Property Overview
This 1984-built, four-level split home in Elmhurst offers a practical and spacious family layout on a large, nearly 5,800 sqft lot. Its key features include a finished basement, an in-ground pool, and an attached garage. With nearly 1,500 sqft of living space, the home provides ample room. The appeal lies in its established neighborhood setting, the rare combination of a generous yard with a pool for private recreation, and the flexibility of a multi-level floor plan. It particularly suits buyers looking for a ready-to-enjoy outdoor space in summer, those who value the character and larger lot sizes of 1980s builds, and families who appreciate defined living areas across split levels. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home ranks above average in value for Winnipeg overall, its interior size is more modest relative to the lot, highlighting the property's strength as an outdoor-centric living space.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others in the immediate area?
The data shows a mixed picture. It has a larger lot than most on its street but a slightly smaller interior footprint than many of its neighbors. Its overall assessed value is higher than over half the homes on the street, suggesting it is a solid contender in its local market.
2. Is the pool a major factor in the home's value and upkeep?
Absolutely. The pool is a significant luxury feature that provides immediate summer enjoyment but also requires seasonal maintenance, insurance considerations, and has associated operating costs. It is a prime feature for the right buyer.
3. What does the "4-level split" layout typically mean for daily living?
This style often creates distinct zones, potentially separating living, sleeping, and recreational areas across short flights of stairs. It can offer good separation and privacy but may be less suitable for those seeking single-level living or open-concept flows.
4. The home is over 40 years old. What should I be mindful of?
While the home ranks as newer than many in Winnipeg, a build year of 1984 means essential systems (like roof, windows, furnace, and plumbing) are at an age where inspection is crucial to understand their condition and remaining lifespan.
5. The rankings show strong value for Winnipeg overall. What's the catch?
The home performs very well in city-wide rankings for value and size. The trade-off is that within its own established community of Elmhurst, it faces more competition, ranking closer to average on some metrics. This indicates you are paying for a desirable neighborhood location as much as the property itself.
