Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a modest, one-storey home built in 1957 on a standard-sized lot in the Jameswood neighbourhood. With just over 1,000 square feet of living space and no basement or garage, it represents a straightforward, low-maintenance property. Its primary appeal lies in its affordability and simplicity, underscored by an assessed value significantly below area averages. The home last sold in mid-2021.

The data presents a nuanced picture: while the home's size and value rank below average for its immediate street and the city, its 1957 build date is notably older than most in Jameswood, suggesting it's among the original homes in that pocket. This could appeal to a first-time buyer, an investor, or someone looking for a minimal footprint who values the potential of the lot itself over the existing structure. It suits a practical buyer comfortable with a home that may require updates, or one who sees value in a blank-slate property in an established area.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the assessed value so much lower than area averages?
The assessed value is a municipal valuation for tax purposes, often based on factors like home size, age, and features. This home's modest size, older age, and lack of a basement or garage contribute to a lower assessment compared to larger, more updated homes in the wider area.

2. What does having "no basement" mean for this property?
All living space is on the main floor. This can mean lower heating/cooling costs and less maintenance, but it also limits storage and potential for a secondary suite or recreational space. Mechanical systems like the furnace and water heater will be in a main-floor utility closet.

3. The home is "older than average" for Jameswood. Is that a concern?
It indicates this is likely one of the neighbourhood's original homes. While it may need more attention to systems like plumbing or electrical compared to a newer build, it also means the lot is well-established, often with mature trees, in a settled community.

4. How reliable are the sold price ranges shown?
The ranges are estimates based on public data. For the exact historical sale price, you must request it via email from the site, as they manually verify and provide the precise figure.

5. Who would this property not be suitable for?
It would likely not suit a growing family needing multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, anyone requiring significant storage or garage space, or a buyer seeking a move-in-ready home without any renovation projects.
