Property Overview: 1538 McCreary Road
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a unique, single-storey home on an exceptionally large, private lot of approximately 3 acres (130,718 sq ft) in Winnipeg's Wilkes South neighborhood. Built in 1970, the 1,510 sq ft house features a finished basement. Its standout characteristic is the sheer scale and rarity of the land, which ranks in the top tier for size across the entire city. The property offers a level of space and potential not commonly found within Winnipeg.
The primary appeal lies in the possibilities presented by the vast, blank-canvas yard. It’s suited for buyers seeking privacy, space for hobbies, gardening, or future expansion. It would equally suit a buyer with a vision for extensive landscaping, someone wanting room for multiple outbuildings, or a family prioritizing outdoor recreation space over a large interior. The home itself, while modest in size and ranking lower on modern updates within its immediate area, serves as a functional base on a truly extraordinary piece of land. This is a property for a pragmatic buyer who values land value and long-term potential over a turn-key, modernized home.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "ranking" data mean?
The rankings compare this property against others on its street, in Wilkes South, and across all of Winnipeg for specific metrics. For example, its land size is in the top 0% city-wide (extremely large), while its assessed value is in the top 9% (higher than 91% of homes), reflecting the premium for the lot.
2. Is the land usable as-is, or are there restrictions?
While the lot is massive, you should verify any zoning bylaws or easements with the city to understand what can be built (e.g., secondary suites, garages, workshops) and to confirm the exact boundaries.
3. The house ranks lower for age and value on its street. What does this imply?
This suggests the home is older and may have seen fewer renovations than many of its neighbors. Buyers should be prepared for potential updates but can also view it as an opportunity to customize the home to their taste while securing the valuable land.
4. There's no garage. Can one be built?
Given the vast lot size, adding a garage or sizable outbuilding is likely feasible, subject to standard permits and zoning. The property’s main advantage is the ample space for such additions.
5. Who handles the maintenance of such a large property?
The owner is responsible for all maintenance. Consider the practicalities: landscaping (mowing, snow clearing on a large scale), property tax implications of a high-assessment lot, and the potential for naturalized areas to manage the space effectively.
