This is a 1,740-square-foot home built in 1953, located on Academy Road in Winnipeg’s Crescentwood area. The property sits on a notably large 14,837-square-foot lot—among the top 2% citywide and top 4% in the neighbourhood. The living area is slightly below the local average but above the citywide median, placing it in the top 19% of homes across Winnipeg. The assessed value of $524,000 is also above average relative to the city, though slightly below the Crescentwood median.
The core appeal here is the land. In a prestigious, established neighbourhood like Crescentwood, a lot of this size is rare. Many homes on similar streets are older and sit on smaller parcels. This property offers the potential for expansion, renovation, or possibly redevelopment—though any changes would need to align with local zoning and heritage considerations. The location on Academy Road provides walkable access to shops, restaurants, and transit, while still being in a leafy residential area.
This home would suit a buyer who values location and lot size over move-in-ready finishes. It's a solid candidate for someone looking to renovate or rebuild, or for a family who wants a spacious yard in a central Winnipeg neighbourhood without the premium of a fully updated house. It may be less ideal for someone seeking a turnkey property or a home with modern square footage comparable to neighbouring houses.
1. Is the living area smaller than other homes on the street?
Yes. At 1,740 square feet, it is below the Academy Road average of 1,864 and the Crescentwood average of 2,353. However, it ranks in the top 19% citywide, so it is not small by Winnipeg standards—just modest for this specific area.
2. What is the potential for adding onto the house or building a secondary suite?
The 14,837-square-foot lot offers considerable flexibility, but any additions or suites would depend on current zoning, setback requirements, and possibly heritage district rules in Crescentwood. A buyer should verify with the City of Winnipeg before planning significant changes.
3. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes?
At $524,000, the assessed value is above average for Academy Road and the city, but below the Crescentwood median of $590,800. This suggests the home may be priced relatively affordably for the neighbourhood, largely due to its smaller living area and older construction.
4. What condition is the house in, given it was built in 1953?
The summary doesn’t include specific condition details. A 1953 home typically needs updated systems (plumbing, electrical, insulation, windows) and may have original finishes. A thorough inspection is recommended, especially for foundations and roofs on older Winnipeg homes.
5. Is this a good investment property?
For a buyer willing to renovate or hold for land appreciation, yes. The large lot in a top-ranked area (top 2% citywide) is a strong long-term asset. However, the home itself may not generate premium rental income without significant updates. It’s more suited to owner-occupiers or developers than passive investors.
