Property Overview
This home at 18 Horetzky Street in the Meadows neighbourhood presents a practical and value-conscious opportunity. Built in 1983, its key appeal lies in offering more interior space than is typical for its immediate area. With 1,040 square feet of living area, it ranks in the top 13% on its own street, providing a roomier footprint than many neighbouring homes. The lot size is a standard suburban parcel at just under 5,000 square feet. A notable characteristic is its assessed value, which sits below the average for both the street and the broader Meadows area, potentially indicating a value proposition for a buyer. The home last sold between 2016 and 2025 for an estimated $250,000–$300,000.
Its appeal is grounded in space efficiency and location. It suits first-time buyers seeking a home with room to grow without a premium price tag, or investors looking for a stable rental property in an established neighbourhood. A less obvious perspective is that a below-average assessment in an otherwise average-area context can sometimes reflect a property ripe for updates, allowing a buyer to add value through renovations while still benefiting from a reasonable initial price point.
