Property Overview & Appeal

This 1945-built one-and-a-half storey home in Kildonan Drive sits on a generous 5,062 sqft lot. Its key characteristics include a renovated basement, detached garage, and 1,274 sqft of living space. The appeal lies in its established neighbourhood setting, with the property ranking above average for lot size and living area within its immediate street and area. The updated basement adds modern utility to a classic home structure.

It would suit a buyer looking for a character home with room to grow outdoors, who values the stability of an older neighbourhood. It’s a practical choice for someone comfortable with a home of this vintage, where the major update (the basement) has already been handled, allowing focus on main-floor living and the sizable yard.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare to newer subdivisions?
At over 5,000 sqft, the lot is substantially larger than many found in modern developments, offering more outdoor space for gardens, play, or entertaining.

2. What might "renovated basement" imply for a home of this age?
While specifics would require a viewing, this typically means the basement has been modernized for livable space, potentially addressing foundational concerns, insulation, moisture control, and creating a functional recreational or utility area.

3. The assessed value seems low. Is that the listing price?
No, the assessed value ($34.4k) is for municipal tax purposes and is not a market price. Market value is determined by recent sales of comparable homes, location, and condition. Refer to the listed price for the sale amount.

4. What are the considerations with a detached garage?
It provides flexible space and avoids fumes entering the house, but requires going outdoors in winter. It may also present an opportunity for a future workshop or storage conversion.

5. How does this home rank for its age on the street?
It ranks in the top 31% for year built on its street, meaning it is among the newer homes in the area, which is predominantly built from the 1940s-1950s.
