Property Overview: 158 Enfield Crescent, Norwood East, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home stands out in the Norwood East neighborhood for its generous proportions, both in living space and land. With over 2,000 square feet of living area, it ranks in the top 4% of the neighborhood for size, offering significantly more room than the local average. The lot is an even more distinctive feature, at 8,606 square feet, placing it in the elite top 2% of the area. This combination suggests a property with ample indoor space and considerable outdoor potential.
Its appeal lies in this rare balance of a sizable, classic home (built in 1941) on a much larger-than-typical urban lot. It suits buyers looking for established character and space to grow, garden, or entertain privately. The assessed value is above average for the immediate street and neighborhood, reflecting these premium features, while remaining around the citywide average. This profile would particularly suit a growing family seeking room without moving to the suburbs, or a buyer valuing outdoor space for hobbies, gardening, or future additions.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the home’s age affect its value and potential?
Built in 1941, the home is typical for its established street but is older than the Winnipeg average. This suggests a neighborhood with classic charm but also means prospective buyers should budget for updates and a thorough inspection of aging components like plumbing, electrical, and the roof.
2. The lot is unusually large for the area. What are the implications?
The expansive lot is a major asset, offering privacy, space for recreation, or landscape projects that are rare in central neighborhoods. It could also provide future potential, subject to city zoning, for additions like a garage, workshop, or larger deck. Property taxes may be influenced by this premium land value.
3. The assessed value is above the local average, but the last sold price seems lower. Why?
The home last sold in 2019 for an estimated $300k-$350k, which was below the current assessed value of $408k. This difference likely reflects market appreciation over five years and the assessed value for taxation purposes. For an accurate current market value, consultation with a local realtor and review of recent comparable sales is essential.
4. What does the "Elite" ranking for lot size and living area actually mean?
These rankings compare the property directly to hundreds of nearby homes. "Elite" (top 2-4%) means you are getting more space—both indoors and outdoors—than almost all other properties in Norwood East. It’s a quantifiable measure of the home’s standout features in the local context.
5. How can I verify the exact historical sale prices?
The provided sold price is an estimated range from public records. For fully verified and exact transaction history, you would need to request a manual lookup from the site via email or consult the official MLS data through a licensed real estate professional.
