Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1980-built home in River Park South offers a practical, mid-century footprint of 1,162 sqft, which is notably above average for its immediate street. Its assessed value of $367k sits below the averages for both the street and the wider neighborhood, suggesting a potentially accessible entry point into the area. The most distinctive characteristic is the compact 2,800 sqft lot, which is significantly smaller than most in the city. This creates a unique value proposition: you're acquiring a home with more interior space than many on the block, but with less yard to maintain.

The appeal lies in this efficiency. It suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable property without sacrificing living space inside. The below-average assessment for the neighborhood could indicate room for value growth, especially if the interior has been well-kept or updated. It’s a pragmatic choice for those who prioritize home size and location over a large garden, offering a lower-maintenance lifestyle while still providing the stability of a mature, established community like River Park South.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the smaller lot size a major disadvantage?
It depends on your lifestyle. It greatly reduces yard maintenance and may lower landscaping costs, which is a benefit for many. However, it offers less private outdoor space and limits potential expansions like large decks or additions.

2. The assessed value is below neighborhood average. Does that mean it’s a bargain?
Not necessarily. Assessment is for tax purposes and can be influenced by many factors, including the smaller lot and the home's specific condition. It does, however, suggest the property may be priced more accessibly than others in River Park South, but a professional inspection is key to understanding its true market value.

3. What does the "above average" living area for the street mean?
It means that compared to the 65 homes on Charing Cross Crescent, this home offers more interior space than most. You’re getting a house that is physically larger inside than many of its direct neighbors, which is a positive differentiator.

4. How reliable is the 2016 sold price data shown?
The provided sold price range is from public records, not the MLS. For fully verified and exact historical sale figures, you must request a manual lookup from the site via email, as noted in the disclaimer.

5. The home was built in 1980. What should I be concerned about?
Homes of this age may have original major systems nearing the end of their service life. A thorough inspection should focus on the roof, windows, plumbing, electrical (especially aluminum wiring, which was common then), and the heating/cooling system.
