Property Overview
This two-storey home at 55 Dacquay Crescent in Winnipeg's Dakota Crossing neighbourhood presents a compelling blend of modern build, generous space, and a premium lot. Built in 2017, it is one of the newest homes on its street. Its key appeal lies in its above-average scale across several metrics: the 1,767 sqft living area is spacious for the city, but it's the 12,855 sqft lot that truly stands out, placing it in the top tier for land size both locally and city-wide. The home features an attached garage and a renovated basement. It last sold in August 2022 for $640,000, and its current assessed value is notably above average for its immediate area.
This property would suit buyers looking for a relatively new build who prioritize outdoor space and room to grow over having the absolute largest house on the block. It’s ideal for a family seeking a established, low-maintenance home in a suburban setting with the added benefit of a vast, private yard—a rarity for homes of this vintage. The above-average assessments for the street and neighbourhood also suggest it's a solid, value-retaining asset in its community.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to a typical city lot?
The lot is exceptionally large at nearly 13,000 sqft. For perspective, the average lot in Winnipeg is about 6,570 sqft, and in Dakota Crossing it's approximately 5,526 sqft. This places the property in the top 3% city-wide for land area.
2. Is the home considered large for the area?
The living space is above average for Winnipeg and Dakota Crossing, but is actually slightly below the average for Dacquay Crescent itself. This indicates the street consists of larger homes, but this property compensates with a much newer build date and a significantly larger lot than its neighbours.
3. What does the "renovated basement" entail?
The listing confirms a renovated basement exists, but specific details on finish quality, layout, or permits are not provided here. This would be a key point for a buyer to investigate directly with the seller or their agent.
4. The 2022 sale price was $640,000, but the assessed value is much lower. Why?
Assessed value (here $59.70k for the building and land) is set by the municipal government for taxation purposes and is not an indicator of current market value. It should not be compared directly to a past or potential sale price.
5. What is the neighbourhood context of Dakota Crossing?
The provided data shows homes in Dakota Crossing generally have a higher average living area and assessed value compared to the Winnipeg city-wide average. This suggests it's a neighbourhood of relatively newer, more substantial suburban homes, with this property ranking well within that context.
