Property Overview
This home at 95 Fulton Street in Winnipeg's Dakota Crossing neighborhood presents a compelling blend of space, value, and potential. Its key appeal lies in the substantial 8,253 sqft lot, which is exceptionally large for the area, offering rare outdoor space and privacy for a 1997-built home. The house itself, at 1,485 sqft with a renovated basement and attached garage, provides comfortable, modern living space that is competitively sized for the neighborhood and city. The property's assessed value consistently ranks above average across local comparisons, suggesting a strong perceived value relative to its peers.
It would particularly suit buyers prioritizing yard space for children, gardening, or future expansion over a brand-new build. It's also a solid match for value-conscious purchasers seeking a home that stands out in its immediate area for land size without a premium typically associated with such lots. The renovated basement adds functional living space, appealing to those needing a flexible layout for a home office, gym, or secondary living area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the lot size compare to nearby properties?
A: The lot is a standout feature. At over 8,250 sqft, it ranks in the top 1% on its own street and the top 7% in the wider Dakota Crossing area, offering significantly more outdoor space than most comparable homes.
Q: Is the home's assessed value in line with its last sale price?
A: The home sold for $540,000 in late 2021. Its current assessed value of $53,300 is for taxation purposes only and is not a market valuation. The sale price from 2021 provides a more relevant benchmark for current market value.
Q: What does the "above average" assessed value ranking mean?
A: It indicates that, for tax purposes, this property is assessed higher than many peers in its immediate area, city-wide, and on its street. This often reflects desirable attributes (like the large lot and renovations) but does not directly predict sale price.
Q: Is the living space considered large for the area?
A: At 1,485 sqft, the living area is very close to the average for both Fulton Street and Dakota Crossing. The home offers standard-sized interiors, with the property's primary advantage being the land, not an unusually large house footprint.
Q: The home was built in 1997. Is that older for this neighborhood?
A: No, 1997 is right at the average build year for both Fulton Street and Dakota Crossing. This suggests the home is in a well-established part of the neighborhood with mature landscaping, and it is notably newer than the Winnipeg city-wide average.
