Property Overview
This one-and-a-half storey home on Conway Street in Deer Lodge presents a classic Winnipeg character home with modern updates. Its key appeal lies in offering above-average space and value within its immediate neighborhood. At 1,429 sqft of living area, the home is notably larger than most on its street and in Deer Lodge, providing generous room for a family. The renovated basement adds functional living space. While the home itself was built in 1946, the updates help offset the age, and it sits on a standard-sized city lot. A detached garage offers practical storage or parking.
The property is particularly well-suited for buyers looking for a move-in ready character home in a stable, established neighborhood, who prioritize interior space over a large yard. It also appeals to value-conscious buyers seeking a home that stands above its local peers in terms of square footage and recent investment, as evidenced by its above-average assessed value for the area.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare in size to others nearby?
This home is larger than most in its immediate vicinity. Its living area ranks in the top 11% on Conway Street and the top 18% in the Deer Lodge neighborhood, meaning it offers more interior space than the majority of comparable homes nearby.
2. What does the "renovated basement" entail?
The listing confirms the basement has been renovated, but specifics on finish quality, ceiling height, permits, or moisture control are not provided. This is a key detail to investigate during a viewing and with the seller.
3. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the likely sale price?
The municipal assessed value is $35,200, but this is for taxation purposes and is typically much lower than market value. A more relevant figure is the 2021 sale price of $38,900, though the market has likely shifted since. A current market evaluation is essential.
4. The home is older. What should I consider?
Built in 1946, the home is older than many on its street. While the basement has been renovated, potential buyers should pay close attention to the condition of major aging components not mentioned, such as the roof, wiring, plumbing, and foundation, during an inspection.
5. How does the lot size impact the property?
The land area is around 5,585 sqft, which is standard for the city but slightly below average for Conway Street. This means the yard space is typical for Winnipeg but may be somewhat smaller than the neighbors' plots. The focus here is more on the interior space of the home itself.
