Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-situated home at 49 Crystal Avenue presents a compelling blend of modern comfort and established neighborhood character. Built in 2012, it is a notably newer construction compared to most homes on its street and in the wider Varennes area, suggesting contemporary building standards and less immediate need for major updates.

Its primary appeal lies in its generous and efficient layout. With 1,591 sqft of living space, it ranks in the top 10% for size on its street and in the Varennes neighborhood, offering more room than most local comparisons. This is paired with a manageable 4,516 sqft lot, providing outdoor space without the burden of extensive maintenance.

The home’s assessed value of $497k reflects its premium position, ranking above average at every level—street, neighborhood, and citywide. This indicates a property that holds its value well within a desirable context. It suits buyers looking for a move-in ready, spacious home in a mature community, particularly those who value a newer build but want to avoid a brand-new subdivision. It’s an ideal fit for growing families or professionals seeking a balance of modern interior space and a settled, established outdoor environment.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home truly compare to others in the area?
The data shows it consistently outperforms local averages. It’s newer, larger, and has a higher assessed value than most comparable homes on Crystal Avenue and in the Varennes neighborhood, placing it in the top tier for these key metrics.

2. Is the lot size a disadvantage?
Not necessarily. While the lot is slightly below the neighborhood average, it is very typical for Crystal Avenue itself. This often translates to less yard work and lower maintenance, which can be a plus for many buyers, while still providing adequate private outdoor space.

3. What does the above-average assessed value indicate?
It signals that the property is viewed as a premium offering in its locale. This is typically driven by its newer age, larger living area, and overall condition. It suggests strong intrinsic value, though the final sale price is always determined by the market.

4. Who would this property not suit as well?
Buyers seeking a very large yard or extensive landscaping projects might find the lot size limiting. Similarly, those looking for a historic character home or a bargain-priced fixer-upper in the area would find this modern, premium-priced property a mismatch.

5. Where can I see more detailed context about this specific location?
You can explore the interactive neighbourhood analysis page to see this property on a map alongside nearby houses, allowing for a direct visual comparison of year built, living area, value, and lot size with its immediate neighbors.
