Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 4-level split home, built in 1962, stands out for its exceptional scale and established presence in the Garden City neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in its generous proportions: with 3,835 sqft of living space, it ranks in the top 1% for size not just on its street, but across the entire city. This is complemented by a large, above-average lot of nearly 7,900 sqft. The home features a renovated basement, an attached garage, and a pool, catering to a lifestyle focused on private recreation and spacious indoor living.

The property’s data reveals a thoughtful perspective: it offers the roominess of a premium estate but within a mature, established community context. It suits buyers who prioritize abundant interior space for a multi-generational family, home-based business, or extensive hobbies over a brand-new build. It’s an ideal match for those seeking a "compound-like" feel—a private retreat with a pool and sizable yard—without leaving the city. The recent sale history indicates consistent and strong market interest, underscoring its status as a standout, high-capacity home in the area.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value compare to recent sale prices?
The current assessed value is $59,100. The home sold in June 2023 for between $65,500 and $68,500, suggesting the market value is tracking above its official assessment.

2. What does the "top 1%" ranking for living area actually mean?
This statistic confirms the home is exceptionally large. It has more living space than 99% of comparable homes in Winnipeg, making it a rare find for buyers seeking maximum square footage.

3. Is the age of the home (1962) a concern?
The year built is around the neighbourhood average. While some systems may be original and require attention, the age is typical for the area and is offset by the fact that the basement has been renovated.

4. What are the ongoing costs associated with the pool?
Prospective buyers should budget for standard pool maintenance, seasonal opening/closing, increased utility usage, and potential repairs, which are common for a private pool of this vintage.

5. How can I get the exact historical sold price?
The exact sale prices are not publicly listed. You can request them directly via the "Get exact sold price history" feature on the listing page, and the team will provide the figures by email.
