Its appeal lies in this combination of space, privacy, and a mature neighborhood setting.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the true value of the home’s size rankings?
While the home ranks in the top 2% of Winnipeg for size, this means you're getting a property that is physically larger than nearly all others on the market. This is a tangible, unchangeable asset that often holds long-term value better than cosmetic features.
2. The home is 43 years old. What should I budget for?
Given its age, a thorough inspection is essential. While major systems may have been updated, budgeting for potential updates to the roof, windows, or original mechanical systems (like the furnace) is a prudent part of your evaluation.
3. How does the lot size impact maintenance and potential?
A 14,381 sqft lot offers great privacy and space, but also requires more time or resources for lawn care and landscaping. It also presents future potential for additions, a large garden, or recreational spaces, subject to local bylaws.
4. The home ranks highly for size but lower for age in the community. What does this mean?
This indicates you are in a mature neighborhood where many homes are of a similar vintage. The trade-off is less modern construction but often more established landscaping, settled communities, and larger lot sizes than newer subdivisions.
5. Is the finished basement included in the 3,514 sqft living area?
Typically, the listed living area (sqft) in Manitoba includes above-grade finished space. The developed basement adds significant additional living area, but it's important to confirm the exact square footage and quality of the basement finish during a viewing.
