Property Overview
This 1956 one-storey home in Varsity View offers a classic, grounded living experience on a large 7,210 sqft lot. Its key appeal lies in a combination of space, location, and practicality. The home features a fully finished basement, a combined attached and detached garage setup providing ample storage or workshop potential, and a generous yard that is a rarity closer to the city core. While the living area (964 sqft) is modest, the expansive lot presents a significant opportunity for gardening, expansion, or simply enjoying private outdoor space.
The property suits buyers looking for a solid, no-frills home in a well-established neighbourhood near the University of Manitoba. It’s ideal for those who value land size over a recently built structure, and for handy individuals or families who see potential in a home with good bones and the space to grow into. Its rankings suggest it’s a competitively sized property city-wide but offers a more affordable entry point into the neighbourhood, appealing to value-conscious buyers willing to take on a home with character and history.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "combined garage" setup mean?
The listing notes both an attached and a detached garage. This typically means a single garage is connected to the house, with an additional separate garage on the property, offering exceptional storage, workshop space, or parking flexibility.
2. How does the 70-year age of the home impact a purchase?
While the home has enduring appeal, its age means systems like plumbing, electrical, and the roof will require careful inspection. The positive trade-off is the established neighbourhood and the mature, large lot that often accompanies homes of this era.
3. The rankings show it beats 85% of Winnipeg homes for lot size but is lower for living area. What's the takeaway?
This highlights the property’s core dynamic: you are primarily investing in the land. The house itself is functional but modest. The value and future potential are heavily tied to the substantial, private yard.
4. Is the finished basement included in the 964 sqft living area?
No, the 964 sqft refers to the above-ground living space. The finished basement is additional square footage, increasing the home's usable space but not its official "living area" calculation for assessments.
5. What is the neighbourhood vibe in Varsity View?
As a neighbourhood adjacent to the University of Manitoba, it offers a quiet, residential feel with a mix of long-term residents and academic community members. It provides a suburban sense of space while remaining conveniently close to campus amenities and transit routes.
