Property Summary: 251 McLean Street, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a spacious, modern two-storey home in the established Varsity View neighbourhood. Built in 2011, it offers the benefits of a relatively new construction—likely requiring less immediate maintenance and featuring contemporary layouts and systems—within a mature, tree-lined community. With over 2,300 square feet of living space, a finished basement, and a large 6,459 sqft lot, it provides ample room for family living and entertaining.
Its primary appeal lies in its standout rankings within its immediate context. The home consistently places in the top tier for size, assessed value, and newness when compared to other homes on its street, in Varsity View, and across all of Winnipeg. This suggests it is a premium property for the area, offering more space and newer construction than most comparable listings. The combination of a sizable private lot and a double attached garage adds significant practical value.
This property would ideally suit a growing or established family looking for a move-in ready, low-maintenance home in a central, academic-adjacent neighbourhood. It also appeals to buyers seeking a property with strong competitive metrics—a home that outperforms most of its local peers in key categories, which can be a reassuring indicator of long-term value retention and desirability.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "ranking" data actually mean?
The rankings show how this property compares to others in specific geographic areas. For example, ranking in the "top 2%" for living area on its street means it is larger than 98% of the other 49 homes on McLean Street. This data helps contextualize its size, value, and age against the local market.
2. Is the neighbourhood family-friendly?
Varsity View is a highly sought-after, central neighbourhood known for its proximity to the University of Manitoba, strong schools, and quiet, leafy streets. Its established nature and community feel make it a classic choice for families.
3. What are the potential drawbacks of a 2011 build?
While modern, a home from 2011 is now over a decade old. Key components like the roof, major appliances, and the HVAC system may be approaching the middle or end of their typical lifespans and should be inspected. It represents a balance between modern design and the potential for upcoming replacement cycles.
4. How does the finished basement add value?
The finished basement immediately expands the usable living space, suitable for a recreation room, home office, or guest area. It provides functional flexibility without the need for a renovation project, which is a key advantage for buyers seeking ample space.
5. Why is the lot size a significant feature?
At over 6,400 square feet, the lot is substantially larger than many found in newer subdivisions. This allows for greater privacy, spacious outdoor living areas, gardening potential, and room for children or pets to play, which is increasingly rare in newer builds.
