actually mean for me?
Ranking in the top 5% locally means your property lot is significantly larger than most in the immediate area. This translates to more privacy, greater potential for landscaping, additions like a deck or shed, and possibly a more desirable streetscape due to less crowding.

3. The assessed value seems high for the neighbourhood. What does that indicate?
The assessed value of $47.40k ranks in the top 5% on Macalester Bay. This typically reflects the property's above-average living area and very large lot size compared to its direct neighbours, as assessed value is based on property characteristics. It may not directly predict market sale price but indicates the official valuation is high for the street.

4. Are there any recent comparable sales to gauge the market price?
The last recorded sale for this property was between October 2017. For exact historical sold prices and more recent comparable sales on the street (like 43 or 35 Macalester Bay), you would need to request that specific data, as only assessed values for nearby homes are publicly listed here.

5. What are the advantages of a 4-level split layout?
This style offers distinct separation of living spaces across multiple half-levels, which can provide good privacy between bedrooms and common areas. The renovated basement adds flexible living space. However, the multiple staircases may be a consideration for those with mobility concerns.
