Property Overview
79 Morton Bay presents a solid, well-sized family home in Winnipeg's River West Park neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in offering above-average interior space on a good-sized lot, at a price point that sits below the immediate area's average. This creates value for buyers seeking room without a premium neighborhood price tag.
The 1,600 sqft living area is notably larger than most on its street and above the city average, suggesting a comfortable layout. The lot, at 6,250 sqft, is also generous by city standards. However, the context is key: while the home stands out positively on its own street, it is assessed below average for the broader River West Park area, indicating it may be a more modest offering compared to larger or more updated homes nearby. A thoughtful perspective is that this property represents a "street standout but neighborhood value" proposition—it offers some of the largest square footage on the block, yet its assessed value is positioned accessibly within the community.
This home would suit practical buyers—growing families or value-oriented purchasers—who prioritize interior and yard space over a fully renovated or high-spec finish. It’s for those who see potential in a home from the 1970s and may be comfortable with updates over time. The recent sale (late 2024) in the $350k-$400k range confirms its position as a competitively priced option in its class.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s size really compare to others?
It has more living space than roughly 90% of similar homes on Morton Bay Street and 75% of homes across Winnipeg, making it a spacious option for its street and city-wide.
2. Why is the assessed value below the neighborhood average?
The average assessed value in River West Park is significantly higher ($485.6k), likely due to many larger or more updated homes. This property’s lower assessment reflects its relative value within a desirable area, possibly due to original condition or specific lot attributes.
3. What does the "Elite" ranking for year built mean?
Built in 1974, it is the newest home among the 42 comparable properties on Morton Bay Street. This suggests potentially newer infrastructure (like plumbing or electrical) than its immediate neighbors, though the neighborhood and city averages are similar.
4. Is the lot size a pro or a con?
It’s a pro city-wide (above average), but slightly below average for the street and more noticeably below the neighborhood average. You get a solid yard by Winnipeg standards, but not an exceptionally large one for River West Park.
5. Where can I get the exact sold price?
The website provides sold price ranges publicly. Due to industry rules, exact MLS sale figures are not displayed online here. You can request the exact sold price history via email from the site provider, who will manually look it up and send it to you.
