Property Overview: 259 Wynford Drive, Canterbury Park

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a compact, one-storey home built in 1978, situated on a standard-sized lot in Canterbury Park. Its key feature is a renovated basement, adding valuable finished space to the 900 sqft main floor living area. The home presents a practical, low-maintenance profile with no garage or pool.

The appeal lies in its affordability and efficiency. With an assessed value significantly below both neighbourhood and city averages, it represents an accessible entry point into the Winnipeg market. The renovated basement offers immediate utility without the need for initial projects. While the living space is modest compared to broader averages, it ranks as average for Wynford Drive itself, suggesting it fits the scale of the immediate area.

This property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a straightforward, cost-effective home. It’s ideal for someone who values a renovated interior space over larger lot sizes or newer construction, and who prefers a predictable, lower tax assessment. A thoughtful perspective is that its older build year (1978) is actually the newest on its street, offering a relative advantage in that micro-location despite being older than many homes in the wider Canterbury Park area.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the lot size a disadvantage?
While the 3,080 sqft lot is below average for Canterbury Park and Winnipeg overall, it is near the average for Wynford Drive itself. This means yard maintenance is manageable, which can be a positive for buyers seeking a lower-maintenance property.

2. What does "renovated basement" typically mean here?
Given the home's age and value positioning, the renovation likely focused on creating clean, functional living or utility space. It’s advisable to confirm the scope, permits, and finish quality to understand its exact condition and contribution to the living area.

3. How does the assessed value compare to the last sale price?
The home was last sold in July 2017 for $20,800. The current assessed value is $26,900. This increase reflects municipal assessment changes over seven years and does not directly predict the current market sale price.

4. With no garage, what are the parking options?
The listing indicates no garage. Buyers should verify the availability of a dedicated driveway or on-street parking permits during a viewing, as this is a key practical consideration.

5. How does the age of the home affect its value?
The 1978 build date is a mix: it's newer than most on its specific street, but older than the average home in Canterbury Park. This suggests major components like the roof, windows, or furnace may be due for updates, which is reflected in the home’s below-average assessed value for the neighbourhood.
