74-year-old Surrey home sells for $1.5M above its assessed value
A Surrey home that’s 74 years old has sold for well above its assessed value of $3,750,000.
It was sold on March 2 for $5,338,000, which was even above the asking price of $5,288,000, according to Zealty.
The home has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 3,480 sq ft of space.
According to the listing from Royal LePage Wolstencroft, the lot features subdivision potential and is located in the prestigious Panorama Ridge area of Surrey. Was it development potential alone that helped this house earn so much more than it’s supposedly worth?
Pictures reveal a massive lot, and a home, while aged, looks more like a home you’d find in Shaughnessy than in Surrey.
