Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home is a study in contrasts, offering a compelling opportunity for a specific type of buyer. Its primary characteristic is a generous, well-above-average lot size of nearly 6,000 sqft, ranking in the top 3% on its street. This presents significant outdoor potential for gardening, expansion, or private outdoor living—a notable asset in a mature neighborhood. The house itself, built in 1941, is modest in size at 796 sqft, placing it below average for living space at every comparison level. The assessed value of $388k is consistently around the average for its street, neighborhood, and city.

The appeal lies in the land and location. It suits a buyer who values lot size over finished square footage, seeing potential in the property rather than a move-in-ready large home. This could be a first-time buyer comfortable with a cozy footprint who desires outdoor space typically unattainable in newer subdivisions, or an investor/renovator envisioning an addition or redevelopment. Its recent sale history (sold in 2021 between $350k-$400k) and stable assessment suggest a straightforward, established value proposition in Norwood West.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the house too small?
At 796 sqft, the living area is below the local averages. It would suit individuals, couples, or small families comfortable with efficient, older home layouts. The trade-off is the substantial lot.

2. What does the lot size ranking actually mean?
Ranking in the top 3% on its street for land area means this property has one of the largest lots on Birchdale Avenue. It offers more yard space than most immediate neighbors, which is a key differentiator.

3. How does the assessed value compare to recent sale prices?
The current assessed value ($388k) is consistent with the home's sold price range from 2021 ($350k-$400k). This indicates stable market valuation in line with recent transactions.

4. What are the implications of the 1941 build date?
The home is typical for its area, with a build date around the neighborhood average. Buyers should budget for updates common to houses of this era, but it is not an outlier in terms of age for Norwood West.

5. How can I get the exact historical sale price?
The provided data shows a price range. For the exact sale figure, you must request a manual lookup via email from the site, as they do not display MLS sold records directly.
