Property Summary: 42 Bramble Drive, Varsity View, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a spacious, two-storey family home built in 1988, situated on a large, 8,043 sqft lot in the established Varsity View neighbourhood. Its key characteristic is above-average space, with over 2,000 sqft of living area, ranking it in the top 10% of homes in the community for size. The property includes an unfinished basement and an attached garage. Its appeal lies in a balanced offering of a generous lot, substantial interior space, and a prime location near the University of Manitoba. The home’s rankings suggest it is a competitively sized property in a desirable area, though it presents as a solid candidate for updates, given its age and unfinished basement.
It would best suit practical buyers looking for a long-term family home in a sought-after academic community, who value interior space and yard size over turn-key modern finishes. It’s ideal for those with the vision or budget to customize the basement and potentially refresh the interiors to their own taste. A less obvious perspective is that the very large lot offers not just space for play or gardening, but significant long-term value potential in a neighbourhood where land is at a premium.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the true condition of the main living areas?
The listing confirms an unfinished basement, but the condition of the primary 2,041 sqft of living space (kitchen, bathrooms, floors) is not detailed. A viewing is essential to assess the level of updating required.
2. How does the assessment value relate to the asking price?
The municipal assessment is $518,000. Buyers should note this is for tax purposes and market conditions often dictate the final sale price, which can be higher or lower.
3. What are the specific benefits of the Varsity View location?
The neighbourhood is highly walkable and family-oriented, with proximity to the University of Manitoba, its associated amenities, schools, and transit routes. The sense of community is a major draw.
4. What would finishing the basement involve?
An unfinished basement offers a blank canvas but requires significant investment for framing, insulation, flooring, and permits. Obtaining quotes from contractors early in the buying process is advisable.
5. Why is the lot size a notable feature?
At over 8,000 sqft, the lot is substantially larger than many in urban Winnipeg. This provides rare outdoor space for recreation, gardening, or future additions like a deck or shed, adding to both livability and value.
