Property Overview
This 4-level split home at 11 Everingham Bay in Dakota Crossing offers a practical layout with a renovated basement and an attached garage. Built in 1989, the 1,822 sqft home sits on a notably large, approximately 9,400 sqft lot—a standout feature that ranks within the top 4% of the neighbourhood for land size. Its assessed value is positioned around the average for the area, suggesting a reasonable entry point relative to other local properties.
The appeal here is grounded in space and value. The generous lot provides rare potential for gardening, recreation, or future expansion in a well-established community. While the living space is typical for the immediate street, it is above average for both the wider neighbourhood and the city overall. This property would suit buyers looking for a solid family home with a substantial yard, who appreciate the character of a late-80s build and see value in a home that offers more outdoor space than most in its price range. It’s a practical choice for those who prioritize land over a brand-new build or premium finishes.
