2. Is the living space larger than average?
Yes. The 1,782 sqft of living area is above the average for Canterbury Park and significantly above the Winnipeg average, placing it in the top 18-21% of homes for space in those areas.
3. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the finishes or layout. This would be a key point for a viewing or follow-up with the listing agent to understand the quality and functionality of the space.
4. How does the last sale price relate to the current assessed value?
The home sold for $393,000 in August 2017. The current assessed value is $507,000. This increase reflects market changes over seven years and the assessed value is used for municipal tax purposes, not necessarily setting the market sale price.
5. The lot is described as "around average." What does that mean for privacy or expansion?
With a 5,086 sqft lot ranking near the middle for the neighbourhood, it offers typical suburban spacing. It likely provides a standard backyard for recreation and gardening, but may not offer the seclusion or space for significant additions that a "top-tier" sized lot would.
