Property Summary: 1490 McCreary Road

Section 1: Overview & Appeal

This property is defined by its substantial, private lot of over 2.4 acres (105,651 sqft), a rare find within Winnipeg that offers exceptional space and potential. The 2,222 sqft cabover-style home, built in 2008, provides modern living space with an unfinished basement ready for customization. Its appeal lies in the unique balance of a newer, comfortable home with the expansive canvas of a large rural-like parcel, all within a city neighborhood. It ranks in the top tier of Winnipeg properties for lot size, living area, and assessed value, indicating a premium offering.

This home would best suit buyers seeking privacy, space for hobbies, gardening, or future expansion, and who value a property with a standout characteristic in its land. It’s ideal for someone comfortable with the maintenance of a large yard and who sees potential in the unfinished basement to tailor the home to their specific needs. A less obvious perspective is its appeal to multi-generational families or those planning long-term, where the basement could be developed into a separate suite, and the vast lot allows for additions like a workshop, large garage, or extensive outdoor living areas.

Section 2: Key Questions (FAQs)

1. What does "cabover" style mean?
A cabover design features a second story that extends over part of the garage, creating a distinctive exterior profile and often allowing for efficient use of the upper-floor space.

2. Is the property in a flood zone or have any land use restrictions?
Prospective buyers must verify this directly with the city and a survey, as large, low-lying lots in Winnipeg can have specific considerations regarding drainage, zoning, and potential building restrictions.

3. What are the annual property taxes?
Taxes are not listed here. The current assessed value is $882,000; buyers should contact the municipal tax office for an accurate calculation based on the mill rate.

4. Why is the lot size ranking so high, but the street ranking lower?
The lot is exceptionally large for Winnipeg (top 0%), making it a standout city-wide. The street and neighborhood rankings are relative to immediate areas that may also contain other large properties, so its local ranking, while strong, is comparatively lower.

5. What is the potential for the unfinished basement?
The basement presents a significant opportunity to add value and liveable space, such as a recreation room, home theatre, additional bedrooms, or a separate entrance suite, subject to necessary permits and building codes.
