Property Overview & Appeal
This well-established Elmhurst bungalow sits on a generous, mature lot in a quiet bay. Its key appeal lies in a combination of space, location, and value. The 1,023 sqft home features a finished basement and a split garage, offering practical living space. The standout characteristic is the large 7,278 sqft property, providing ample outdoor privacy and potential. Built in 1969, the home is notably newer than most on its street. Its assessed value positions it as a mid-range option within Winnipeg, suggesting a grounded entry point into a desirable neighborhood.
The property suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable single-story layout with room to grow outdoors. It’s also a fit for value-conscious buyers looking for a home in a mature area without the premium of a recently built property. A thoughtful perspective is the advantage of a home that is newer than its immediate neighbors, potentially meaning fewer major age-related repairs compared to other houses on the block. The large lot is a long-term asset, offering green space now and future possibilities.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the ranking data actually mean?
The rankings show how this property compares to others in specific areas. For example, being newer than 97% of houses on its street is a strong advantage, while its lot size ranks highly across the entire city, indicating a premium feature.
2. Is the finished basement included in the 1,023 sqft living area?
No, typically the listed "living area" refers to above-ground, finished space. The finished basement is an additional area, adding functional square footage to the home's total usable space.
3. What are the implications of a 1969 build year?
Homes from this era often have solid construction but may feature original or aging components like windows, roofing, or major systems (heating, electrical) that could be due for updates or inspection.
4. Who might this property NOT suit?
It may not suit buyers seeking a modern, open-concept layout or those unwilling to consider updates. The living area is modest relative to the lot size, so buyers prioritizing vast interior space over land might look elsewhere.
5. How does the split garage affect usage?
A split garage (often two separate single doors) can limit the ability to park wider vehicles or use the space as a single workshop area, but it can also offer more flexible storage organization.
