Property Overview
This two-storey home at 1448 Pritchard Avenue presents a distinct profile. Built in 1960, it is notably newer than most homes on its street and in the broader Burrows-Keewatin neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in its generous 2,046 sqft of living space, which ranks in the top 1% for size both on the street and in the immediate area, offering substantially more room than typical local homes. The property sits on a 3,499 sqft lot, which is around average for Pritchard Avenue. A key feature is the renovated basement, adding to its functional space. The home does not have a garage or pool.
This property would best suit a buyer looking for maximum interior space within this area, prioritizing room over lot size. It’s a practical choice for those who value a home that is newer than its surrounding neighbours and has already seen updates like the basement renovation. It appeals to a buyer who understands value in terms of interior square footage and modernized features, rather than extensive outdoor space or garage parking.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare?
The lot is about average for Pritchard Avenue but is below average for both the Burrows-Keewatin neighbourhood and the city of Winnipeg as a whole. The trade-off is that the house itself is significantly larger than others nearby.
2. What does the "Elite" ranking for Living Area mean?
It means this home's interior space is larger than 99% of comparable homes on its street and in its neighbourhood. You are getting a much bigger house than is typical for this specific location.
3. The assessed value seems low. Why?
The assessed value figures shown in the rankings are for comparison context only and appear to be historical or partial data. The home last sold in 2019 for $28,300. For current market value, a professional appraisal or comparative market analysis is necessary.
4. What is the significance of the 1960 build year?
In an area where many homes are from the early 1900s, a 1960 build date suggests potentially newer construction standards, wiring, and plumbing, which can be a meaningful advantage over older neighbours.
5. What should I consider about not having a garage?
The lack of a garage is common for many homes in this area. Buyers should factor in the cost and feasibility of adding off-street parking if needed, or plan for street parking, which should be verified with the city for any restrictions.
