Property Overview
10 Dunkirk Place is a well-situated, one-storey home in the Kingston Crescent area. Its appeal lies in offering a balanced, grounded package rather than standing out in any single extreme. The home features a renovated basement and an attached garage on a notably generous, private lot. While its living space is modest for the immediate street, it is comfortably above the Winnipeg average, suggesting efficient use of square footage. The 1966 build date is relatively newer compared to many homes in the established neighbourhood. This property doesn't chase luxury metrics but presents a solid, updated foundation in a prime location, with a lot size that offers rare potential for expansion or outdoor enjoyment within the city.
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer
The home’s key characteristic is its balance. It sits on a large, approximately 9,800 sqft lot that ranks in the top 7% citywide for land area, offering a standout level of privacy and space for gardens, recreation, or future additions. The renovated basement adds modern, functional living space. Its assessed value is moderate for the area, positioning it as a accessible entry point into a desirable neighbourhood.
Its appeal is for the practical buyer who values land and location over sheer interior size. It would suit a young family looking for room to grow outdoors, a downsizer seeking single-level living without sacrificing yard space, or an investor/renovator who sees the value in the lot and the already-completed basement update. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home's footprint is average on its street, the superior lot size provides a unique opportunity not easily found in newer subdivisions, appealing to those with long-term vision.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living area compare to nearby homes?
At 1,596 sqft, the living area is slightly below the average for Dunkirk Place itself but is above the overall Winnipeg average.

2. What does the assessed value tell me about this property?
