Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This well-situated one-storey home in Winnipeg's Booth neighbourhood offers a practical blend of space and value. Its primary appeal lies in its generous 4,781 sqft lot, which ranks in the top tier for size on Nightingale Road, providing ample outdoor potential. The 1,167 sqft living area is also notably spacious for the street. A key feature is the renovated basement, adding valuable finished space. With a 1965 build date, it's a mature property, but its assessed value is highly competitive, ranking in the top 3% for value on its street. This suggests a solid foundation for equity without a premium price tag.
The property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable single-level layout with room to grow outdoors. It's also a candidate for value-conscious buyers who see potential in a home with a modernized basement but may plan to update the main living areas over time. The lot size is a standout for those prioritizing yard space over a newer build or garage.

3. There's no garage. How is parking?
The property has no garage. You'll want to assess the driveway space and on-street parking availability, especially during Winnipeg winters.

While the basement is updated, key aging components like the roof, windows, plumbing, electrical, and the furnace should be thoroughly inspected.
