14 Vanscoy Road

Property Overview

This 1970-built bi-level home at 14 Vanscoy Road offers a practical layout with a finished basement on a generous 7,021 sqft lot in Roblin Park. Its key appeal lies in its established, quiet neighbourhood setting combined with a larger-than-average property footprint, providing room to breathe and potential for outdoor projects or gardening. The home suits first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable, single-level living space with room to grow, or investors attracted by the solid lot value and the area's stability. A thoughtful perspective is its relative ranking: while the house itself is modest in size and age compared to many in Winnipeg, the lot size is a standout asset, offering future flexibility that newer subdivisions often lack.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the ranking data actually mean?
The rankings compare this property to others on its street, in Roblin Park, and across all of Winnipeg. For example, its lot size ranks in the top 17% city-wide, meaning it's larger than 83% of Winnipeg properties. Conversely, its living space is more compact, larger than only 25% of city homes.

2. Is a bi-level suitable for someone with mobility concerns?
A bi-level typically has a short flight of stairs to the main living area and another to the basement. While the main living is on one level, there are stairs at the entrance. It may not be ideal for those requiring full single-storey living without steps.

3. What are the implications of the home's age?
Built in 1970, the home is older than about half the properties in Winnipeg. Buyers should be prepared for maintenance consistent with its era and consider a thorough inspection. The upside is an established neighbourhood with mature landscaping.

4. The assessment is $414,000; is that the listing price?
No, the assessed value is for municipal tax purposes. The listing price is set by the seller and can be higher or lower based on market conditions, updates, and seller motivation.

5. Who might this property not suit?
It may not suit buyers seeking a modern, open-concept layout or a very large interior living space. The appeal here is more about the land and location than the size or newness of the house itself.
