Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-situated two-storey home in the J.B. Mitchell neighbourhood offers a practical and updated living space. Its key feature is a renovated basement, adding valuable finished square footage to the 1,317 sqft main living area. The home sits on a standard city lot with a detached garage. Built in 1955, it represents a mature, established streetscape.
The appeal lies in its strong positional value within its immediate context. The living space is notably above average for both Beaverbrook Street and the J.B.

It would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a move-in-ready home with modernized basics in a stable neighbourhood. It’s also a sensible choice for value-focused buyers who prioritize getting more interior space for their dollar within a specific community, rather than a larger lot on the city's outskirts.
Frequently Asked Questions

2. The assessed value seems low. Is that accurate?
The assessed value of $42,800 is for municipal tax purposes and is not an indicator of market selling price. The rankings show this assessment is above average for the street and neighbourhood, which is a positive sign of its relative value in the city's system.
3. Has the basement renovation been permitted?
This information is not provided in the public data. A key due diligence step for any buyer would be to inquire with the seller about permits for the basement renovation and to verify during a home inspection.
4. How does the lot size impact future plans?
At 4,488 sqft, the lot is slightly below average for the J.B. Mitchell area. This is a consideration if you have plans for significant expansions, like a large addition or pool, which might be more feasible on a larger parcel.
