Property Overview
This is a well-established, single-storey home in Winnipeg's Eric Coy neighbourhood, built in 1970. Its most defining feature is the exceptionally large, half-acre lot (21,763 sqft), which places it in the top 1% of properties in Winnipeg for land size. The home itself offers 1,209 sqft of living space with a finished basement and a detached garage. While the house is of average size for the area and reflects its 1970s build date, its true value lies in the rare scale of its private outdoor space within the city.
Key Characteristics & Appeal
The primary appeal of 608 Fairmont Road is its extraordinary land. A lot of this size offers unparalleled potential for gardening, recreation, family play, or future expansion (subject to bylaws), a rarity in an urban setting. The home provides solid, move-in-ready fundamentals with a finished basement adding functional living space. Its competitive rankings suggest it outperforms most homes in the city for lot size, while being more average in terms of building age, size, and assessed value.
This property would perfectly suit buyers who prioritize private outdoor space over a large or modern house. It's ideal for gardeners, families seeking a safe and expansive backyard, or those looking for a property with long-term redevelopment potential. It also represents a unique opportunity to own a "country-sized" lot within city limits, offering a sense of space and tranquility that is increasingly hard to find.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the true draw of this property?
While the house is a comfortable bungalow, the standout feature is the half-acre lot. This amount of private land is exceptionally rare in Winnipeg and represents the core of the property's value and future potential.
2. Is the house outdated?
Built in 1970, the home reflects its era. Buyers should anticipate features and layouts typical of that period. The value proposition here is the land, with the house serving as a functional foundation that can be lived in as-is or updated over time.
3. Who would this property not suit?
It may not suit buyers seeking a modern, low-maintenance home or a newly built subdivision property. The appeal is for those who see the land as an asset and are comfortable with a character home of a certain age.
4. What does the "top 1%" ranking for land actually mean?
This statistical ranking confirms that the lot size is larger than 99% of all residential properties in Winnipeg. It quantifies just how uncommon an offering of this scale is on the market.
5. Are there any concerns with a lot this size?
Prospective buyers should consider the maintenance required for a large yard, including landscaping and snow clearing. It's also wise to inquire about any site-specific zoning bylaws or restrictions that might affect future use, such as adding structures or subdividing.
