Property Overview: 149 Buxton Road, Crescent Park, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-situated one-storey home in Crescent Park is defined by a rare and valuable combination: a spacious, modernized interior on an exceptionally large lot. With 1,533 sqft of living space, it sits comfortably above average for the neighbourhood and city, offering ample room. A key feature is the renovated basement, adding functional living area. The home’s standout attribute is its 11,674 sqft lot, which places it in the top 2-4% of properties locally and citywide for land size. This presents a major opportunity for gardening, expansion, or simply enjoying generous private outdoor space—a rarity in the city.

Its appeal lies in this balance of updated living space and significant land value. While the house itself is from 1953, its above-average assessed value suggests solid upkeep and desirability. It would suit buyers looking for a move-in-ready home with the bonus of a premium-sized yard—perfect for families, those who enjoy entertaining outdoors, or long-term buyers who value land as a key investment. It’s a property where the true value is as much in the ground it sits on as in the renovated living spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare to a typical Winnipeg property?
The lot is exceptionally large at over 11,600 sqft. For perspective, the average comparable lot in Winnipeg is about 6,570 sqft, making this property’s land area roughly 77% larger than the norm.

2. Is the basement renovation reflected in the assessment?
The home’s assessed value is in the top 25% for Crescent Park and top 14% for its immediate street, which is notably high. This strong assessment likely accounts for the renovated basement and overall condition, suggesting official recognition of the upgrades.

3. What is the neighbourhood context for this property?
The data shows this home ranks above average in both living area and assessed value within Crescent Park. It sits among other well-valued properties, indicating a stable, established neighbourhood where this home is a competitive offering.

4. The house was built in 1953. What should I consider?
While the structure is over 70 years old, the renovated basement and strong assessment indicate modernization. Prospective buyers should focus verification on the condition of core elements typical for the era, such as the roof, plumbing, and electrical systems, beyond the renovated spaces.

5. The last sale was in mid-2023. What does that indicate?
The sale just over a year ago suggests a relatively quick turnaround. It’s advisable to understand the context of that sale (e.g., estate, relocation) through your agent, as it may not reflect typical market holding periods and could represent a unique opportunity.
