Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This well-established 1970s bungalow in Varsity View offers a practical and spacious family layout on a large, nearly 7,000 sqft lot. Its key appeal lies in the combination of a generous, private yard, a finished basement adding functional living space, and the rare amenity of a private swimming pool. The home's rankings indicate it outperforms most of Winnipeg in terms of lot size, living area, and assessed value, suggesting a solid, above-average offering for its type.
It particularly suits buyers looking for single-level living or those wanting a move-in ready home with immediate summer recreation space. The large lot also presents a long-term opportunity for expansion or landscaping projects. A less obvious strength is its position within the community; while the home itself is older, it sits on a property that is more substantial in size and value than many in the wider city, offering a sense of space that is harder to find in newer subdivisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the significance of the provided rankings?
The rankings compare this property against others on its street, in Varsity View, and across all of Winnipeg. For example, ranking "in the top 17%" for lot size in Winnipeg means the property is larger than 83% of homes in the city, highlighting the lot as a major asset.
2. Is the pool a seasonal or permanent structure?
The listing specifies a swimming pool, but prospective buyers should verify during a viewing whether it is an in-ground or above-ground installation, as this affects maintenance, value, and seasonal use.
3. What does "finished basement" entail here?
Given the home's era and style, the finished basement likely adds significant functional space. It's important to clarify the finish quality, ceiling height, and whether it includes a separate entrance or additional bedrooms.
4. How does the 1970 build year affect the home?
While the home is older, its high rankings for living space and assessed value suggest it has been maintained or updated. Buyers should still pay close attention to the condition of major 50+ year-old systems like plumbing, electrical, and the roof during an inspection.
5. Who would this property not suit?
This home may not suit those seeking a modern, open-concept layout without renovation work, or buyers wanting a brand-new, low-maintenance property. The pool, while a benefit, also requires a willing commitment to upkeep and safety.
