Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1963-built, three-level split home in Fort Richmond offers a practical layout with 1,058 sqft of living space and a renovated basement. It sits on a 6,473 sqft lot, which is notably above average in size for Winnipeg overall. The home includes a detached garage. Its assessed value is modest relative to the broader city, and it last sold in 2023.

The appeal lies in its grounded, no-frills offering. It’s a home that prioritizes function and space over luxury finishes. The above-average citywide lot size is a significant asset, providing room for gardening, play, or expansion. The renovated basement adds immediate usable space without the need for a project. This property suits first-time buyers, downsizers, or practical investors looking for an entry into the stable Fort Richmond neighborhood without a premium price tag. It’s for those who see value in land and solid fundamentals over a modern or turn-key presentation.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the home’s size compare to others?
At 1,058 sqft, the living area is slightly below average for the immediate area and Fort Richmond, but is around the average mark for Winnipeg as a whole. The three-level split design can make the space feel compartmentalized.

2. What is the significance of the lot size?
The 6,473 sqft lot is a standout feature. It ranks in the top 23% citywide, meaning it offers more outdoor space than most properties in Winnipeg, a valuable asset for privacy or future outdoor projects.

3. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the selling price?
Not directly. The assessed value of $37,900 is for municipal tax purposes. The home’s 2023 sale price was in the $35.5k–$38.5k range, which is closer to a realistic market expectation, though current conditions may alter that.

4. What does the "renovated basement" entail?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope or quality. Buyers should inquire about the work done, permits, and the basement’s intended use (e.g., living space, rental suite potential) to understand its true value.

5. As a home from the 1960s, what should I be mindful of?
While the basement has been updated, the core structure and major systems (like plumbing, electrical, and the roof) are over 60 years old. A thorough inspection is essential to understand the condition and anticipate potential maintenance costs for these older components.
