Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-situated two-storey home in Fort Richmond offers a practical and above-average footprint. With 1,592 sqft of living space, it sits comfortably in the top 20-30% for size both on its street and in the wider city, providing more room than many comparable properties. A key feature is its renovated basement, adding immediate functional space without the need for a project. The attached garage and a land area that is above average city-wide (6,376 sqft) complete the picture of a solid, established family home.

Its assessed value consistently ranks above average, particularly on its own street where it is in the top 13%, suggesting it is perceived as a premium property in its immediate context. This isn't a flashy custom build, but a home that represents stability and sensible value.

It would best suit buyers looking for a move-in-ready family home in a mature neighbourhood, who prioritize space and a renovated lower level over a brand-new construction. It’s also a sensible choice for value-conscious buyers who appreciate a home that consistently benchmarks well against its peers in key financial and spatial metrics.

2. What does the "above average" assessed value ranking mean?
The assessed value ranks in the top 13% on its own street and top 30% city-wide. This generally indicates the property is viewed by assessors as having higher value characteristics (like size, condition, location) than many of its peers, which can be a positive signal for underlying value.

3. The home was built in 1969. What should I consider?
