Property Overview: 538 Des Meurons Street, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a notably modern and spacious two-storey home in Central St. Boniface, built in 2023. Its key characteristic is its significant size, offering over 2,360 square feet of living space, which ranks it among the largest homes in the immediate area. The property sits on a standard city lot and includes a renovated basement. There is no garage or pool.
The appeal lies in the rare combination of a brand-new, low-maintenance build within a mature, historic neighbourhood. You get the modern floor plan, energy efficiency, and contemporary finishes of a new house while being rooted in the established charm and convenience of St. Boniface. The renovated basement adds immediate functional space.
This home would best suit buyers who prioritize modern living and ample interior space but want to avoid a suburban subdivision. It’s ideal for a professional or a growing family seeking a turnkey property in a walkable, culturally rich community. The price point reflects its premium status as a new construction in an older area, so it suits buyers for whom this specific blend is a priority over a larger yard or garage.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the assessed value of $80,100 accurate?
Yes, that is the official municipal assessment for taxation purposes. It is important to note that this figure is not an indicator of market value. The home sold for $1M in late 2023, which reflects its actual market price as a new, high-specification build.
2. How does the lot size compare?
At just over 4,150 sq. ft., the land area is fairly typical for Central St. Boniface but is below the citywide average. The value here is in the new, large structure on a standard lot, not in extensive outdoor space.
3. What does the "Elite" ranking for Year Built mean?
This statistical ranking highlights how uncommon a 2023 build is in this context. On its street and in the broader neighbourhood, the average home was built in the late 1930s. This home is a genuine outlier in terms of its age, offering a very different ownership experience than the surrounding historic properties.
4. Who might this property not suit?
Buyers seeking a classic character home with original details, those who require a garage or extensive private outdoor space, or investors/buyers focused solely on the lowest price per square foot in the area may find better options elsewhere.
5. What is the broader neighbourhood context?
Des Meurons Street is a main artery. While offering excellent access to amenities, this location may involve more traffic noise and less secluded curb appeal compared to a quiet side street. The trade-off is unparalleled convenience to St. Boniface's shops, restaurants, and cultural institutions.
