Property Overview: 81 Sammons Crescent
Key Characteristics, Appeal & Ideal Buyer
This 1989-built, single-storey home in Varsity View sits on a notably large, 8,128 sqft lot, offering a substantial outdoor space that ranks highly within the wider Winnipeg area. Its key features include 1,450 sqft of living space, an attached garage, and an unfinished basement. The property’s primary appeal lies in its land value and established neighbourhood setting. While the house itself is of average size for its community and shows its age, the expansive lot presents significant potential for gardening, expansion, or future redevelopment, subject to local bylaws. Its strong city-wide rankings for lot size and age suggest a solid, well-positioned property in a mature area.
This home would best suit practical buyers who value space and potential over immediate turn-key finishes. It’s a fit for those looking for a long-term family home with room to grow and customize, or for investors/renovators who see value in the underlying land and the opportunity to add value through updates or a future build. It may be less suitable for those seeking modern, low-maintenance living or fully finished spaces right away.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the ranking data actually tell me?
The rankings compare this property to others on its street, in Varsity View, and across all of Winnipeg. They show its lot size is a major strength city-wide, while the house itself is more average within its immediate community. This highlights the property as a "land play" in a desirable location.
2. Is the unfinished basement a drawback or an opportunity?
It depends on your plans. It means immediate extra living space isn’t available, but it also provides a blank slate for future development—like a rec room, suite, or storage—without needing to undo previous renovations.
3. The house was built in 1989. What should I be mindful of?
While not historic, a home of this age may be due for updates to major systems like the roof, windows, or HVAC. A thorough inspection is key to budgeting for potential near-term maintenance or efficiency upgrades.
4. How does the assessment value relate to the asking price?
The municipal assessment ($468,000) is for tax purposes and is often lower than market value. It’s a data point, but the listing price will be based on current market conditions, the home’s specific features, and the value of the large lot.
5. What are the pros and cons of a single-storey layout?
The main advantage is accessibility and easy flow between living spaces, which is ideal for aging in place or for those who prefer no stairs. A potential downside is that all living areas are on one level, which can sometimes feel less private than a multi-storey layout.
