Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This one-and-a-half storey home on Guildford Street in Deer Lodge offers a blend of classic charm and modern updates. Its key appeal lies in its generous 1,520 sqft of living space, which ranks well above average for both the immediate street and the broader neighbourhood. A recently renovated basement adds functional, modern living space. The detached garage and a standard-sized lot of just over 5,600 sqft provide practical outdoor space and parking.
The home’s assessed value is notably strong for the area, placing it in the top tier locally, which suggests solid inherent value and potential for stability.
