Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a classic, single-storey home built in 1968, situated on a remarkably large, nearly 20,000 sqft lot in the Eric Coy neighbourhood. With 1,254 sqft of living space, a split garage, and no basement, it presents a specific and appealing profile. Its primary appeal lies in its exceptional land size, which places it in the top 1% of all properties in Winnipeg for lot dimensions—offering rare potential for expansion, gardening, or outdoor living. The home itself ranks solidly in the middle of the pack for size and age within its immediate area, suggesting it's a comfortable, established property rather than a modern renovation.

The property would best suit buyers who value space and potential over turn-key luxury. It’s ideal for someone looking for a manageable single-level layout with the invaluable asset of extensive land, whether for future building, recreational use, or simply enjoying a private, spacious yard. The very low municipal assessment relative to the lot size indicates a significant portion of the property's value is in the land itself, making it a compelling prospect for a long-term holder or a buyer willing to invest in updates over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does having "no basement" mean for storage and utilities?
The home's utilities and mechanical systems will be located on the main floor, potentially reducing the risk of basement flooding. Buyers should plan for creative storage solutions, as the nearly 20,000 sqft lot offers ample space for a shed or storage structure.

2. The lot is huge, but are there any restrictions on what I can do with it?
While the land size is a major asset, any new structures (like a garage, workshop, or addition) or significant landscaping would require checking with the City of Winnipeg for zoning bylaws, setback requirements, and necessary permits.

3. The home's assessed value seems low compared to the lot size. Why is that?
Municipal assessments primarily reflect the current state and value of the building(s) on the land. A lower assessment on a large lot often indicates that the land itself is the key value driver, with the existing home representing a smaller portion of the total property value.

4. How does the 1968 build year affect maintenance?
While the home is well-established, a buyer should anticipate age-related upkeep. A focused inspection of the roof, windows, plumbing, and electrical systems—common update points for homes of this era—is highly recommended.

5. The rankings show the lot is top 1% in Winnipeg, but the home is average. What's the takeaway?
This highlights the property's unique proposition: you are purchasing a premium-sized piece of land with a serviceable, average-sized home on it. The investment case and lifestyle appeal are fundamentally tied to the land's potential, not the existing structure's standout features.
