Key Characteristics & Buyer Appeal
This two-storey home in Betsworth is defined by its generous proportions and established presence. Built in 1985, it sits on a large, approximately 12,550 sqft lot and offers over 2,500 sqft of living space, including a finished basement. Its standout feature is its considerable size, which ranks it in the top 3-5% of homes in its immediate area and across Winnipeg for square footage. This is complemented by a high assessed value, indicating above-average market recognition for the property.
The appeal lies in the space and privacy afforded by both the large home and the sizable lot, which is increasingly rare in newer subdivisions. It’s a home that doesn’t require compromise on room to grow, work, or entertain. While not a new build, its rankings show it remains competitive within its vintage, outperforming a majority of similar-aged homes in the city.
This property would best suit a buyer looking for an established, spacious family home in a mature neighbourhood. It’s ideal for those who prioritize interior and exterior space over a brand-new construction and who may see value in a home with proven, long-term stability in its assessment and neighbourhood standing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: The home is 41 years old. What should I be mindful of?
A: While the home ranks well for its age, a key focus should be on the major systems (roof, windows, furnace, etc.) and their update history. The large lot is a great asset, but mature trees may also require consideration for maintenance.
Q: How meaningful are the provided rankings?
A: They are a useful, at-a-glance benchmark. This home consistently ranks in the top tier for size and value in every category (street, community, city), which is uncommon and speaks to its substantial footprint and perceived worth relative to the market.
Q: Is the finished basement included in the listed living area?
A: Typically, the listed living area (2,570 sqft) refers to above-grade space. The finished basement provides additional living area but is separate from that official figure, adding to the home’s total usable space.
Q: What does the high assessed value relative to the neighbourhood indicate?
A: It generally reflects that the property’s attributes—like its large lot and home size—are formally recognized as adding significant value compared to other homes in the area, which can be a positive factor for equity and resale.
Q: The lot is large, but how is the outdoor space configured?
A: The details don’t specify the layout (e.g., backyard depth, frontage, landscaping). A key next step would be to view the street imagery and determine the lot’s shape, orientation, and how the space is practically organized for use and privacy.
