Property Overview
This is a distinctive, one-storey home in Winnipeg's Wilkes South neighbourhood, built in 1976. Its defining feature is the exceptionally large, nearly 2.2-acre lot (95,673 sq ft), which places it in the top tier of properties in the city for land size. The house itself offers a generous 2,217 sq ft of living space, comfortably larger than most Winnipeg homes. Key amenities include an attached garage, a swimming pool, and an unfinished basement. The property's overall assessed value is $649,000.
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
The primary appeal of 1275 Liberty Street lies in its extraordinary land. The vast, flat parcel offers unparalleled privacy and potential within the city limits, suitable for extensive gardening, recreational activities, or future expansion. The in-ground pool complements this outdoor lifestyle. The single-storey layout is practical for multi-generational living or those seeking to avoid stairs. With an unfinished basement, the home presents a clear opportunity for customization to suit a new owner's needs.
This property would best suit a buyer whose priority is space and privacy over a modern, turn-key home. It's ideal for someone with a vision for the land—whether for hobbies, horses, or simply room to breathe—and who is comfortable with a home that may require updates reflective of its 1976 origins. It represents a unique opportunity to own a rural-scale property without leaving the city, appealing to those who value potential and space above all else.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the true value of such a large lot in this area?
Beyond the obvious privacy, a lot of this size is a rare commodity in Winnipeg. It offers flexibility that standard lots cannot, from hosting large gatherings to potential subdivision (subject to city approval), making it a long-term asset.
2. What should I consider with a 50-year-old home?
While systems like the roof, plumbing, and electrical may have been updated, a thorough inspection is crucial to understand the condition and plan for any necessary modernizations or maintenance typical of a home from this era.
3. Is the pool a major liability?
The pool is a significant feature that requires consideration. It adds to summer enjoyment and property appeal but also entails ongoing maintenance costs, insurance implications, and safety responsibilities.
4. How does the unfinished basement affect the home's utility?
This is a key opportunity. It provides ample storage and the chance to add significant finished living space, a second bathroom, or a dedicated recreational area tailored to your needs, which could greatly increase the home's functionality and value.
5. The rankings show mixed results for the neighbourhood; what's the community like?
The rankings are comparative metrics based on specific data points. Wilkes South is an established, mature community. The property itself outperforms most in the city for lot size and living area, suggesting it's a standout home in a neighbourhood that offers settled convenience rather than new development.
