Property Overview
This 1972-built, one-storey home in Crestview offers a practical and comfortable living arrangement. Its key appeal lies in a well-balanced combination of space, location, and value. The 1,171 sqft living area sits on a generous 6,031 sqft lot, providing ample outdoor space that ranks well above average for the street. A significant feature is the renovated basement, which adds valuable finished living space. The home presents a solid, move-in-ready foundation with an attached garage.
Its profile suggests it would suit first-time buyers seeking a manageable single-level layout, or downsizers looking for a low-maintenance property with room to garden or entertain. The assessed value positions it as a mid-range option within Winnipeg, offering a chance to live in a stable neighbourhood without a premium price tag. A less obvious point of appeal is its age ranking: it's one of the newer homes on its street, which may imply fewer immediate concerns compared to older neighbours. The data shows it attracts interest from buyers also viewing homes in nearby Westwood and Buchanan, indicating it’s considered within a broader, desirable west Winnipeg corridor.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to others?
The 6,031 sqft land area is substantial, ranking in the top 26% for size on Buffie Bay itself. This is a standout feature for the property, offering more private outdoor space than many nearby homes.
2. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated, but the specific finishes and layout are not detailed here. This would be a key point to clarify with the listing agent to understand the full scope of living space.
3. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the listing price?
Not directly. The assessed value of $35,900 is for municipal tax purposes. Market value is determined by recent sales of comparable homes. The "Similar assessed value" list shows other homes with the same tax assessment across different neighbourhoods, highlighting that location is a major factor in actual market price.

Crestview is a mature, established neighbourhood in west Winnipeg. The home's rankings show it is generally larger and newer than many properties in the wider area, suggesting it is a solid offering within this community.
5. How does this home rank for its age and size in the broader city?
Within Winnipeg, this home ranks near the median (top 50-54%) for both its living area and assessed value, indicating it is a very typical offering in terms of scale and municipal valuation for the city. Its newer build date relative to its immediate street is a local advantage.
