Highlights & common questions: 159 Kennington Bay, Winnipeg

Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This 1986 bi-level home at 159 Kennington Bay in Winnipeg's Dakota Crossing neighbourhood presents a practical and straightforward living option. With 1,013 sqft of living space and a renovated basement, it offers functional space for a small household. The property sits on a 4,799 sqft lot, which is notably above average for its immediate street, providing decent outdoor space relative to its peers.

Its primary appeal lies in its value proposition and established location. The home's assessed value is modest and sits around the average for its street and the wider city, suggesting a manageable entry point into the market. The data indicates it's a home that doesn't stand out in size or assessed value within its broader area, but holds its own on its specific street—a sign of a stable, consistent micro-market. The renovated basement adds modern livable space without the need for immediate work.

This property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a no-fuss, affordable home in an established neighbourhood. It’s for those who prioritize a sensible financial footprint over premium features, and who might appreciate having a lot size that’s generous for the street, offering a bit more privacy or garden potential than the neighbours.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare in size to others nearby?
At 1,013 sqft, the living area is slightly below the average for both the Dakota Crossing area and Winnipeg overall, but is very close to the average for homes directly on Kennington Bay.

2. Is the assessed value typical for this area?
Yes. The home’s assessed value is almost identical to the street average and is considered around average city-wide, though it is below the average for the larger Dakota Crossing area.

3. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the finishes or layout. This is a key detail to clarify with the listing agent to understand the quality and functionality of the space.

4. How does the lot size compare?
The 4,799 sqft lot is a positive feature, ranking above average for Kennington Bay itself. This means you likely have more yard space than many direct neighbours, even if it's around the middle of the pack for the city.

5. The home last sold in late 2022. What does that mean?
The sale two years ago suggests the current owners have had a relatively short tenure. It’s wise to inquire about their reason for moving to understand if there are any less-obvious factors about the property or location influencing the sale.
