23 Dunkirk Place

Property Overview

This one-and-a-half storey home at 23 Dunkirk Place, built in 1937, presents a classic Winnipeg character home with modern updates. Its key appeal lies in a renovated basement and a living space that, while modest for the immediate street, is notably above the city-wide average. The detached garage and a land size that is generous by urban standards add practical value. The home’s assessed value ranks in the elite top 5% citywide, suggesting strong intrinsic value and investment potential relative to the broader market.

It would suit a buyer looking for a home with established character in a mature neighbourhood, who values a move-in-ready basement and a manageable lot. It’s particularly suited for those who prioritize a home's financial assessment and city-wide standing over having the largest property on the block, making it a smart choice for a pragmatic first-time buyer or a downsizer seeking a solid, updated property without the premium for extreme size.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the home's size compare to others?
While the 1,587 sqft living area is below the average for Dunkirk Place and Kingston Crescent, it ranks above average city-wide. This indicates a comfortable size for urban living, though it may feel cozy compared to some larger neighbouring homes.

2. What does the "Elite" assessed value ranking mean?
Ranking in the top 5% city-wide for assessed value means this home is assessed higher than 95% of properties in Winnipeg. This often reflects a combination of the home's condition, improvements (like the renovated basement), and its location, suggesting it is a substantial asset from a municipal valuation perspective.

3. Is the lot size a disadvantage?
At 6,296 sqft, the lot is smaller than most on the street and in the area. However, it is still above the city-wide average. This translates to less yard maintenance than larger lots but also less private outdoor space than some immediate neighbours have.

4. The home was built in 1937. What should I consider?
While the basement has been renovated, the core structure is nearly 90 years old. Prospective buyers should prioritize a thorough inspection to understand the condition of original elements like the foundation, plumbing, electrical systems, and the main-floor structure, which are not detailed here.

5. Can I get the exact historical sale price?
The listed sale price from 2019 is an estimated range. The exact sale price is available by request from the listing service, which provides the figure manually via email without using your address for unsolicited marketing.
