Property Overview: 14 Acadia Bay, Fort Richmond
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a well-maintained, one-storey home built in 1969, situated on a spacious 6,267 sqft lot in the established Fort Richmond neighbourhood. With 1,158 sqft of living space and a renovated basement, it offers practical, single-level living. The home lacks a garage or pool, emphasizing its focus on essentials and yard space.
Its primary appeal lies in its balance of a generous city-wide lot size and a below-average assessed value, suggesting potential value in the land and a manageable tax burden. The home is older than many on its own street, which can indicate a more mature streetscape and established landscaping. It suits first-time buyers, downsizers, or practical investors looking for a solid entry into a quiet, mature neighbourhood without premium features. A thoughtful perspective is that while the living space is modest for the immediate area, its lot size is notably larger than the Winnipeg average, offering valuable outdoor space or future potential that isn't reflected in its current price point.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the home’s value compare to the area?
The home’s assessed value is below the average for both Acadia Bay and Fort Richmond, which may indicate a favourable property tax assessment relative to neighbours, but it is near the city-wide average for comparable homes.
2. Is the lot size typical?
The lot is below average for the immediate street and neighbourhood, but it ranks in the top 26% city-wide, meaning it is actually larger than most comparable lots across Winnipeg.
3. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope. This would require clarification on the finish quality, permitted additions, and whether it includes a separate entrance or suite potential.
4. How old is this home compared to others nearby?
Built in 1969, it is older than about 75% of the homes on Acadia Bay, making it one of the original houses on the street. This often means mature trees and a settled foundation, but also that major components like the roof or windows may be nearer to replacement age.
