Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1,377 sqft home, built in 1915, presents a compelling blend of character and practicality in the sought-after Victoria West neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in its efficient use of space and its exceptional positioning within the local market. While the living area is modest compared to some larger homes on its street, it ranks in the elite top 5% for size within the wider Victoria West area, indicating a highly efficient layout for the neighborhood. The assessed value of $304k sits above the neighborhood average, yet is notably accessible compared to the higher street average, suggesting a value opportunity on a desirable block.

The property suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking character in a prime location without an oversized footprint. The smaller, manageable lot (3,600 sqft) reduces maintenance while still providing outdoor space, a trade-off that appeals to those prioritizing location over extensive grounds. A thoughtful perspective is that this home offers the charm and location of Victoria West, but with property taxes likely based on a more moderate assessment than some of its larger, higher-valued neighbors. It’s a home for those who value community and walkability over sheer square footage or a large yard.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the living space sufficient for a growing family?
At 1,377 sqft, the home is smaller than the average on its specific street but is significantly larger than the typical Victoria West home. It offers efficient, well-proportioned space ideal for small families or couples, but may require creative use of space for larger households.

2. Why is the assessed value lower than the street average?
The assessed value of $304k reflects factors like the home's size, age, and lot dimensions. While below the street average of ~$444k, it is above the Victoria West average, indicating you are paying for a premium location but within a home that has a more moderate valuation profile.

3. What should I know about a home built in 1915?
A home of this age offers classic charm but requires diligent inspection. Key focuses should be the condition of original features, updates to major systems (roof, wiring, plumbing, insulation), and ensuring any renovations have been permitted. Its vintage is typical for the street but older than most in the city.

4. How does the smaller lot size impact the property?
The 3,600 sqft lot is below average for the street, neighborhood, and city. This means less yard maintenance and potentially less private outdoor space, but it also often translates to a more accessible price point in a prime location.

5. How does this property rank for investment or resale?
Its elite size ranking within the high-demand Victoria West area is a strong positive for resale. The combination of a desirable address with a manageable scale and price can appeal to a broad segment of the market, though the older age and smaller lot are factors to consider for future buyers.
