156 Sansome Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1,624 sqft home on Sansome Avenue in Westwood punches above its weight in living space. It ranks in the top 2% of homes on the same street for size, and in the top 17% within the neighbourhood. The living area is larger than both the street average (1,244 sqft) and the citywide average (1,342 sqft), making it a standout for someone who values interior room over a sprawling lot.

The assessed value sits at $371,000, which is above the street average ($356,200) but roughly in line with the neighbourhood and city medians. The home was built in 1963—consistent with the street average and slightly earlier than the neighbourhood and city norms. The land area of 5,596 sqft is notably below the street average (5,792 sqft) and well below the neighbourhood average (6,491 sqft). So you get a generous house on a more modest lot.

Who it suits: Buyers who prioritize finished interior square footage and want more space than typical homes in the area. It’s less suited to someone looking for a large yard or renovation potential tied to land value. The home feels like a solid, established property rather than a fixer-upper or a premium land play. It may appeal to families or downsizers who want room to spread out without paying for acreage.


Potential Questions (FAQs)

1. How does the living area compare to other homes in Westwood?
The home’s 1,624 sqft places it in the top 17% of the neighbourhood, with the average in Westwood being 1,372 sqft. It’s a noticeably larger home than most around it.

2. Why is the lot size smaller than the neighbourhood average?
The land area is 5,596 sqft, which ranks in the bottom third on Sansome Avenue and below the Westwood average of 6,491 sqft. This is common for homes built in the 1960s in established areas—you trade a bigger lot for a larger house footprint or a more central location.

3. Is the assessed value of $371,000 a good deal relative to the area?
The assessed value is slightly above the street average ($356,200) but sits around the middle for Westwood and the city as a whole. It suggests the home is priced in line with its size and condition, without being an obvious bargain or overvaluation.

4. How does the 1963 build hold up compared to newer homes?
The year built is typical for the street (average 1963) and slightly older than the neighbourhood (average 1966). Homes of this era often have solid construction with potential for updates—worth checking for original mechanicals, windows, or insulation.

5. What does the “Top 2% on the street” actually mean for resale?
It means this is one of the largest homes on Sansome Avenue. That rarity can be a selling point for future buyers who want interior space without moving to a different street or neighbourhood. However, the smaller lot may limit expansion or outdoor-focused buyers.
