Property Overview
This 1987-built, one-storey home on a spacious lot presents a practical and comfortable living option. Its key appeal lies in being a well-established, single-level home with a finished basement, offering move-in-ready space. The property sits on a nearly 6,000 sqft lot, providing ample outdoor room in a mature neighbourhood.
The home would suit first-time buyers seeking a manageable layout without stairs, or downsizers looking for a solid, low-maintenance bungalow. Its value proposition is grounded in its above-average lot size and the utility of the finished basement, which expands its livable space beyond the 1,200 sqft main floor. A thoughtful perspective is its relative "newness" within its immediate area—it's newer than over 90% of homes on its street—which can mean fewer major age-related repairs in the short term compared to older neighbours. However, its interior size is average for the community, so it's a home that prioritizes lot space and layout efficiency over square footage.
