Property Overview: 520 Besant Street, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1,052 sqft bungalow, built in 1959, sits on a notably generous 6,046 sqft lot in the Munroe East neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in its above-average land size for the area—ranking in the top 9% locally—offering significant outdoor space and potential in a city where larger lots are increasingly rare. The home's assessed value is consistently above average for its immediate street and neighbourhood, suggesting a well-regarded location within the community.
The property suits practical buyers looking for a solid footprint and the flexibility that a large lot provides. It’s a fit for someone comfortable with a home of this era, who may value the opportunity to update or expand over time more than move-in perfection. The data indicates it’s a property that holds its own within its specific community, likely appealing to those seeking a long-term foothold in a established area rather than a standout city-wide comparison. Its last known sale was between $250k-$300k in 2019.

Built in 1959, the home is of a typical age for its area. Buyers should budget for expected maintenance and updates common to houses from this period, while also recognizing the potential for classic construction and layout.
