356 Elmhurst Road

Property Overview

This 1997-built bi-level home at 356 Elmhurst Road offers a practical and spacious layout in the established Varsity View neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in a combination of above-average size, modern-enough construction, and a strong positional value within the city. With 1,572 sqft of finished living space, a developed basement, and a lot size of over 5,700 sqft, it provides ample room for a growing household or those who value separate living areas. The data suggests its greatest strengths are its assessed value and relative newness compared to most Winnipeg homes, ranking in the top tiers city-wide. It’s a property that suits buyers looking for a move-in ready, low-maintenance home in a mature neighbourhood, who prioritize space and a solid investment profile over brand-new construction or luxury finishes. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home ranks very high for value on its street, its size ranking within the desirable Varsity View community is more moderate, indicating it's a strong, comfortable home in an area where larger, more premium properties also exist.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the ranking data actually mean?
The rankings compare this home against others on its street, in Varsity View, and across all of Winnipeg. For example, being newer than 78% of Winnipeg homes and with a higher assessed value than 93% of them are standout data points indicating a relatively modern and well-valued property.

2. Is the basement included in the 1,572 sqft living area?
Typically, the listed "居住面积" (Living Area) refers to above-ground, finished space. This home has a developed basement, but that square footage is likely additional to the 1,572 sqft main floor total.

3. What are the pros and cons of a bi-level design?
Pros often include defined separation between living and sleeping areas, efficient use of space, and generally easier access to the basement. A potential con is the entry via a short flight of stairs, which may be a consideration for those with mobility concerns.

4. How does being built in 1997 affect the home?
A 1997 build means major components like the roof, windows, and furnace are likely within or approaching a key replacement window, but are not antiquated. It offers a more modern floor plan and building standards than many older homes in the area, without the potential premium of a brand-new build.

5. The lot is large, but how is the outdoor space configured?
At over 5,700 sqft, the lot provides generous outdoor space. The specific configuration (front/back yard balance, garden areas, driveway length) isn't detailed here and would be a key point to clarify during a viewing to understand its usability for recreation, gardening, or parking.
