Property Overview
This home at 2 Beaumont Bay in Maybank offers a compelling mix of space, location, and value within its immediate neighborhood. Its key appeal lies in its strong standing on Beaumont Bay itself, where it ranks well above average for both living area (1,032 sq ft) and lot size (4,036 sq ft) compared to its direct street peers. Built in 1954, it is one of the older homes on the street, which may appeal to those seeking a well-established, character area. The assessed value is modest, especially when compared to the city-wide average, suggesting a potentially accessible entry point into a stable area.
The property would suit a first-time buyer or a downsizer looking for a manageable-sized home with a generous yard in a mature neighborhood. It’s a practical choice for someone whose primary comparison is within the local area rather than the broader city, where its metrics are more average. A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents a "big fish in a small pond" scenario—it offers above-average attributes for Beaumont Bay, which might provide a greater sense of value and space than a similarly priced home in a neighborhood with larger average lots.

On its own street, Beaumont Bay, this home ranks highly for size—it's in the top 7% for living area and top 21% for lot size among 67 comparable properties. It feels more spacious and private than many immediate neighbors. However, within the wider Maybank area and city, these features are closer to or below the average.

4. Is the lot size a pro or a con?
It's a relative strength. At over 4,000 sq ft, the lot is larger than most on Beaumont Bay, offering good outdoor space. However, lots in other parts of Winnipeg are often larger, so its appeal is most pronounced within the immediate local context.
