Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home at 96 Karen Street in Rossmere-A is a solid, established property built in 1972. With 1,071 sqft of living space on a 5,718 sqft lot, it presents as a manageable and practical family home. Its appeal lies in its strong positional value within the immediate neighborhood. While the living area is slightly below the street average, the property's assessed value of $363k ranks well above the Rossmere-A neighborhood average, suggesting it is perceived as a good-quality home on a desirable street. The 1972 build year is newer than most on the block and in the area, which can be a positive for systems and structure.

This home would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a stable, move-in-ready property in a mature neighborhood without the premium of a brand-new build. It’s for buyers who value neighborhood consistency over sheer size, as the data indicates you’re investing in a well-regarded location rather than the largest house on the street. A thoughtful perspective is that its "around average" metrics citywide might offer a sense of stability and predictability, insulating it from the extremes of the broader market.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s size compare to its neighbors?
The living area is slightly more compact (1,071 sqft) than the average home on Karen Street (1,168 sqft), but it is very close to the average for the Rossmere-A neighborhood (1,116 sqft). This suggests a efficient use of space within a community of similarly scaled homes.

2. Is the assessed value reasonable for the area?
The assessed value of $363k is above the Rossmere-A neighborhood average of ~$329.8k, ranking it in the top 19% locally. This indicates that assessors view this specific property favorably compared to others in the broader community, likely due to factors like its condition, lot, and newer build year.

3. When was it last sold, and for how much?
Public data shows it was sold in July 2022 within a price range of CA$350,000–400,000. Exact sale figures are available upon direct request to the listing provider.

4. What are the less obvious pros and cons of the build year?
Built in 1972, this home is newer than many in Rossmere-A. This can mean updated electrical wiring (like aluminum wiring was phased out) and potentially more modern plumbing layouts. However, homes from this era may also feature original components, like windows or roofing, that could be nearing the end of their service life.

5. How does the lot size impact its potential?
At 5,718 sqft, the lot is very typical for the street and neighborhood. It provides standard outdoor space for a family home but is not oversized. This is a practical lot for maintenance, with enough room for a garden or patio, but likely not for significant expansions without careful planning.
