Property Overview: 94 Culross Bay, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 94 Culross Bay in the Meadows neighbourhood presents a compelling blend of space, vintage, and value. Built in 1984, its standout feature is its generous 1,522 sqft of living area, which ranks in the top 13% for size on its own street and well above average for both the neighbourhood and the wider city. This suggests a home that offers more room than many of its peers, a significant advantage for growing families or those wanting flexible space.
The appeal lies in this balance. While the assessed value is consistently around the median for its various comparison groups, you receive a notably larger interior without a proportionally higher price tag. The lot size is typical for the area, and the home's age is a relative strength—it's one of the newer homes on Culross Bay. This combination suits practical buyers looking for established-character homes without sacrificing square footage. It’s ideal for those who prioritize interior space over a massive yard and appreciate a home that has likely seen fewer major systems replacements than much older stock, yet offers the settled feel of a mature community.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the sold price from 2022 relate to the current assessed value?
The home sold for an estimated $400k-$450k in 2022. Its current assessed value is significantly lower, as municipal assessments in Manitoba are not intended to reflect current market value but are used for property tax calculation. The sale price is a better indicator of its recent market worth.
2. What does the "Elite" ranking for Year Built on the street mean?
Ranking in the top 4% for year built on Culross Bay simply means this home (built in 1984) is one of the newest on the street. The average build year on the street is 1981, so it is slightly newer than most of its immediate neighbours, potentially indicating less wear on original components.
3. Is the living area size unusual for this area?
Yes. With 1,522 sqft, this home is substantially larger than the average comparable home in the Meadows area (1,286 sqft) and on its own street (1,205 sqft). This is its most distinguishing characteristic and a key point of value.
4. Who would this property not be as suitable for?
Buyers seeking a modern, turn-key home with recent renovations may find the 1980s vintage requires updates. Those prioritizing a very large private yard or a brand-new build in a freshly developed area might also want to look elsewhere.
