Built in 1960, it is newer than many of its direct neighbors, potentially suggesting fewer immediate concerns with aging infrastructure common to the area. The lot size is generous by city-wide standards, offering good outdoor space. Recent sales data indicates strong market activity. Its appeal lies in this combination of relative size, updates, and a stable, established neighborhood setting.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the living area truly compare?
While the home's square footage is in the top third city-wide, its key advantage is locally. It ranks in the top 4% on Kirkfield Street itself, meaning it offers significantly more interior space than most direct neighbors, which is a considerable perk in this area.
What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope. Buyers should inquire about the finish quality, the presence of proper permits, and whether it includes added bedrooms, a legal suite, or simply improved living and storage space.
Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the selling price?
Not directly. The assessed value (approximately $32,200) is for municipal tax purposes. The recent sold price range (approximately $355,000 - $385,000 in early 2024) is a far more accurate reflection of current market value, showing the home trades significantly above its assessment.
What are the implications of the home's age (1960)?
Being built in 1960 places it in the mid-century era. While newer than many on the street, prospective buyers should still prioritize inspections for original components that may be near end-of-life, such as the roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and insulation standards.
How does the lot size impact future potential?
The lot is over 6,000 sqft, which is above average for Winnipeg. This provides not only ample yard space but also potential for future additions, landscaping projects, or outdoor amenities, subject to local zoning bylaws.
