Property Overview
377 Kingsbury Avenue is a two-storey home built in 1900, offering a blend of historic character and practical updates. Its key appeal lies in its above-average space and value within its immediate neighborhood. The 1,282 sqft living area is notably larger than most comparable homes on its street and in the Jefferson area. It sits on a 4,830 sqft lot, providing generous outdoor space for the locale. A significant feature is the renovated basement, adding functional living space. The home is complemented by a detached garage.
This property would suit a buyer looking for a character home with room to grow in a well-established neighborhood. It’s ideal for someone who values a larger-than-average lot and interior space for the area, and who appreciates a home with a story, as it is one of the oldest on the street. The renovated basement makes it practical for a small family, a couple needing a home office or hobby space, or an investor seeking a solid rental property in a steady area.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the finishes or layout. A buyer should inquire about the quality of the renovation, whether it includes a proper ceiling, flooring, and if it adds legal bedroom(s) or simply finished living space.
2. How does the assessed value relate to market price?
The assessed value is $32,400k, which is for municipal tax purposes. Market value is determined by recent sales, condition, and demand. The last recorded sale was in 2016 for an estimated $25.5k-$28.5k, so the current market price will be significantly higher and unrelated to these older figures.
3. Are there concerns with a home built in 1900?
While full of character, a home of this age requires diligent inspection. Key considerations would be the state of the foundation, plumbing, electrical systems (knob-and-tube wiring may be present), and insulation. The recent basement renovation may have addressed some of these items.
4. What is the neighborhood like?
Located in Jefferson, the home ranks above average for both living area and assessed value within this specific area, suggesting it's a solid, established property for the neighborhood. Reviewing nearby properties on Kingsbury and Royal Avenues can give a feel for the streetscape.
5. How can I get exact historical sale prices?
The exact sold price history is not publicly displayed. As noted on the detail page, you must email the listing service to request this information manually. They state they do not use email addresses for unsolicited marketing.
