Property Overview: 92 Orum Drive, Grassie, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-storey home at 92 Orum Drive is a practical property that stands out for its generous lot size and solid foundation. Built in 1999, it offers a modern-enough build while avoiding the premium of brand-new construction. The home’s key feature is its 7,618 sqft lot, which is notably larger than most in the immediate area and across Winnipeg, offering valuable outdoor space and potential.
Its appeal lies in this balance. The living space (1,185 sqft) is functional and slightly below average for the street, suggesting a home that is easier to maintain. The renovated basement adds usable square footage. With an attached garage and no pool, it’s a low-fuss, grounded property. The assessed value positions it as a sound, mid-range investment citywide.
This home would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable single-level layout without sacrificing yard space. It’s also a sensible fit for value-oriented buyers who see potential in the sizable lot—whether for gardening, future expansion, or simply enjoying more privacy than typically found in the neighbourhood.
