Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a well-situated, one-storey home in Winnipeg's Garden City neighbourhood, built in 1958. With 1,073 sqft of living space and a renovated basement, it offers functional, single-level living. A key feature is its 6,048 sqft lot, which is notably larger than many city-wide comparables, providing valuable outdoor space and potential. The home presents as a solid, average offering within its immediate area and broader market in terms of size, assessed value, and age, suggesting it is priced in line with expectations rather than standing out as an outlier.

Its primary appeal lies in its balance and practicality. It suits first-time homebuyers, downsizers, or investors looking for a manageable property with a low-maintenance footprint and the bonus of a finished basement for extra living space or rental income potential. The generous lot is a significant asset, offering room for gardening, play, or future expansion where zoning allows—a valuable perk not always found in homes at this price point. It’s a home for someone seeking a stable entry into the market with a bit of extra land, without the premium price tag of a fully modernized or significantly larger property.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare to others?
While the lot is on the smaller side for Dafoe Boulevard itself, it is actually above average compared to lots across the entire city, making it a relative strength for the property.

2. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the finishes or layout. A viewing or inquiry with the seller is necessary to determine the quality, permitted status, and current use of the space.

3. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the selling price?
The assessed value for municipal taxes ($34.10k) is a historical benchmark and typically much lower than market value. Recent sold prices in the area, like the home's last sale in 2019 for an estimated $25.5k-$28.5k, are more useful but must be adjusted for current market conditions.

4. What are the implications of the home's age (1958)?
While the home has been maintained, its age means prospective buyers should budget for updates to major aging components like the roof, windows, or plumbing, and consider an inspection to evaluate the electrical system and foundation.

5. How does the detached garage affect the property?
A detached garage provides flexible storage or workshop space but means navigating outdoors to access your vehicle in Winnipeg winters. Its condition, size, and potential for upgrade or conversion would be important to assess.
