Highlights & common questions: 81 Crowson Bay, Winnipeg

Property Overview

81 Crowson Bay is a well-situated one-storey home in Winnipeg's Crescent Park neighbourhood. Built in 1954, it sits on a generous 6,540 sqft lot, which is notably larger than most city-wide properties. The home itself is a modest 1,099 sqft in living area and features a renovated basement and a detached garage. It last sold in October 2020 for $310,000.

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This property’s primary appeal lies in its land and location. The lot size is a significant asset, ranking in the top quarter city-wide, offering ample outdoor space that is increasingly rare. The renovated basement adds functional living space, a valuable update for a home of this era. Its assessed value is consistent with the local area, suggesting a stable, established neighbourhood.

It would suit a buyer looking for a solid foundation in a mature community—someone who values private outdoor space over a large interior footprint. It's a practical choice for a first-time buyer, a downsizer, or an investor seeking a property where the land represents a substantial portion of the value. The smaller main floor may appeal to those seeking single-level living, with the basement providing flexible space for a family room, home office, or guest suite.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare to newer subdivisions?
The 6,540 sqft lot is substantially larger than the standard lots found in many modern developments, offering more privacy and room for gardens, play areas, or expansions.

2. What does "renovated basement" typically mean for a 1954 home?
While specifics should be verified, this usually indicates updated finishes and likely addressed foundational issues like moisture control or insulation, adding valuable, comfortable living space.

3. Is the detached garage a pro or a con?
It depends on preference. It provides secure storage and workshop space but requires going outdoors in winter. Some see it as a classic feature with charm, while others would prefer an attached garage.

4. The living area is noted as below average for the street. How impactful is this?
It highlights that this is a cosier home on a great street. For buyers who prioritize lot size and location over square footage, this is a fair trade-off. It may also mean a relatively lower utility cost for heating and cooling.

5. The home sold in 2020. What can that price tell me?
The $310,000 sale price provides a recent benchmark, but the market has shifted since. It’s most useful for understanding the property’s historical value trajectory rather than determining its current price.
