Property Overview: 16 Loraine Street

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 2024-built home at 16 Loraine Street presents a distinct, modern offering within the established Varennes neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in its exceptional newness and efficient, above-average living space, set against a more compact lot.

The 1,536 sqft home is notably larger than most in its immediate area, ranking in the top 8% of the neighborhood for living area. Combined with its brand-new condition (newer than 99% of homes citywide), it offers a move-in-ready, modern lifestyle without the typical maintenance concerns of an older property. The assessed value of $560k reflects this premium, placing it well above local averages and indicating a perceived high quality and desirability.

This property suits buyers prioritizing a modern, low-maintenance home in a mature community. It’s ideal for those who value interior space and contemporary finishes over a large yard. The smaller, 2,570 sqft lot means less outdoor upkeep, which could be a perfect fit for busy professionals, small families, or downsizers seeking a new build within a settled area, rather than on the suburban fringe. It represents a trade-off: maximum modernity and interior comfort on a efficiently sized parcel of land.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: The lot size is noted as "below average." How significant is this?
A: The lot is compact, especially compared to others on Loraine Street. This means a smaller yard for gardening or play, but also significantly less maintenance. The focus here is squarely on the new home itself and its interior space.

Q: Why is the assessed value so much higher than the neighborhood average?
A: The assessed value reflects the home's brand-new condition (2024), its above-average square footage for the area, and modern construction standards. You are paying a premium for a virtually new property in an area where most homes are over 70 years old.

Q: What does the "Elite" ranking for year built mean practically?
A: Practically, it means major components like the roof, HVAC, windows, and appliances are new and under warranty. It also suggests modern building codes, energy efficiency, and likely an open-concept layout not common in older area homes.

Q: Is this a good investment for the price?
A: The data shows you are paying for a rare product: a new home in an established neighborhood. While it commands a high value now, its uniqueness may appeal to future buyers seeking the same combination. It may follow a different value trajectory than the typical, older area home.

Q: Who might this property not suit?
A: It may not suit buyers seeking a large, traditional yard, extensive gardening space, or the character and renovation potential of an older home. Those looking for the most square footage or land for their budget might find better value in an older, larger property.
