Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the property's value compare to the area?
The home’s assessed value ranks above average compared to similar properties on Bertrand Street and within Central St. Boniface, suggesting it is a competitively valued asset in its immediate locale.

2. Is the lot size a pro or a con?
It’s typical. At just over 4,100 sq ft, the lot is very standard for the street and neighbourhood. It offers adequate outdoor space without the extensive maintenance of a larger yard, which can be a positive for those seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle.

3. What does the "renovated basement" likely mean for a home of this age?
While specifics aren’t listed, in a 1957 home, a renovated basement often indicates updated finishes and likely addresses foundational concerns like moisture control or insulation. It adds immediate functional living or storage space, which is a significant asset given the modest main-floor square footage.

4. The home is older than many on its street. Should I be concerned?
Paradoxically, the data shows its 1957 build date is actually newer than most homes on Bertrand Street and in central St. Boniface, where average build years are 1936 and 1939 respectively. While systems will need monitoring, it is a relatively newer home in a historic area.

5. Who might this property NOT suit?
Buyers needing significant main-floor living space or multiple bedrooms may find the layout limiting. Those seeking a modern, open-concept design or a large, sprawling yard would likely want to consider newer subdivisions.
