Property Overview: 105 Greyfriars Road, Fort Richmond, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-storey home in Fort Richmond is a practical property that balances a modestly sized house with a generous, above-average city lot. Built in 1971, it is notably one of the newer homes on its street. The 946 sqft living area is compact, positioning it below average for the neighbourhood, which suggests a home focused on essential spaces rather than expansiveness. Its assessed value is moderate for the area. Key features include a renovated basement and a detached garage.
The appeal lies in its efficiency and lot potential. It suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable, single-level layout without a large maintenance burden. The sizable 7,147 sqft lot is a significant asset, offering ample outdoor space for gardening, recreation, or future expansion—a relative rarity citywide. Its newer build date for the street may imply fewer immediate major repairs compared to older peers. This is a home for those who value land over square footage, seeing potential in the property itself rather than in a large finished interior.
