Highlights & common questions: 96 Lincrest Road, Winnipeg

Property Overview: 96 Lincrest Road, Garden City, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a well-established, one-storey home built in 1961, situated on a notably spacious lot for its Lincrest Road neighbourhood. With 1,087 sqft of living space, the home is compact and efficient, featuring a renovated basement and a detached garage. The data reveals a property that is very typical in terms of its assessed value and age for the broader Winnipeg area, but it stands out locally for its above-average land size. Its appeal lies in its grounded, no-frills practicality: the lot offers room for gardening, play, or expansion, while the renovated basement adds modern, functional living space. This home would best suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or practical investors looking for a solid entry into a mature neighbourhood without a premium price tag. It’s a home for those who value space outdoors over square footage indoors and see potential in a property’s footprint rather than its current finishes.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s size compare to others nearby?
At 1,087 sqft, the living area is below the average for both Lincrest Road and the wider Garden City area, indicating a more compact, manageable layout. The trade-off is a land area that ranks in the top 28% on its street, offering more outdoor space than many immediate neighbours.

2. Is the assessed value a good indicator of the likely selling price?
The assessed value is around the median for the city, street, and neighbourhood. In a balanced market, this often aligns closely with sale prices, but it’s always a starting point. The last recorded sale was between late 2016 and early 2017.

3. What does a “renovated basement” typically mean for a home of this age?
While specifics aren’t listed, in a 1961 home this likely means updated finishes, proper insulation, and legal egress to create a comfortable living, family, or rental space. It’s a significant value-add, transforming what is often unfinished storage into functional square footage.

4. Who might this property not suit?
It may not suit buyers seeking a large, open-concept main floor or a brand-new, maintenance-free home. The one-storey design with a smaller footprint suggests defined rooms and a classic layout. Those needing multiple bedrooms or dedicated home offices on the main level should verify the floor plan.

5. How can I find out the exact historical sale prices?
The exact sold price history is not publicly displayed in detail. The listing service offers to provide this information manually via email upon request, at no cost and without marketing spam, typically by the end of the same business day.
