Highlights & common questions: 50 Sammons Crescent, Winnipeg

Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This 1988-built, single-story home in Varsity View offers a practical and spacious layout on a large, 6,540 sqft lot. Its key appeal lies in its generous proportions and established neighbourhood setting. With 1,665 sqft of living space, an unfinished basement, and an attached garage, it provides solid fundamentals for comfortable living and future customization. The property's rankings suggest it outperforms most of Winnipeg for living space, while its lot size and age are competitive within its immediate area. Its value is grounded in space and potential rather than luxury finishes.

The home would suit buyers looking for a genuine blank canvas—whether a growing family needing room to expand over time, or a practical-minded purchaser who prefers to invest in upgrades according to their own taste and schedule. It’s a property for those who see value in a large yard and the opportunity to finish a basement to suit their specific needs, rather than a turn-key solution.


Five Possible FAQs

1. What is the true potential of the unfinished basement?
The basement represents significant additional liveable space to be customized. Buyers should budget for and plan the finishing to suit their needs, whether for extra bedrooms, a recreational room, or dedicated storage.

2. How does the lot size compare to newer subdivisions?
At over 6,500 sqft, the lot is substantially larger than those typically found in modern developments. This allows for greater outdoor privacy, gardening space, and potential for additions like a deck or shed.

3. What should I consider about a home built in 1988?
Homes from this era often have well-understood construction methods and materials. A thorough inspection is advised to assess the current condition of major systems like the roof, windows, and HVAC, which may be nearing or past their typical lifespans and represent key budgeting points.

4. The assessment value seems lower than some nearby homes; why?
Municipal assessments are for tax purposes and don't always reflect current market value. The lower assessment here may relate to the home's unfinished state and original interior features compared to updated homes on the street, but it can also indicate a relatively lower property tax burden.

5. Is the neighbourhood family-friendly?
Varsity View is an established, mature neighbourhood. Its appeal is typically its stability, larger lot sizes, and proximity to schools and the University of Manitoba. It suits those seeking a quiet, residential setting over the buzz of a new, master-planned community.
