Property Overview
This well-situated Kern Park home presents a classic Winnipeg opportunity. Built in 1952, it's a one-storey house with a renovated basement and a detached garage. Its primary appeal lies in its generous 6,700 sqft lot, which ranks within the top 4% of the Kern Park neighbourhood, offering significant outdoor space that is increasingly rare. The home itself, at 1,018 sqft, is comfortably sized for the area, while its assessed value sits above average for both the street and the neighbourhood, suggesting it is well-regarded in its local market context.
This property would suit a buyer looking for a solid, no-frills home with exceptional lot size, perfect for gardening, expansion, or simply enjoying private outdoor space. It’s also a fit for those who value a renovated basement for extra living area and appreciate the character and established feel of the Kern Park community. A thoughtful perspective is that while the living space is modest city-wide, the lot represents a long-term asset; the land itself may hold as much value as the structure for future potential.
