Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home presents a compelling opportunity defined by its exceptional lot size and solid, above-average fundamentals. Built in 1975, the 1,769 sqft house sits on a remarkably large 23,215 sqft parcel of land. This lot size is the property's standout feature, ranking in the top 1-2% compared to homes in the immediate area, neighborhood, and across Winnipeg. It offers rare potential for expansion, gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying substantial private outdoor space.
The home's assessed value of $522,000 consistently places it above average (top 16-29%) across all comparison levels, indicating a perception of lasting value. The living space is comfortably above the city-wide average. The appeal lies in this combination: a well-sized, established home on a truly premium lot that is scarce in the urban market. It would suit buyers who prioritize land over a brand-new build, such as families seeking room to grow, individuals wanting a private oasis, or long-term owners who value the unique potential and equity of an oversized lot in the city.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "Elite" ranking for land area actually mean?
It means this property's lot size is among the largest available, outperforming 98-99% of comparable properties on its street, in River West Park, and across Winnipeg. It is a genuinely rare find in terms of land.
2. The house was built in 1975. What should I consider?
While the structure is of average age for the area, a home from this era may have original components, like windows, roofing, or major systems, that are nearing or due for updates. A thorough inspection is key to understanding the condition and any modernizing investments required.
3. The assessed value is above average, but the living area is only slightly above average for the neighborhood. Why?
The assessed value reflects the total property package, not just the house. The significant premium is largely attributed to the exceptional land value of the oversized lot, which adds substantial worth.
4. Is previous sale price data available for this specific address?
Detailed sales history is not publicly displayed on this site due to data licensing. You can request the exact sale price figures by email, and the provider will manually retrieve and send that information to you.
5. What are the potential trade-offs of such a large lot?
While offering privacy and potential, a lot of this size typically entails higher property taxes, greater maintenance (like lawn care or snow clearing), and a responsibility to utilize or steward the space effectively. It's an asset that also comes with ongoing commitments.
