Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This 1969 four-level split home on Community Row in Betsworth offers a rare combination of generous space and established privacy. Its primary appeal lies in its substantial 17,991 sqft lot, which places it in the top 2% of all Winnipeg properties for land size, providing exceptional outdoor potential and a sense of seclusion within the city. The 2,457 sqft of finished living space is also well above average, ranking in the top 3% locally. The home features a finished basement and a split garage.

The property suits buyers prioritizing land over a newer build, ideal for those seeking room for gardens, recreation, or future expansion. It's a match for families or multi-generational households needing ample interior space, or for value-conscious buyers looking for a property with strong foundational equity in land, willing to update the interior to their taste. A thoughtful perspective is that while the structure is from 1969, the extraordinary lot size is irreplaceable in today's market, making it a long-term investment in location and space that newer subdivisions rarely offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the "ranking" data mean?
The rankings compare this property against others on its street, in Betsworth, and across all of Winnipeg for specific metrics. For example, being in the "top 2%" for land size in Winnipeg means 98% of properties have a smaller lot, highlighting its standout characteristic.

2. Is the house outdated given its 1969 build year?
The rankings show it's newer than 47% of Winnipeg homes, so it's mid-range for age. The value here is in the land and the square footage. Buyers should budget for updates consistent with a home of this era, but the finished basement and generous layout provide an excellent canvas.

3. How does such a large lot impact maintenance?
A nearly 18,000 sqft lot offers wonderful space but requires more time or investment for lawn care, gardening, and landscaping compared to a standard lot. It's a benefit for those who enjoy outdoor projects or privacy, but a consideration for those seeking low-maintenance yard.

4. What is a "4 Level Split" layout?
This style typically features multiple short flights of stairs creating four distinct levels, offering good separation between living and sleeping areas. It can provide flexible space for families but involves more stairs than a bungalow or two-story home.

5. Why is the assessed value higher than the community average?
The $541,000 assessment reflects the property's two strongest assets: its very high square footage and, most significantly, its extremely large lot size. Assessors value the land highly, which boosts the total assessment well above homes with average-sized lots in the area.
