Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1948 one-and-a-half storey home in Archwood presents a solid, no-fuss opportunity. Its key characteristic is a renovated basement, adding valuable finished space to the 918 sqft main living area. The property sits on a generously sized 4,251 sqft lot, offering more outdoor space than many in the immediate area, and includes a detached garage.

The appeal lies in its established neighbourhood setting and practical updates. The data suggests a home that has been maintained, with its assessed value ranking solidly above average for Winnipeg. It particularly suits first-time buyers or practical downsizers looking for a manageable footprint without sacrificing yard space, or an investor seeking a character home with a modernized lower level. A less obvious perspective is its potential for someone valuing outdoor privacy or gardening, given its lot size ranks in the top quarter of the neighbourhood. The 2017 sale price, significantly lower than the current assessment, indicates a period of substantial value increase, which may appeal to buyers looking in appreciating areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does "renovated basement" typically mean for a home of this era?
It usually indicates the lower level has been modernized for livability, potentially as a rec room, additional bedroom, or suite. Given the age, it’s wise to inquire about the specifics of the renovation, including moisture control, ceiling height, and permits.

2. How does the detached garage impact utility?
A detached garage offers flexibility for a workshop or project space separate from the house. The trade-off is dealing with winter weather when accessing your vehicle. For some, this separation is a benefit; for others, a connected garage is preferable.

3. The home is older—what should I budget for maintenance?
While the basement is renovated, a 78-year-old home will have aging core components. Setting aside a budget for potential updates to the roof, windows, or original plumbing and electrical systems is a prudent part of your planning.

4. The lot is larger than many nearby. What are the implications?
This means more private outdoor space and less feeling of being crowded by neighbours. It also may mean slightly more yard work and snow clearing. For the right buyer, the extra space is a significant asset.

5. Why is there such a difference between the 2017 sale price and the current assessed value?
The increase reflects market-wide appreciation over seven years, likely combined with value added from the basement renovation and general maintenance. It shows the property has kept pace with, and in some rankings exceeded, area trends.
