Property Overview & Appeal

This 1972 one-storey home in Elmhurst sits on a generous 7,061 sqft lot, offering space and privacy that is increasingly rare. Its key characteristic is a well-balanced, grounded profile: it features a finished basement, a detached garage, and ranks highly for its lot size, placing it above average in its neighborhood and city-wide. The appeal lies in its unpretentious functionality and the significant potential of its large parcel of land. It suits practical buyers looking for a solid starter home or a long-term hold, particularly those who value outdoor space for gardening, recreation, or future expansion over a large interior footprint. A thoughtful perspective is that while the living area is modest, the excellent lot ranking suggests the property's true long-term value may be more in the land itself, offering options that a newer, densely-packed subdivision cannot.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the "ranking" system work?
The rankings compare this property against others on its street, in Elmhurst, and across all of Winnipeg for specific metrics like lot size and assessed value. For example, being in the top 17% city-wide for lot size means it has a larger lot than 83% of Winnipeg properties, a significant advantage.

2. The living area is noted as modest. How does the finished basement factor in?
The finished basement adds usable living space that isn't reflected in the official 945 sqft living area figure. This effectively increases the functional footprint of the home for daily life, storage, or recreation.

3. What does the assessment value tell us about the price?
The municipal assessment of $358,000 is used for calculating property taxes and provides a benchmark. Market value can differ based on condition, updates, and market trends, but an assessment near the city's median suggests a stable, middle-market property.

4. Is the 1972 build year a concern?
While the home is not new, its building age ranks in the middle range for the city. This typically indicates well-established infrastructure and mature landscaping. A pre-purchase inspection is always advised to understand the condition of major systems like roof, wiring, and plumbing specific to this era.

5. Who would this property not suit?
It may not suit buyers seeking a modern, open-concept layout or those unwilling to consider updates over time. The home's layout and style are characteristic of its era, appealing to those who appreciate its straightforward layout and see potential rather than expecting move-in perfection.
