Its standout feature is its assessed value of $298,000, which ranks in the top 8% on the crescent, suggesting it is a highly valued property in its micro-market. The lot size of 2,160 sqft is also generous for the street.
The appeal lies in its relative modernity and premium positioning within Lord Roberts.

This makes it a strong candidate for buyers seeking a home that requires less immediate updating than many in the area, with the perks of a mature neighbourhood. It would particularly suit practical buyers who value a "best house on the block" potential, or those looking for a move-in-ready property in a central location without the footprint or maintenance of a much larger city lot.
