Key Characteristics & Appeal

This Norberry home presents a practical and competitively positioned offering. Built in 1971, it is notably newer than many homes on its street and in the wider area, which can be an advantage for systems and maintenance. With 1,114 sqft of living space, it offers a comfortably average-sized layout for the neighbourhood. The assessed value of $346,000 sits below the average for Barrington Avenue, suggesting a potentially attractive entry point into the street, while being aligned with typical values across Norberry.

The appeal lies in its balance and context. It is a home that doesn’t stand out for sheer size or lot dimensions—the land area is modest for the area—but represents a solid, newer-than-average construction in a mature neighbourhood. It suits first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable property without a premium price tag for its immediate street. A thoughtful perspective is that its newer build date relative to neighbours may imply more modern wiring, plumbing, or insulation standards than area averages, a less obvious but valuable practical benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the property’s value compare to nearby recent sales?
The home last sold between $250,000-$300,000 in March 2019. Its current assessed value is above that range, which is typical given market changes. Compared to current averages, its assessment is below the norm for its specific street but aligns with the broader Norberry area.

2. Is the lot size a disadvantage?
At 4,631 sqft, the lot is smaller than most in Norberry and on Barrington Avenue. This means less yard space for gardening or expansion, but also translates to less exterior maintenance, which some buyers may prefer.

3. What does the "newer" build year actually mean for a 1971 home?
While 53 years old, it was built nearly a decade later than the average home on its street (1962). In a neighbourhood of this vintage, this relative newness can sometimes correlate with updates in building materials and codes from the mid-century period, though a full inspection is always recommended.

4. How accurate is the sold price data provided?
The sold price shown is a broad range based on publicly available internet data, not from the MLS. For fully verified and exact historical sale figures, you must request a manual lookup from the site via email.

5. Who would this property not suit?
Buyers seeking a large yard, a project home with significant "sweat equity" potential, or a standout property well above neighbourhood averages in size or value might find this home too modest. It is positioned as a comfortable, average offering within its community.
