Property Overview
This 1967 one-storey home in Varsity View offers a practical layout on a generous, mature lot. Its key appeal lies in a combination of space, location, and established character. The 1,318 sqft living area is above average for its immediate street and neighborhood, providing comfortable room for daily life. A significant feature is the finished basement, which adds flexible space for recreation, a home office, or guests. The property includes both attached and detached garage options, a notable utility for storage or workshop needs. The lot size of nearly 6,000 sqft is a standout, offering ample outdoor privacy and potential in a central area.
This home is well-suited for buyers seeking a solid, move-in-ready property without the premium of a new build. It would particularly appeal to small families, downsizers looking for single-level living without sacrificing yard space, or investors attracted by its strong rental location near the University of Manitoba. The rankings indicate it outperforms many local comparables in terms of living space and assessed value, suggesting a well-maintained home in a desirable setting. Its enduring appeal is less about modern flash and more about proven livability, a large yard, and the stability of an established, tree-lined community.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the significance of the provided rankings?
The rankings show how this property compares to others on its street, in Varsity View, and across all of Winnipeg. For example, its living area is larger than 77% of homes on its street and 62% city-wide, indicating above-average interior space for the area.
2. Is the finished basement included in the 1,318 sqft living area?
Typically, the listed "居住面积" (Living Area) refers to above-grade square footage. The finished basement is an additional bonus space, adding to the home's usable area beyond the main floor's 1,318 sqft.
3. What are the advantages of a 1967-built home?
Homes from this era often feature larger lot sizes, mature trees, and straightforward, functional floor plans. Construction tends to be robust, though a thorough inspection is always advised to understand the condition of major systems like roof, plumbing, and wiring.
4. The home has both an attached and detached garage. How does this work?
This configuration offers excellent flexibility. The attached garage provides convenient, direct access to the home, while the detached garage can serve as a dedicated workshop, secure storage for tools or bicycles, or extra parking without consuming space in the main garage.
5. The assessed value is $408,000. How should a buyer interpret this?
The municipal assessment is used for calculating property taxes and is not a direct market valuation. However, the fact that it ranks higher than 67% of Winnipeg homes suggests the city assessor views it as a above-average property for its value. The final sale price will be determined by the current market.
