Property Overview: 212 McLean Street, Varsity View, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a well-situated, character home in the established Varsity View neighbourhood. Built in 1940, it’s a one-and-a-half storey house offering 1,064 sqft of living space on a notably large, mature lot of over 7,300 sqft—a rarity that provides ample outdoor privacy and potential within the city. The home features a finished basement, adding to its functional space. Its key appeal lies in this combination of a prime location near the University of Manitoba, a generous and private yard, and the charm of a maintained older home.
The property’s competitive rankings reveal its nuanced position: while its living space is modest relative to modern builds, it excels in lot size, ranking in the top 14% city-wide. This makes it particularly suited for buyers who value outdoor space and location over sheer square footage. It would be an ideal fit for a small household, a first-time buyer looking for a solid entry into a desirable academic community, or an investor seeking a property with strong land value in a perennial rental market near the university. A thoughtful perspective is recognizing that the significant lot size offers a long-term advantage, whether for future expansion, gardening, or simply as a valuable asset in an area where such large parcels are increasingly uncommon.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does "ONE & 1/2 STOREY" mean for living space?
This style typically features main living areas on the ground floor, with additional bedrooms or rooms in a finished upper level under sloping rooflines, creating cozy, character-filled spaces.
2. The house ranks low for its age. Should I be concerned?
The age ranking indicates it’s older than most homes in the area. This isn’t inherently negative but highlights the importance of a thorough inspection to understand the condition of major systems (roof, wiring, plumbing) and the quality of maintenance and updates over the years.
3. Why is the lot size considered such a strong feature?
At over 7,300 sqft, the lot is substantially larger than many in Winnipeg, especially in mature neighbourhoods. This provides exceptional outdoor space, potential for additions or a garage (subject to bylaws), and contributes significantly to the property's underlying value.
4. Who is responsible for verifying the property rankings and data?
While the provided rankings offer helpful context, buyers should verify all data, including square footage, lot size, and assessment value, through their real estate professional and official municipal records.
5. There's no garage. Is adding one feasible?
The large lot certainly provides the space to consider building a garage or carport in the future. Any addition would require checking City of Winnipeg zoning bylaws, setback requirements, and obtaining the necessary permits.
