Property Overview
This one-and-a-half storey home, built in 1952, sits on a notably large lot of nearly 10,000 square feet on Henderson Highway. With 1,265 square feet of living space and a renovated basement, it offers a practical layout. Its detached garage and above-average land size for the area are key physical features. The home’s assessed value ranks above average for its immediate street, suggesting it is well-positioned within its specific neighbourhood context.
Key Characteristics & Appeal
The primary appeal of this property lies in its generous land size, which is a standout feature both for the street and the wider city. This offers significant potential for gardening, outdoor living, or future expansion. The renovated basement adds immediate functional living space. Its appeal is practical and grounded, suited for a buyer who values space over flashy updates. It would particularly suit a first-time buyer or a downsizer looking for a manageable home with a large, private yard in an established neighbourhood. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home itself is of average size for the area, the premium lot size provides a tangible asset that is increasingly rare, offering long-term value that isn’t solely tied to the building.
