Property Overview
This one-storey home at 11 Findlay Place in Inkster Gardens presents a practical and value-conscious opportunity. Its key appeal lies in offering more space than many comparable properties, both indoors and out, at a very accessible price point.
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer
The 1,115 sqft living area is notably above average for its immediate street and neighbourhood, providing comfortable room for a small family or someone needing a home office or hobby space. A significant, less obvious advantage is the 6,512 sqft lot, which ranks in the top 10% for the Inkster Gardens area, offering substantial outdoor potential. The home features a renovated basement, adding functional living space. Built in 1986, it is newer than most homes city-wide. With no garage or pool, the property emphasizes low-maintenance, straightforward living.
Its appeal is strongest for first-time homebuyers or practical investors seeking a solid entry into the Winnipeg market with room to grow. The below-average assessed value for the neighbourhood suggests a potentially lower property tax burden, which will attract budget-conscious buyers. The large lot is a standout feature for those who value private outdoor space, garden potential, or future expansion over interior upgrades.
