Property Overview: 685 Elmhurst Road
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-situated one-storey home in Elmhurst offers a classic and practical living arrangement on a large, 8,152 sqft lot. Its key appeal lies in the combination of generous outdoor space and a functional, single-level layout. With 1,327 sqft of living space and a finished basement, it provides ample room for a growing family or those who appreciate having separate areas for living and recreation.
The property’s standout feature is its land size, which ranks in the top 11% across Winnipeg, offering significant potential for gardening, play, or future expansion. While the home itself is from 1968, its overall size ranks solidly above average for its street and the city. The recent sale history suggests a stable market value.
This home would suit buyers looking for a true bungalow with a low-maintenance exterior footprint but a desire for a sizable yard. It’s ideal for families, downsizers seeking single-level living without sacrificing lot size, or value-oriented buyers who see potential in the existing structure and the premium lot. A thoughtful perspective is that this property offers a "blank canvas" opportunity—the large lot and functional floor plan provide a foundation that can be personalized or gradually improved over time, rather than requiring immediate, costly updates.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the neighbourhood like?
Elmhurst is a mature, established neighbourhood in Winnipeg. The property's rankings show it outperforms 76% of homes in its community for lot size, indicating it's among the larger properties in a desirable area known for its character and greenery.
2. Is the basement a legal suite?
The listing notes the basement is finished but does not specify it as a legal secondary suite. Buyers interested in rental income should investigate the current layout and necessary permits with the city.
3. How does the 1968 build year affect the home?
While the home is older, its assessed and recent sale values are competitive. Prospective buyers should prioritize a thorough inspection to understand the condition of major systems like plumbing, electrical, and the roof, which are typical focal points for homes of this era.
4. There's no garage. What are the parking options?
The property has no garage, which is common for many older bungalows. The large lot may offer space for driveway expansion or the future addition of a garage or carport, subject to local bylaws.
5. The home ranks lower for "newness" in its community. Should I be concerned?
This ranking reflects the mature nature of the Elmhurst area, where many homes are of a similar vintage. It doesn't necessarily indicate condition. Instead, it highlights an opportunity to own a character home in a sought-after, established neighbourhood, often prized for its tree-lined streets and settled feel.
