Property Overview
This well-situated bi-level home at 23 Rothshire Place in Canterbury Park offers a practical and low-maintenance living proposition. Built in 1992, its key appeal lies in its generous, above-average lot size (5,490 sq ft) for both the immediate street and the neighbourhood, providing valuable outdoor space in a mature setting. The home features a renovated basement and a detached garage. While the living area is modest at 932 sq ft, the property’s value is anchored in its land and recent updates. It last sold in February 2022 for $380,000, a price point that was around average for the wider city at the time.
This property would suit first-time buyers seeking a manageable home with yard potential, or downsizers looking for a single-level floor plan (bi-level) without sacrificing outdoor privacy. It’s a pragmatic choice for those who prioritize a solid location and land size over expansive interior square footage.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to others?
The 5,490 sq ft lot is a standout feature, ranking in the top 18% on its own street and the top 23% within Canterbury Park. This means you get more yard space than most comparable properties in the immediate area.
2. Is the home considered modern or dated?
Built in 1992, the home is newer than the Winnipeg city average. On its street and citywide, its age ranks in the top 21%, indicating it’s among the newer third of homes. It offers a balance of established neighbourhood maturity without some of the major maintenance concerns of much older properties.
3. The living space seems smaller. Is that a concern?
At 932 sq ft, the living area is below the neighbourhood and city averages. This confirms the home is best suited for those comfortable with a more compact layout. The appeal is in the efficient use of space, the renovated basement, and the trade-off for a larger yard.
4. What does the assessed value tell us?
The assessed value of $38,800 is for taxation purposes only and is not an indicator of market value. It is above average for the street but around average for the neighbourhood. The last sale price of $380,000 (Feb 2022) is a more relevant benchmark for current market comparisons.
5. Who would this property appeal to most?
Its profile is ideal for buyers who see the land as an asset—whether for gardening, pets, or future expansion. It also fits buyers looking for a renovated, move-in-ready basement space for a family room or suite potential, making the total usable space more competitive than the main floor square footage alone suggests.
