831 Coventry Road

Property Overview

This one-storey home on Coventry Road is defined by its exceptionally large, nearly half-acre lot in the Eric Coy neighborhood. Built in 1976, the 1,694 sqft home features a finished basement and a combined attached/detached garage. Its standout appeal lies not just in the generous living space, but in the rare scale of the property itself—offering a level of privacy and outdoor potential uncommon within the city. The home’s value is underscored by its assessment rankings, which place it in the top tier for lot size and value relative to most of Winnipeg.

This property would best suit a buyer looking for a blank-canvas outdoor space for gardens, recreation, or future expansion, who values space over a newer build. It also appeals to those seeking a home with strong intrinsic value and equity, as the data indicates it outperforms a significant majority of comparable properties on key metrics.

Key Questions for Consideration

1. Given the age of the home, what major systems (roof, HVAC, windows) have been updated, and what are the anticipated near-term maintenance costs?
2. How does the property's lot size and value assessment impact its municipal taxes compared to neighboring homes?
3. What are the specific permitted uses for the land, and are there any easements or restrictions that could affect building a structure like a large shed or workshop?
4. Is the finished basement a legal dwelling, and does it have a separate entrance or rental potential?
5. How does the combined attached/detached garage configuration function in practice for vehicle storage, workspace, and daily use during Winnipeg winters?
