Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This is a substantial and well-established family home in Winnipeg's Ridgedale area, built in 1968. Its primary appeal lies in its generous scale and premium lot size. With nearly 3,500 sqft of finished living space and a large, 13,291 sqft property, it offers significant room for family life and entertaining. Key features include a finished basement, an in-ground pool, and an attached garage. The home's standout characteristic is its exceptional size relative to the market; it ranks in the top tier of Winnipeg homes for both living area and lot dimensions.
The property would best suit a buyer looking for a move-in ready, spacious home with established gardens and a pool, who values room over a newer build. It's ideal for a family or someone who enjoys hosting, as the lot provides ample private outdoor space. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home is over 50 years old, its above-average rankings for assessed value suggest it has been maintained or updated in ways that are recognized in the market. Buyers should appreciate the rarity of such a large parcel and home footprint in the city, but also be prepared for the upkeep that comes with a mature property and pool.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the age of the home affect its value and condition?
Built in 1968, the home is well-established. Its assessment value ranks very highly locally, which can indicate significant updates, quality original construction, or both. A thorough inspection is recommended to understand the condition of major systems like plumbing, electrical, and the roof.
2. What are the ongoing costs associated with the swimming pool?
Beyond seasonal maintenance, owners should budget for increased utilities (water, electricity for pumping/heating), chemicals, insurance considerations, and long-term upkeep like liner or equipment replacement.
3. The lot is exceptionally large. What are the implications?
This is a major asset, offering privacy, space for recreation, and garden potential. However, it also means higher property taxes (based on value), more landscaping work, and potentially higher costs for exterior maintenance like fencing or driveway repairs.
4. The home ranks very high for size but lower for age on its street. What does this mean?
This suggests the home is one of the larger, more valuable properties on a street that may have a mix of original and newer homes. It positions the home as a premium offering in the immediate area, though the neighborhood overall has many homes of a similar vintage.
5. Is the finished basement included in the listed living area?
Typically, the 3,496 sqft living area includes all finished above-ground and below-grade spaces. It's advisable to confirm the exact square footage breakdown and the nature of the basement finish (e.g., full-height, legal egress) to understand how all the space is utilized.
