Property Overview: 496 John Forsyth Road
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home in Dakota Crossing presents a compelling mix of modern living space and established neighborhood character. Its primary appeal lies in its above-average, recently renovated living area (1,648 sq ft) and its notably newer construction year (2004), making it one of the most contemporary homes on its street. The detached garage and renovated basement add practical value. The assessed value ranks well above average for the immediate area, suggesting a solid perception of worth.
The property is ideally suited for buyers seeking a move-in ready home with more modern systems and finishes than typical for the area, without requiring a full renovation. It fits those who prioritize interior space over a large yard, as the land area is more compact compared to local and city-wide averages. This could appeal to professionals, small families, or anyone looking for low-maintenance outdoor space while still enjoying generous indoor square footage.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s size compare to others nearby?
At 1,648 sq ft, the living area is significantly larger than the average home on John Forsyth Road (Top 6%) and is above the city-wide average, offering more interior space than most comparable properties.
2. Is the home older or newer for this neighborhood?
Built in 2004, it is a much newer home relative to its immediate street (ranking in the Top 1%) and is above average for both the Dakota Crossing area and Winnipeg overall. This often means newer major components like roofing, windows, and HVAC.
3. What is the property’s lot size?
The lot is 3,949 sq ft, which is below the average for both the local area and the city. This translates to a more manageable yard with less maintenance but less private outdoor space than some older properties.
4. How does the assessed value context inform the asking price?
