Property Overview
This two-storey home on Enniskillen Avenue stands out for its generous proportions and established Jefferson neighbourhood setting. Built in 1952, its primary appeal lies in its significant lot size of over 7,000 square feet—a rarity that places it in the top 1-2% of properties on its street and in the wider area. The nearly 2,000 square feet of living space is also well above local averages. A key feature is the renovated basement, adding functional living area, and the property includes a detached garage. The data indicates a home that offers substantial space both indoors and out, positioned on a quiet street among similar, well-maintained post-war houses.
It would particularly suit buyers looking for a long-term family home with ample room for gardens, play, or future additions. It also appeals to those who value the established character of neighbourhoods like Jefferson and seek a property with metrics that outperform most of its direct peers. The scale of the home and lot suggests it’s for someone ready to manage and enjoy a larger property, rather than a first-time buyer seeking a minimal-maintenance option.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the assessed value relate to the likely selling price?
The assessed value is for municipal tax purposes and is typically lower than market value. The last recorded sale in late 2021 was in the $47.5k-$50.5k range, close to the current assessed value of $46.2k, but current market conditions would be the primary driver of a new sale price.
What does the "top 1%" ranking for lot size actually mean?
It means this property's lot is larger than 99% of the 175 comparable homes on Enniskillen Avenue. In practical terms, you're getting a significantly larger yard than almost any other property you'd find on this specific street.
Is a 1952 home a concern?
The home is of an age where major systems (like roof, plumbing, or wiring) may have been updated or could be due for attention. The renovated basement is a positive update. A thorough inspection is always recommended to understand the condition of the original structure and any updates.
The living area is large for the street but average citywide. Why?
This highlights the neighbourhood context. Jefferson features many modest post-war homes, so this house is exceptionally spacious for its immediate area. Citywide averages include newer suburbs with larger floor plans, so it ranks as above average but not elite compared to the entire city.
What is the benefit of a detached garage?
It provides flexible storage or workshop space separate from the house. However, it also means accessing your vehicle in winter requires going outside, which is a trade-off compared to an attached garage.
