153 Worth Street

153 Worth Street – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1,110 sqft home, built in 1911, sits on a 2,314 sqft lot. Its standout feature is living space. The interior is significantly larger than most other homes on Worth Street (ranked 2nd out of 13) and well above the average in the Weston neighbourhood (top 21%). City-wide, the living area is close to the median.

Where it falls short is land. The lot is the smallest on the street and among the smallest in the area (bottom 2% city-wide). The assessed value of $180,000 reflects this trade-off: it’s slightly below the neighbourhood average but dramatically lower than the city-wide average ($390,100), which suggests the value is concentrated in the house itself, not the land.

Who it suits: Buyers who prioritize interior square footage over outdoor space. It would appeal to someone looking for a larger-than-average starter home in an older, established neighbourhood like Weston, where land is scarce but character homes are common. It’s less suited for families wanting a big yard or investors banking on land appreciation. The 1911 build means older construction—someone comfortable with the maintenance realities of a century home, or looking for a renovation project, would be a natural fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the living area compare to similar homes nearby?
   The home is in the top 15% on its street and top 21% in the Weston area. At 1,110 sqft, it’s well above the typical 830–936 sqft found on the street and in the neighbourhood.

2. Is the lot unusually small?
   Yes. At 2,314 sqft, it’s the smallest lot on Worth Street and in the bottom 7% of the neighbourhood. City-wide, it sits in the bottom 2%. If you need a large yard or garden space, this would be a limitation.

3. Why is the assessed value relatively low compared to the city average?
   The city-wide average for comparable homes is $390,100, while this property is assessed at $180,000. The main reason is land value. The lot is small, and the property is in an older, lower-value area like Weston. The value is in the building itself, not the land underneath.

4. What does a 1911 build mean in practical terms?
   You’re getting a home that’s over 110 years old. This often means solid construction and character details, but also potential issues with outdated wiring, plumbing, insulation, or foundation work. It ranks older than 93% of homes city-wide and 79% in the neighbourhood—so a property survey and inspection are especially important.

5. How does this home compare to others in Weston?
   It offers above-average interior space for the neighbourhood (top 21%), but the lot is below average (bottom 7%). The assessed value is slightly under the neighbourhood average of $184,700. It’s typical for the area in terms of age and overall value, but unusual in how much interior space is packed onto a small piece of land.
