Property Overview
56 Robindale Road is a substantial, modern property in Winnipeg's Roblin Park neighbourhood. Its appeal lies in the rare combination of a large, contemporary home on an exceptionally generous lot. Built in 2011, this one-storey home offers nearly 2,400 sqft of finished living space, including a developed basement, and sits on a private, half-acre lot (over 20,750 sqft). The property ranks in the top tier across nearly every metric for its street, community, and the entire city, particularly for lot size, living area, and assessed value. It suits buyers looking for move-in-ready, spacious living without the upkeep of an older home, and who prioritize outdoor privacy and room to expand or landscape. A thoughtful perspective is that while many newer builds sit on smaller lots, this property offers a "legacy" lot size more common to older neighbourhoods, but with a modern home's efficiencies and low-maintenance exterior.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What is the garage configuration?
The property features a split garage, which typically allows for separate bay doors and can offer more flexible storage or workshop space than a single large door.
2. How does the assessed value compare to the likely listing price?
With an assessed value of $909,000 placing it in the top 1% city-wide, the listing price is expected to be premium, reflecting its top-tier rankings in size, modernity, and lot.
3. Is the yard fully usable, given the lot size?
At over 20,000 sqft, the lot is exceptionally large for Winnipeg. Buyers should verify the topography and any easements, but it presents unique potential for pools, sports courts, or extensive landscaping.
4. What are the property taxes?
Taxes are not listed here but can be estimated directly from the assessed value. Given the high assessment, prospective buyers should budget for correspondingly high property taxes.
5. Why does a 15-year-old home rank so highly for being "new"?
Its 2011 build date ranks in the top 3% on its street because Roblin Park is an established neighbourhood with mostly older homes. This highlights the rarity of a relatively modern home in this area.
