Key Characteristics & Appeal

This one-and-a-half storey home on a standard-sized lot in Jefferson presents a compelling mix of character and modern updates. Built in 1951, it is notably newer than many homes on its street. The living space, at 772 sqft, is cozy and efficient, placing it below the average size for the area, which suggests a manageable layout for streamlined living. A key feature is the renovated basement, adding valuable finished space. The home boasts a detached garage and does not have a pool.

Its primary appeal lies in its strong assessed value of $310k, which ranks well above average for both the immediate street and the Jefferson neighbourhood. This indicates that the property is perceived to have substantial value relative to its peers, likely due to its updates and desirable lot. The recent sale history suggests a stable and appreciating market position.

This property would ideally suit first-time homebuyers or downsizers seeking a character home with modern touches in an established neighbourhood, without the maintenance of a larger footprint. It’s also a smart option for value-focused buyers who appreciate a home with above-average assessed value for its locale, viewing it as a solid investment in a mature community.
