Property Overview
This 1981 four-level split at 813 Cathcart Street in Elmhurst offers a practical and spacious family home. Its key appeal lies in its generous 1,836 sqft of living space, which ranks in the top 3% for size on its own street and well above average for both the neighbourhood and Winnipeg overall. The home features a renovated basement and an attached garage. The lot is a comfortable 6,808 sqft, providing ample outdoor space that is larger than the citywide average. With an assessed value that sits above average for its immediate area, the property represents a solid, established home in a mature neighbourhood.
It would suit buyers looking for more room than is typical in the area without moving to a newer suburb. It’s ideal for a family that values distinct living levels for separation and privacy, and for those who appreciate a home that has been updated (as seen in the basement) while still having the character and settled feel of an Elmhurst street. The data suggests it’s a home for someone prioritizing interior space over having the newest build on the block.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the home’s age affect its value?
Built in 1981, it is newer than most homes on its street (ranking in the top 5%), which is a positive. While not a new build, this era of home often avoids the major maintenance issues of much older properties while being situated in a well-established area with mature landscaping.
Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the sale price?
The assessed value is for municipal tax purposes. The home last sold in 2020 for $410,000, which was above the citywide average sale price at that time. Market conditions, recent renovations, and specific buyer demand will determine the final sale price.
What are the benefits of a four-level split layout?
This style offers natural separation of living spaces, which is great for families. It can allow for a quiet upper-level bedroom retreat, main living areas on the mid-levels, and a recreational space in the renovated basement, all with minimal hallway space.
How does the lot size compare?
At 6,808 sqft, the lot is above the citywide average but around the average for Elmhurst and Cathcart Street. This means you get a very good-sized yard for Winnipeg, typical for the immediate neighbourhood, with plenty of room for gardening, play, or entertaining.
What does the "Elite" or "Above Average" ranking mean for living space?
These rankings are comparative. The living area isn't just large; it's significantly larger than most direct neighbours (top 3% on the street) and homes across Elmhurst. This indicates you are getting notably more interior space than is typical for the area, which is a key advantage of this property.
