Property Overview: 26 Oberlin Road, Fort Richmond, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home in Fort Richmond offers a practical and above-average living space. With 1,920 sqft of living area, it provides more room than most homes on its street, in the neighbourhood, and across Winnipeg. A key feature is the renovated basement, adding immediate functional space without the need for a major project. The home is situated on a standard-sized lot for the city, but it’s slightly more compact compared to its immediate neighbours, which can mean less yard maintenance.
Its primary appeal lies in its solid, move-in-ready foundation within a mature community. The home’s assessed value ranks highly for the area, suggesting it is a substantial property in its market tier. It would suit buyers looking for a spacious, established home without the premium for a large lot. It’s particularly well-matched for growing families or professionals who value interior space and a finished basement over extensive outdoor grounds. The attached garage and the home’s consistent value history add to its practical, no-surprises profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare?
The lot is 6,504 sqft, which is above average city-wide but slightly smaller than most direct neighbours on Oberlin Road. This typically translates to a manageable yard with less upkeep.
2. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the finishes or layout. This is a key detail to clarify with the listing agent to understand the quality and functionality of the space.
3. Is the price consistent with recent sales?
Based on available data, the last two sales in 2020 and 2021 were within a similar price range. The current assessed value is higher than those past sale prices, which is common as assessments try to reflect current market values.
4. What are the implications of the home's age?
Built in 1967, the home is older than many in Fort Richmond but around the average age for Winnipeg. While it has a renovated basement, the age suggests potential attention may be needed to major original systems like plumbing, electrical, or the roof over time.
5. How can I get the exact historical sale prices?
The exact sold prices are not publicly displayed. You can request them directly via the "Get exact sold price history" feature on the listing page by providing your email address. The service promises to provide the figures manually without using your email for marketing.
