Property Overview
This well-maintained cabover home in Dakota Crossing offers a practical, move-in-ready package. Built in 2003, its 1,479 sqft of living space and renovated basement provide modern comfort on a manageable 3,719 sqft lot. The attached garage adds convenience. Its appeal lies in its solid, average positioning within a stable neighbourhood—it's a home that doesn't stand out for extreme size or value but offers reliable, above-average citywide quality for its assessed value. It would suit first-time buyers seeking a modernized, low-maintenance property, or downsizers looking for comfortable single-level living (main floor primary bedroom typical of cabover design) without the burden of an older home's upkeep.
Key Details & FAQs
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home is defined by its balance and practicality. It sits comfortably in the middle range for its immediate street and area in terms of size and value, but gains an edge citywide, ranking in the top 23% for assessed value against comparable homes. This suggests you get more home for your dollar here than in many other Winnipeg neighbourhoods. The 2003 build date means major systems are likely still in good condition, a less obvious but significant cost-saving benefit. The renovated basement adds flexible living space. The lot is smaller than area averages, which translates to less yard maintenance—a perk for some, a drawback for others. It’s ideal for buyers who prioritize a modern, efficient layout over expansive outdoor space, and who appreciate a home that represents solid, median investment in a community without premium pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does "cabover" mean for the layout?
A cabover design typically places the primary bedroom and often a second bedroom on the main floor, with additional living space or bedrooms in the raised basement. This is ideal for single-level living or families wanting bedroom separation.
2. How does the assessed value compare to the last sale price?
The home was last sold in April 2019 for $35,800. The current assessed value is $48,100. This increase reflects market changes and the renovated basement. Always consult a real estate professional for a current market valuation.
3. Is the lot size a concern?
At 3,719 sqft, the lot is below average for both Dakota Crossing and the city. This means smaller outdoor spaces but also less maintenance. It's a trade-off that suits those wanting a lower-maintenance yard.
4. How does this home rank for its age?
Built in 2003, it ranks above average for age on its street, in the area, and citywide. This means it's newer than many comparable homes, which often translates to fewer immediate repairs or updates needed.
5. What does the "top 23% citywide" assessed value ranking indicate?
This means that compared to all similar homes across Winnipeg, this property's assessed value is higher than 77% of them. It suggests the home offers good value or features for its official valuation compared to the broader market.
