Property Overview: 734 Sturgeon Road, Heritage Park, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home at 734 Sturgeon Road presents a compelling blend of space, modern age, and established neighbourhood value. Its key characteristic is its above-average living space (1,952 sq ft), which ranks within the top 6% of homes in the Heritage Park area, offering more room than most local comparables. Built in 1986, it is a notably newer construction for the street and the wider city, potentially meaning fewer concerns with outdated major systems compared to much of Winnipeg's housing stock.
The appeal lies in its strong positional metrics within a desirable context. It sits on a manageable 8,556 sq ft lot in Heritage Park—larger than the city average but offering less maintenance than some larger plots on its own street. The home’s assessed value places it in the elite top 5% for the neighbourhood, suggesting it is perceived as a higher-value property in the area. A renovated basement adds functional living space. This property would suit buyers looking for a move-in-ready, spacious family home in a mature neighbourhood without the typical upkeep of an older century home. It’s also a sensible choice for value-conscious buyers who appreciate a home that stands out positively against local and city-wide benchmarks for size and modernity.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare?
While the land area is above average for both Heritage Park and Winnipeg overall, it is smaller than the typical lot on Sturgeon Road itself. This could be seen as a benefit for those wanting less yard maintenance, but a consideration for those prioritizing maximum outdoor space.
2. What does the "Elite" assessed value ranking mean?
The home is ranked in the top 5% of properties in Heritage Park by assessed value. This generally indicates it is considered a higher-value home for tax purposes within the neighbourhood, which can reflect desirable features, condition, or location, but is also directly tied to municipal property tax calculations.
3. The sold price history shows a range. What's the exact figure?
The public record shows a sold price range. For the precise historical sale price, you can request it via email from the listing source. They provide this detail manually and state they do not use email addresses for unsolicited marketing.
4. Is a 1986-built home considered "new" in Winnipeg?
In context, yes. With the average Winnipeg home built around 1966 and the average on this street from 1973, a 1986 build is relatively modern. It ranks in the top 4% for year built on Sturgeon Road, suggesting it’s one of the newest homes in the immediate vicinity.
5. There's no garage. Is that typical?
The listing notes no garage. This is not uncommon, but buyers should consider on-street parking or the potential cost/space to add a garage or carport if needed, as the lot size, while good, is not the largest on the street.
