Property Overview
This 2017-built home at 68 Crystal Avenue offers a modern residence within the established Varennes community. Its key appeal lies in the balance of contemporary construction and a manageable scale. At 990 sqft, the living space is very close to the neighborhood average, providing comfortable room without the upkeep of a larger home. The property stands out for its above-average assessed value within its immediate area, suggesting desirable features or finishes not captured in basic metrics, and its newness ranks in the top 5% citywide. However, the lot is notably smaller than most in the area, which translates to less outdoor maintenance—a potential benefit for some buyers. This home would suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a modern, low-maintenance property in a mature neighborhood, particularly those who prioritize a newer build with updated systems over expansive yard space.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the living space sufficient for a small family?
The 990 sqft floor plan is slightly below the city average but aligns closely with the typical home in the Varennes area. It is generally suitable for individuals, couples, or a small family comfortable with efficient use of space.
2. Why is the tax assessment value higher than the street and neighborhood averages?
A higher assessment relative to nearby properties often indicates factors like recent renovations, premium finishes, or a superior condition compared to older homes in the area. It's a sign of the home's modern build and potential above-standard features.
3. What are the implications of the smaller lot size?
The lot is significantly smaller than most in the neighborhood. This means less yard maintenance and lower exterior upkeep costs, which is an advantage for those seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle. The trade-off is limited private outdoor space for gardening or recreation.
4. How does the 2017 build year benefit me as an owner?
A home built in 2017 means newer major systems (roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical), which typically come with greater energy efficiency, fewer immediate repair concerns, and compliance with modern building codes, potentially reducing near-term maintenance costs.
5. How does this property compare to others in Winnipeg overall?
It presents a mix: its modern build date is a major citywide advantage, while its living space is smaller than the Winnipeg average. Its value is solidly in line with the city median, offering a competitively priced, newer home with the trade-off of a more compact lot and interior footprint.
