141 Brock Street – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1,718 sqft home on Brock Street, built in 1927, sits on a 5,238 sqft lot with an assessed value of $692,000. Its standout feature is value relative to its immediate street context. On Brock Street, the property ranks in the top 4% for assessed value, while the average on the street is $489,100. The living area is also above average citywide, ranking in the top 20%, though it fits within the typical range for the street and the broader Wellington Crescent neighborhood.
The home’s appeal is somewhat nuanced. While it commands a notably high value for the street, it ranks around average within the wider Wellington Crescent area (top 43%), where the neighborhood average assessed value is $805,600. This suggests the property may offer more space or quality compared to its immediate neighbors, but is not at the top tier for the entire upscale district. The lot size is typical for the street but smaller than the neighborhood average, and the home’s 1927 construction date places it on the older side citywide.
This property would suit a buyer who values a strong relative position on a specific street. Someone looking for a home that stands out within Brock Street—likely offering more living space or better finishes than nearby houses—while still being in a prestigious area like Wellington Crescent. It may be less ideal for a buyer seeking a home that ranks among the top in the entire neighborhood or who prioritizes a newer build or a larger lot.
