4 Bedrooms, Steps from U of M
An Ideal Home for Living or Renting

This is a 1981-built split-level detached home — one of the most familiar housing typologies in Fort Richmond. With 1,921 sqft above grade on an 8,716 sqft lot, it sits comfortably in the "above-average" tier for the neighbourhood.

As seen in the hero aerial view, the lot is wrapped in mature trees with an open backyard and well-balanced spacing from neighbours — preserving the privacy of a detached home without feeling isolated. The front entry includes a generous garage and driveway, so parking is never a problem.

The interior has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully upgraded, delivering that "move-in-ready, instantly liveable" feel. Large windows pour natural light into the main living areas. Walls and flooring stay in warm neutral tones — never overdone, never dated.

The eat-in kitchen is the heart of this home — not just a place to cook, but where everyday meals and family conversations happen. This kitchen-plus-dining-area layout is exactly what Fort Richmond family buyers look for.

A Four-Level Layout

· Main Level: Living room + dining room + eat-in kitchen

· Upper Level: Primary bedroom with ensuite + 2 additional bedrooms + 1 full bath

· Lower Level: Bright above-grade family room + 4th bedroom + full bath + laundry

· Basement: Two recreation spaces (ideal for gym, games room, or hobby room) + excellent storage

This is the most undervalued — and most valuable feature of the property: a backyard wrapped in mature trees, paired with a generous deck expanded in 2022.

In a relatively dense residential area like Fort Richmond, finding a property with a large sunroom + spacious deck + open outdoor play space is genuinely uncommon. That means summer mornings with coffee in the sunroom, BBQs on the deck, and kids (or pets) roaming freely on the lawn.

For student renters in particular, this is the biggest quality-of-life gap over any apartment.

For a 1981-built home, maintenance history matters more than anything. This property has had several significant upgrades over the past six years:

One of the most important questions before any home purchase — will this price hold? Let's look at the historical transaction record:

What makes this property unusually attractive is its dual-use flexibility — it works equally well as a family home or as a student rental near U of M.

Scenario A · Family Owner-Occupied

4 bedrooms + 3 baths + four-level layout means every member of a family of 4-5 gets their own space. The sunroom and deck become the kids' favourite zones. With a community median household income of $156K, your neighbours are stable middle-class families — a strong environment for raising children.

Scenario B · Student Rental

4 independent bedrooms + 3 full baths + direct transit access to U of M = a near-ideal student share-house. Comparable rooms near the University of Manitoba typically rent for $700-$900 per month. At full occupancy, estimated gross rent is $2,800 – $3,600 / month (verify exact local rent with the listing agent).
