Property Overview: 43 Dobrinsky Drive
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-situated one-storey home in Leila-Mcphillips Triangle offers a compelling blend of space, location, and value. Its key strength is an exceptionally large, private lot—at nearly 9,500 sqft, it ranks in the top 3% on its street and top 8% in the neighbourhood, providing rare potential for gardening, expansion, or outdoor living. The 1,130 sqft living area is above average for the immediate area, and the home benefits from a renovated basement and an attached garage.
Built in 1991, the property is notably newer than many city-wide comparables, suggesting potentially fewer major age-related concerns. Its appeal lies in this solid foundation: a move-in ready home on a premium lot that outperforms most local peers in terms of land size and modern build. It would suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable single-level layout without sacrificing yard space, as well as value-conscious buyers who see long-term potential in a large, versatile property.
A less obvious perspective is the financial positioning. The home’s assessed value is strong for its street but sits around the city-wide average, which could indicate room for value growth in a neighbourhood that’s holding its own. It represents a practical choice for those prioritizing land and livability over sheer square footage.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to a typical city lot?
The lot is approximately 9,470 sqft, which is significantly larger than the Winnipeg city-wide average of about 6,570 sqft and more than double the average lot size on Dobrinsky Drive itself.
2. What is the significance of the home’s age being "above average"?
Built in 1991, the home is newer than the median Winnipeg home (built around 1966). This often translates to building materials, electrical, and plumbing systems that are closer to modern standards, which can mean lower immediate repair costs.
3. The sold price history shows a range. How can I get the exact figure?
The exact sold price is available by request. You can provide your email via the button on the listing page, and the accurate price will be sent manually, typically by the end of the same business day, with no marketing spam.
4. Who would this property not be ideal for?
It may not suit buyers seeking a brand-new build, a multi-storey layout, or those whose priority is a top-tier, elite-ranked living area city-wide. The living space is comfortable and above average for the street, but modest compared to the largest city homes.
5. What do the rankings (e.g., Top 14%) actually mean?
These percentiles show how this property compares to a defined group. For example, "Top 14% for Living Area on Dobrinsky Drive" means 86% of comparable homes on the street have less living space. It’s a quick way to gauge relative standing.
