Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare in size to others nearby?
At 1,170 sqft, the living area is below the average for Ravensden Drive itself but is closer to the average for the entire city. The trade-off is a larger-than-average lot for the Dakota Crossing area, offering more outdoor space.
2. What does the "Elite" ranking for Year Built in Dakota Crossing mean?
It indicates this 2016 build is significantly newer than most homes in the broader neighborhood, where the average comparison home was built around 1997. This suggests newer major systems (like roof, HVAC) and potentially modern building standards.
3. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the listing price?
Not directly. The assessed value of $498,000 is for municipal tax purposes. The last sale was in 2016 for $336,000. Market conditions, updates since the last sale, and current demand will determine the listing price.
4. Who would this layout suit best?
The single-storey (bungalow) layout is ideal for those seeking accessibility or wanting to avoid stairs. The renovated basement effectively adds a second level of living space, making it functional for small families or those who work from home.
5. What is the likely appeal of the lot size?
With a lot size ranking in the top 18% for Dakota Crossing, the property offers more outdoor privacy and space for gardening, play, or expansion (like a deck or shed) than many of its neighbors, which is a notable asset in a newer subdivision.
