Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This well-maintained cabover home in Amber Trails offers a balanced and established family living environment. Built in 2003, it sits on a notably large lot (over 7,400 sq ft), providing ample outdoor space that ranks highly for the area. The 1,861 sq ft living area is comfortably above average for both the street and the wider city. Key features include an attached garage and a renovated basement, adding valuable finished space. Its assessed value has remained stable and strong, closely aligned with a recent 2023 sale price, indicating a solid and recognized market value.

The appeal lies in its combination of space, stability, and a mature setting within a newer neighbourhood. It suits buyers looking for a move-in ready home with room to grow outdoors, without the premium or unpredictability of a brand-new build. It’s a practical choice for families who value a large yard and established community vibe over being the newest house on the block. A thoughtful perspective is that this property represents a "sweet spot" in the neighbourhood's lifecycle—the landscaping is settled, the community is formed, and the home itself is past its initial wear-in period, offering a sense of permanence and character that newer subdivisions are still developing.
