28 Haresford Crescent

Property Overview: 28 Haresford Crescent, Meadowood, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1,180 sqft bungalow, built in 1983, presents a solid, no-surprises offering in the established Meadowood neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in its relative modernity compared to its immediate surroundings—it is the newest home on its street—which may suggest updated building materials and systems. The living space is comfortably above average for the Meadowood area, offering more room than many local comparables.

The property sits on a standard 5,317 sqft lot and carries an assessed value that is consistent with the local market. This creates a profile of a home that is not an outlier in size, value, or land, but one that holds a subtle advantage in its newer construction date within its micro-market. It would suit practical buyers looking for a move-in ready, low-drama home in a mature neighbourhood, potentially appealing to first-time homeowners, small families, or downsizers who prioritize a single-level layout and a stable community over a flashy or custom property. Its balanced metrics suggest it’s a home you buy to live in, not to immediately renovate or flip.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does it mean that this is the "newest" home on the street?
While built in 1983, it ranks as the most recently built among the 22 homes on Haresford Crescent. This is a relative advantage, potentially indicating less wear on core components like the roof, windows, or foundation compared to older neighbours, but a professional inspection is still essential.

2. How does the assessed value relate to the likely selling price?
The assessed value of $39,300 is for municipal tax purposes. The historical sold price range from 2017 ($300k-$350k) and current market conditions are more relevant indicators of its potential market value. The assessment suggests it is not an unusually high-tax burden for the area.

3. Is the living space considered large?
At 1,180 sqft, it is above the neighbourhood average (top 27% in Meadowood), offering more interior space than many similar area homes. However, it is slightly below the city-wide average for homes, framing it as spacious for its immediate locale but not a particularly large home for Winnipeg overall.

4. What are the implications of the lot size?
The lot is just over 5,300 sqft, which is very typical for the street and area. It provides standard suburban backyard space for gardening or recreation but is not an unusually large or small parcel, reflecting the neighbourhood's consistent layout.

5. Who were the previous comparable sales provided for reference?
The listed nearby properties (e.g., 149 Hawkins Crescent) are for quick reference on size, age, and value in the vicinity. They are not necessarily identical in condition or features but help establish the general character and price range of the Meadowood area.
