Property Overview: 3 Oakglen Place, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-storey home in Leila-Mcphillips Triangle is a practical property that balances modest size with a desirable, newer build. At 1,380 sqft of living space, it is notably smaller than its immediate neighbours on Oakglen Place but aligns more closely with the average home size across Winnipeg. Its key feature is its age; built in 1995, it is newer than most homes in its neighbourhood and city-wide, which can suggest updated building standards and potentially lower immediate maintenance needs. The home sits on a 6,329 sqft lot, which is above average for the city, offering good outdoor space. It includes an attached garage and a renovated basement.
The appeal lies in its efficiency and position as a relatively modern home in an established area. It suits first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable, single-level layout without the upkeep concerns of an older property. The above-average lot size for the city is a less obvious advantage, providing room for gardens, recreation, or future expansion that can be harder to find in newer subdivisions. It represents a value-oriented entry into a mature neighbourhood, rather than a luxury purchase.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the size of this home compare to others?
While the living area is below average for its specific street, it is very close to the average size of a Winnipeg home. This indicates a more efficient, potentially easier-to-maintain footprint compared to larger neighbouring houses.
2. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing notes a renovated basement, but the specific finishes and scope are not detailed. A professional inspection or inquiry with the listing agent is recommended to understand the quality, permits, and nature of the renovation.
3. Is the assessed value a good indicator of the selling price?
The assessed value for municipal taxes ($42.80k) is a legal and administrative figure, not a market appraisal. Recent sold price data (from 2018 and 2022) for this property shows transactions significantly higher, indicating market value is driven by broader factors. Always rely on a comparative market analysis for pricing.
4. What are the pros and cons of it being a newer build on the street?
A pro is potentially newer major components (like roofing, wiring) than older neighbours. A less obvious con is that its smaller size and different character might not follow the same appreciation pattern as the larger, possibly more premium homes on the same block.
5. How can I get the exact historical sold prices?
The exact sold prices are not published in the public record. As noted on the detail page, you can request this information directly via email from the service, which manually retrieves and provides the precise figures.
