3 Avril Lane

Property Overview

This two-storey home on a quiet, established street in Elmhurst offers a practical and comfortable living space. Built in 1984, its key appeal lies in its balance of generous lot size, functional layout, and a location within a mature neighbourhood. With over 1,800 square feet of finished living space, a developed basement, and an attached garage, it provides the room needed for a growing family or those who appreciate dedicated space for hobbies and storage. The lot, at just under 5,200 square feet, is notably larger than many in the area, offering good outdoor potential.

Its value is underscored by strong rankings in key metrics: it’s newer than most homes on its street and in Winnipeg overall, and its living area is larger than the majority of homes city-wide. The home would suit buyers looking for a move-in ready property in a no-fuss neighbourhood, who prioritize indoor and outdoor space over brand-new construction. It’s a solid choice for those who see value in a home that has been part of a community for decades, offering established gardens and trees, and who are comfortable with the maintenance that comes with a property of this age.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the property’s value compare to its neighbours?
The home’s assessed value is higher than about 61% of properties in the broader Elmhurst community, placing it in the top 39%. On its specific street, it ranks in the top 69%, suggesting it is priced in line with or slightly above many immediate neighbours.

2. Is the lot size a significant feature?
Yes. At 5,197 sqft, the land area is a standout, ranking in the top 25% on its street. This provides more private outdoor space than many comparable homes, which is a valuable asset in mature neighbourhoods where lots are often smaller.

3. What should I consider about the home’s age?
Built in 1984, the home is newer than roughly two-thirds of Winnipeg’s housing stock. While major systems like the roof, windows, or furnace may have been updated, a pre-purchase inspection is recommended to assess the condition of these age-appropriate components.

4. How does the living space compare to the neighbourhood?
With 1,803 sqft of finished space, the home is more spacious than 75% of homes in Elmhurst and 85% of homes across Winnipeg. This indicates above-average room for a family, especially when combined with the developed basement.

5. The community ranking for "size" seems low. Why is that?
The home ranks in the top 87% for lot size within Elmhurst (meaning only 13% of lots are larger). This specific metric highlights that while the lot is generous on its own street, the broader Elmhurst community contains some very large properties, which is a positive reflection on the neighbourhood’s overall character.
