Property Summary: 861 Laxdal Road, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1972-built, single-storey home sits on a generous 7,175 sqft lot in Elmhurst. Its key characteristics include a fully finished basement and a modest 946 sqft of living space. The property lacks a garage or pool. Its appeal lies in its established, low-maintenance footprint and significant lot size, offering room for gardening, play, or future expansion. The home ranks highly for its newer construction relative to its immediate street and boasts a very competitive position city-wide for lot size, placing in the top 16% of Winnipeg.
This property would best suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or practical investors seeking an entry into the market with a solid land base. It’s for those who value outdoor space over extensive indoor square footage and are comfortable with a home that offers functional living without excess. A thoughtful perspective is that while the interior space is compact, the favourable lot-size ranking suggests the underlying land value is a strong component of the property’s worth, which could be appealing for long-term hold strategies.
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 or age). A higher percentage (e.g., "top 16%") means it outperforms most peers in that category.
2. The living space seems small. Is the layout efficient?
While the 946 sqft living area is below average for the community, the presence of a fully finished basement effectively doubles the usable space, which is a critical factor to consider during a viewing.
3. What does the assessment value mean for the listing price?
The municipal assessment of $339,000 is a tax valuation from a prior date and serves as a benchmark. The listing price is set by the seller and the current market, which may be higher or lower than this assessed value.
4. There's no garage. Is there space for parking or adding one?
The large lot provides ample off-street parking potential. The lot size also creates a realistic opportunity to add a garage or carport in the future, subject to municipal permits and zoning.
5. The home is over 50 years old. What should I be mindful of?
While the home ranks as newer on its street, a professional inspection for major systems (roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical) common to homes of this era is essential. The recent data shows updates can vary significantly from house to house.
