Property Overview: 859 Elmhurst Road

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a well-established, two-storey family home in Winnipeg's Elmhurst neighborhood, built in 1954. Its primary appeal lies in its generous proportions and mature setting. The nearly 8,400 sqft lot is significantly larger than average, offering substantial outdoor space, while the 1,819 sqft of living area provides ample room inside, further enhanced by a finished basement. The home's rankings highlight its strengths: it sits in the top 10% of Winnipeg for lot size and the top 15% for living area, suggesting a property that feels more spacious than many contemporary offerings.

Its appeal is for the practical buyer who values space, established communities, and solid value over new construction. It suits a family looking for room to grow, garden, or play, or a buyer seeking a home with classic character and the potential to personalize. A less obvious perspective is that a home of this vintage and size on a large lot represents a diminishing inventory—it’s a tangible asset in a neighborhood that is already fully developed. While the 1954 build date means systems and structure require due diligence, it also often comes with a robustness of construction and mature landscaping that newer builds can't immediately offer.

Potential Buyer FAQs

  1. What does the "finished basement" include?
    The listing notes a finished basement, but specifics on layout, ceiling height, permits, and moisture control are key details to investigate with the seller or an inspection.

  2. How does the 1954 construction date affect the home?
    While the structure is likely solid, a buyer should budget for and prioritize inspections of major systems common to the era, such as plumbing, electrical wiring, and the foundation. Updated insulation and windows would also be a significant plus.

  3. The lot is large, but how is it configured?
    A nearly 8,400 sqft lot is a major asset. Understanding its shape, orientation for sun, backyard privacy, and any easements or mature trees that affect usability is important for envisioning its potential.

  4. What is the neighborhood character and convenience like?
    Elmhurst is a mature area. Prospective buyers should explore local amenities, schools, and traffic patterns to gauge daily convenience. The high "within community" rankings suggest it's among the larger, more valuable homes in the immediate area.

  5. The assessed value is $475,000. How should we view this?
    Municipal assessments are for tax purposes and can lag behind the current market. It's a useful data point indicating the home is valued above most in Winnipeg, but the final sale price will be determined by market conditions, the home's specific condition, and buyer demand.
