Highlights & common questions: 526 Cathcart Street, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This 1973-built, one-storey home in Elmhurst offers a practical and private living arrangement on a large, mature lot. Its key appeal lies in the combination of a fully finished basement, a split garage, and a generous 7,196 sqft property that provides ample outdoor space—a notable advantage in the city. The home’s 988 sqft main floor is compact, suggesting efficient and manageable living spaces.

The property’s strength is its land value and established location. It ranks highly within Winnipeg for lot size (top 16%), indicating a premium on outdoor privacy and potential. It would suit a first-time buyer looking for a solid starter home with room to grow outdoors, a downsizer seeking single-level living without sacrificing yard space, or an investor attracted by the below-average assessed value relative to the sizable lot. Its charm is more functional than flashy, offering a grounded opportunity in a mature neighbourhood.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the home’s size compare to others in the area?
The 988 sqft living area is more compact than most homes in the immediate neighbourhood and across Winnipeg, ranking in the bottom 30% locally. This indicates a focus on efficient use of space rather than expansive square footage.

2. What do the ranking percentages actually mean for a buyer?
They show the property’s competitive standing. For example, ranking in the top 16% in Winnipeg for lot size is a significant asset, while the newer rankings suggest the house itself is older than many in its community. It highlights a property where the land may be a greater driver of value than the building.

3. Is the fully finished basement included in the listed living area?
No. The 988 sqft figure refers to the above-ground living area only. The presence of a fully finished basement adds additional, usable space that is not reflected in that main square footage number.

4. The assessed value seems moderate. Is that typical for Elmhurst?
The assessment ranks near the middle for Winnipeg but is lower than about 87% of properties in the Elmhurst community itself. This could reflect the home’s more modest size and age within a neighbourhood that may have larger or more updated homes, presenting a potentially more accessible entry point into the area.

5. What is the practical benefit of a split garage?
A split garage (typically a two-car garage separated by a wall) offers flexibility. It can be used to securely separate vehicles from workshop or storage areas, or even to create a dedicated space for a smaller vehicle or lawn equipment, adding organizational utility beyond standard parking.
