Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This 1986 bi-level home at 39 Corliss Crescent in Canterbury Park presents a specific and practical value proposition. Its key appeal lies in its generous 5,149 sqft lot, which is above average for the neighbourhood, paired with a recently renovated basement. This combination offers outdoor space and modernized living areas at a price point reflected in its below-average assessed value.
The home’s living area (963 sqft) is notably compact, even for its immediate street and the wider city. This makes it a home that prioritizes efficient use of interior space and the potential of its yard over sheer square footage. It would suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking an entry into the Canterbury Park area with a manageable footprint and a solid lot size. The renovated basement adds immediate functional living space without the need for initial projects. It’s a property for those who see value in land and updated essentials rather than a large, turn-key interior.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the home particularly small?
Yes. At 963 sqft of living area, it is significantly smaller than most homes on its own street and in Canterbury Park. The layout and the renovated basement will be key to determining if the space meets your needs.
2. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope. This should be a primary question for the listing agent to understand the quality, permits, and the added functional living space it provides.
3. Why is the assessed value relatively low?
The assessed value is below average for the street, likely reflecting the home's smaller-than-average living area. It does not necessarily reflect the potential value of the large lot or the basement renovation.
4. What is the neighbourhood like for a home of this size?
Canterbury Park typically features larger homes. This property offers an opportunity to live in the area at a potentially more accessible price point, though its size is atypical for the surrounding houses.
5. Is the lack of a garage a concern?
The home has no garage. Buyers should consider their storage needs and vehicle parking, especially during Winnipeg winters, as this will rely on driveway and on-street parking.
