Property Overview
198 Larchdale Crescent is a one-storey home with a renovated basement and a detached garage, situated on a mature, established street in the Kildonan Drive area. Built in 1959, the 1,206 sqft home sits on a 5,804 sqft lot. Its assessed value is notably lower than many direct neighbors, which can indicate different factors such as a more modest original build or a tax assessment that hasn't caught up to recent renovations. The home appeals as a practical, grounded option in a neighborhood of similar-era houses. It suits first-time buyers seeking an entry point into a stable area, downsizers looking for a manageable single-level layout with a finished basement for extra space, or value-focused investors attracted by the below-average assessment in its immediate vicinity. The appeal lies in its renovated basement, the potential relative tax savings due to the assessment, and the quiet, crescent location.
