Property Overview
This 1957 one-storey home at 1096 Mccalman Avenue in East Elmwood presents a compelling blend of space, value, and potential. Its primary appeal lies in its exceptionally large, private lot—over 8,800 square feet—which ranks in the top 1% for the street and neighborhood. This offers rare potential for gardening, expansion, or simply enjoying generous outdoor space. The 1,160 sqft living area is above average for the immediate area, and the home features a renovated basement and a detached garage. While the house itself is solidly positioned with an above-average assessed value for the locale, the standout feature is the land itself, suggesting the property's long-term value may be more in its underlying equity and possibilities than in its current structure. It would suit a buyer looking for a manageable single-level home who prioritizes yard space over a large interior, or an investor/renovator who sees value in the significant lot size for future development or enjoyment.
