Property Overview: 78 Sundial Crescent, Dakota Crossing, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1987 bi-level home at 78 Sundial Crescent presents a practical and affordable entry point into Winnipeg’s Dakota Crossing neighbourhood. Its key characteristic is its compact and efficient scale, with 680 sqft of living space and a renovated basement on a 3,148 sqft lot. The data reveals a clear narrative: this home sits below the average size and assessed value for its immediate street and neighbourhood, yet its city-wide assessed value ranking is solidly average. This suggests its value is anchored more in its location and functionality than in its square footage.
The primary appeal lies in its affordability and manageability. It suits first-time buyers seeking a foothold in the market with lower carrying costs, or downsizers looking to reduce maintenance and space without leaving the area. The renovated basement adds functional living space, a significant plus for a home of this size. A thoughtful perspective is that a smaller, well-placed home like this can offer financial flexibility—freeing up income for other priorities compared to a larger mortgage payment. It’s a property for those who value location and simplicity over sheer space.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this home too small compared to others in the area?
Yes, the living area is below average for both Sundial Crescent and the wider Dakota Crossing neighbourhood. This is reflected in its price and is the defining feature of the property. Buyers should be comfortable with a compact, efficient layout.
2. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the last sale price?
The home sold for $280,000 in November 2020. The current assessed value of $32,900 is for municipal tax purposes only and is not an indicator of market value. Market value is determined by recent sales of comparable properties.
3. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms a renovated basement but does not specify the finishes or layout. This is a key detail to clarify with the listing agent to understand the home’s full living space and quality of updates.
4. How does not having a garage impact daily life here?
The property has no garage. Buyers should consider street parking availability, winter vehicle management, and storage solutions for tools and seasonal items.
5. The lot is smaller than average. Is there still usable outdoor space?
With just over 3,000 sqft, the yard is compact but present. It’s manageable for minimal maintenance and could suit a small patio or garden, but not expansive recreational space.
