846 Elmhurst Road

Property Overview & Appeal

This 1972-built, one-storey home sits on a large, 8,639 sqft lot in Elmhurst. Its key characteristics include a fully finished basement, a split garage, and 1,335 sqft of living space. The appeal lies in its generous, above-average lot size—which ranks in the top 9% of Winnipeg—offering significant outdoor space and potential in a mature neighbourhood. The home presents a solid, move-in-ready foundation with room for personal updates.

It would suit practical buyers looking for a single-level layout, first-time homeowners seeking a property with a substantial yard, or long-term residents valuing space over a newer build. It’s a home for those who see value in land size and established communities, and who are comfortable with a property that has a functional, older character rather than modern finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the ranking data actually mean?
The rankings show how this property compares to others in the immediate area. For example, its lot size is larger than 91% of homes in Winnipeg, indicating a standout feature, while its build year is newer than only 51% of city homes, confirming it as an older, mature property.

2. Is the finished basement included in the 1,335 sqft living area?
Typically, the listed living area (1,335 sqft) refers to above-grade space. The finished basement is an additional area, adding functional square footage like a rec room or extra bedrooms not reflected in that main figure.

3. What are the implications of a "split" garage?
A split garage typically means two separate single-car garage doors, as opposed to one wider door. This can be a benefit for accessing storage or workspace on one side without moving a vehicle, but may feel tighter for larger modern vehicles.

4. The community rank for build year is lower than for lot size. What does this suggest?
This suggests the immediate neighbourhood has a mix of older homes like this one and newer constructions. You’re buying into a mature streetscape with established trees and character, not a recently developed subdivision.

5. How should I interpret the assessment value in relation to the asking price?
The municipal assessment ($383,000) is for tax purposes and reflects a mass-appraisal formula. It’s a data point indicating the home’s perceived value by the city, but the market price is determined by current sales, condition, and buyer demand.
