Highlights & common questions: 598 Cathcart Street, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This 1970-built, one-and-a-half storey home in Elmhurst offers a blend of space, privacy, and established charm. Its key appeal lies in its generous 7,198 sqft lot, providing ample outdoor space that surpasses 85% of Winnipeg properties. The home itself is spacious, with 1,612 sqft of living area ranking in the top 22% citywide. A notable feature is the in-ground swimming pool, a rare find that creates a private recreational oasis. The home suits buyers looking for a long-term family home with room to grow, garden, or entertain, and who value the mature character of the Elmhurst neighborhood. It’s particularly well-suited for those who prioritize expansive outdoor living over a garage and are comfortable with a home of classic vintage that may benefit from personal updates over time. A thoughtful perspective is that while the build year is older, the above-average lot and living space offer a solid foundation; the value here is in the land and the potential to shape both the house and gardens to a new owner's vision.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does "one-and-a-half storey" typically mean for this style of home?
This style usually features a main floor with primary living spaces and a second floor with sloped ceilings, often housing bedrooms. It combines the layout of a bungalow with additional, cozier upper-level space.

2. The basement is listed as "unfinished." What are the implications?
An unfinished basement provides essential utility space and significant storage but is not configured as livable rooms. It represents both a blank canvas for future development and a current cost savings compared to a finished home.

3. How significant is the lack of a garage?
The property does not include a garage. Buyers should plan for street parking or consider the cost and feasibility of adding a driveway and a garage or shed in the future, balanced against the benefit of the large, unused lot space.

4. The home ranks highly for size but lower for age. What should I consider?
This indicates you are getting a spacious home on a large lot, but it is older than many in the area. Prioritize a thorough inspection to understand the condition of major systems (roof, plumbing, electrical) which may be original or updated.

5. What is the realistic value of the high lot size ranking?
Ranking in the top 15% for lot size in Winnipeg is a major asset. It offers privacy, space for activities, gardens, or expansions, and typically holds value well. It's a feature that is increasingly difficult to find in established city neighborhoods.
