Property Overview
This 1973-built, one-storey home on a large 6,489 sqft lot in Winnipeg's Marlton area offers a practical, grounded living option. Its key appeal lies in its spacious, private yard—a significant asset for families, pet owners, or gardening enthusiasts—paired with the convenience of a fully finished basement and an attached garage. With 1,130 sqft of living space, it suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable single-level layout without sacrificing outdoor room.
The home’s competitive positioning is nuanced. While its overall size and assessed value rank solidly above average for Winnipeg, it sits in a neighbourhood and on a street with many larger or newer homes, making it a more modest option within its immediate context. This creates an opportunity for a buyer who values a substantial lot and a quiet crescent location but doesn’t require a large or modern house. It’s ideally suited for a practical buyer who sees potential in the land and the finished basement, and who is comfortable with a home from the 1970s.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to typical properties?
At 6,489 sqft, the lot is significantly larger than the average for Winnipeg, ranking in the top 23% city-wide. This is one of the property's strongest features, offering ample outdoor space.
2. What is the significance of the neighborhood ranking data?
The data shows the home is more modest compared to its closest neighbors. It ranks in the bottom half of its immediate street and community for size, value, and recent sale price, suggesting it's a more affordable entry point into this specific area.
3. Is the finished basement included in the listed living area?
No. The 1,130 sqft living area refers to the above-ground space. The finished basement provides additional usable rooms but is not counted in that official square footage.
4. The home was last sold in 2019. What does that sale price indicate?
The 2019 sale price of $296,000 was below average for the city and area at that time, consistent with the home's trend of being a value-oriented option. The current assessed value has risen to $377,000.
5. What are the practical implications of a 1973 build date?
While systems and structure should be sound, a home of this age will likely have had some updates and will require ongoing maintenance. Prospective buyers should budget for potential updates to roofing, windows, or major mechanical systems, balanced against the benefit of a well-established neighborhood and mature landscaping.
