Property Overview: 102 Braintree Crescent, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-storey home in Jameswood presents a practical and well-situated offering. Its key characteristic is a recently renovated basement, adding modern living space to a 1957-built structure. With 1,029 sqft of living area and a 6,083 sqft lot, the home provides comfortable, single-level living with above-average outdoor space for the neighbourhood.
The appeal lies in its strong positional value within a mature, established community. The data reveals a thoughtful perspective: while the home's size is modest city-wide, it sits on a lot that is notably larger than many in Jameswood and Winnipeg overall. Furthermore, its year of construction is among the oldest on the street, which can indicate a well-regarded, original part of the neighbourhood with established landscaping and character. The assessed value is above average for Jameswood, suggesting the property is viewed favorably relative to its immediate peers, likely buoyed by the renovated basement and lot size.
This home would suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking the ease of a bungalow with updated living space, and who value a larger yard in a quiet crescent setting. It’s for buyers who prioritize location and lot over a brand-new build, appreciating the charm and maturity of a long-established area.
