Property Overview: 6 Selwyn Place, Fort Richmond, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home in Fort Richmond presents a solid, above-average offering in several key areas. With 1,608 sqft of living space, it sits comfortably above the city-wide average, providing ample room for a family. The property benefits from a renovated basement, an attached garage, and the notable addition of a pool. Its 7,369 sqft lot is substantially larger than the typical Winnipeg property, offering generous outdoor space.

The appeal lies in its balanced strength across metrics. It's not leading in every category, but it consistently performs well above the median when compared to the local area and the entire city. This is particularly true for its Assessed Value, which ranks in the top 12% of Fort Richmond, suggesting a perception of quality and desirability relative to its neighbours. Built in 1971, the home is of a vintage common to the area, but its updated basement indicates some modernization.

This home would suit practical buyers looking for established neighbourhood value—specifically, families or those who entertain and would utilize both the spacious lot and the pool. It’s for someone who prioritizes more indoor and outdoor space over a brand-new build, and who appreciates a home that stands on a street and in a neighbourhood where its assessed value is notably strong.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the pool impact property value and upkeep?
While a pool is a desirable amenity for many, it represents both a lifestyle feature and a maintenance consideration. It adds to summer enjoyment and can be a selling point, but prospective buyers should factor in ongoing costs for seasonal opening/closing, chemicals, and potential insurance implications.

2. The assessed value seems high for the area. What does this indicate?
The assessment ranking in the top 12% of Fort Richmond suggests that municipal evaluators see this property as one of the more valuable in the neighbourhood. This can reflect the home's condition, improvements (like the renovated basement), lot size, and recent sales of comparable homes. It's a positive indicator of its standing locally.

3. What is the significance of the lot size?
At over 7,300 sqft, the lot is a key asset. It provides ample yard space, greater privacy, and room for gardening, play, or expansion. This is a less replaceable feature than interior updates and contributes significantly to the property's long-term value.

4. Are there any concerns with a home built in 1971?
Homes from this era are common and well-built, but the age implies that some major components (like the roof, windows, or original plumbing/electrical) may be nearing or past their typical lifespan. A thorough inspection is advised to determine the condition and remaining life of these elements.
