Property Overview
779 Elmhurst Road is a distinctive one-storey home that stands out for its generous scale and private, park-like setting. Its primary appeal lies in the rare combination of a very large, 4,429 sqft living space on an expansive, nearly 16,000 sqft lot, complete with a swimming pool. This isn't just a large house; it's a property that ranks in the top 2% of all Winnipeg homes by size, offering exceptional room for living, entertaining, and future customization. The appeal is for buyers seeking a project with tremendous potential—a solid, spacious foundation in a mature neighbourhood where the value is firmly rooted in the land and the existing structure's ample footprint. It would best suit a buyer with vision, perhaps a multi-generational family needing significant space, or someone looking for a long-term home where they can tailor the unfinished basement and potentially update the interiors to their own taste over time. A less obvious perspective is that a property of this scale, built in 1969, offers a canvas for energy-efficient retrofits and modernizations that could transform it into a contemporary, highly sustainable estate.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "unfinished basement" entail?
The home has a full basement that is not currently developed. This represents significant additional potential living space (beyond the already substantial 4,429 sqft main floor) for future rec rooms, home theatres, suites, or storage, but will require investment to finish.
2. How does the 1969 build year affect the property?
Built 57 years ago, the home is older than most in its immediate community (ranking in the top 89% for age, meaning it's among the older homes). Buyers should budget for updates to major aging components like the roof, windows, plumbing, or electrical systems, and see the era as offering classic, solid construction with room for modernization.
3. The lot is huge, but what does that mean practically?
At nearly 16,000 sqft, the lot is a major asset. It provides exceptional privacy, space for the pool, extensive gardening, outdoor recreation, and potential additions like a large shed or garage. It also places the property in the top 5% for lot size on its street, ensuring a lasting sense of space.
4. The value rankings seem high—what do they indicate?
The property consistently ranks in the top 3-5% of its street, neighbourhood, and city for both lot size and total living area. This confirms it is a true outlier in terms of physical scale and proportion, which is a key driver of its assessed value and market position.
5. Is the pool a benefit or a burden?
This depends on the buyer. The in-ground pool is a premium amenity for summer enjoyment and entertaining, adding a resort-like feel to the large yard. However, it requires seasonal maintenance, carries ongoing costs for opening/closing and chemicals, and impacts insurance. It's a desirable feature for the right lifestyle.
