Highlights & common questions: 27 Macalester Bay, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This one-storey home at 27 Macalester Bay in Fort Richmond is a practical and well-situated property. Built in 1965, it sits on a generous 6,826 sqft lot that is larger than the city-wide average, offering valuable outdoor space. The 1,190 sqft living area is modest for the immediate street but is in line with broader neighbourhood and city averages. Key features include a renovated basement and a detached garage. The home’s assessed value is consistent with others on the street and in Fort Richmond.

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

The primary appeal of this home lies in its balance of a spacious, private lot and a manageable, updated living space. While the house itself is not large, the significant lot size provides room for gardening, play, or future expansion—a valuable asset in the city. The renovated basement adds functional living area, and the detached garage offers flexible storage or workshop potential.

It’s a property that suits first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a solid, single-level home in a mature neighbourhood without an overwhelming amount of maintenance. Its value is grounded rather than aspirational; it appeals to those who prioritize land size and location over a large interior footprint. A thoughtful perspective is that, while the home is older than most on its street, this can sometimes indicate a well-established, stable pocket of the neighbourhood with larger, older trees and a settled feel.
