Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This 1970-built bungalow in Roblin Park offers a rare combination of generous space and established charm. Its primary appeal lies in its substantial 12,536 sqft lot—a standout feature that ranks in the top 3% of all Winnipeg properties for land size. The home itself provides 1,692 sqft of living space, including a finished basement, and ranks comfortably above average in size for its street, neighborhood, and city. With an updated assessment value of $486,000, it sits in the top 20-30% of homes locally, suggesting solid intrinsic value.
The property’s appeal is multifaceted. It suits buyers looking for a single-story layout on a truly private, expansive lot with room for gardens, play, or future additions. Its strong rankings for lot size and living area, paired with a home that’s newer than most on its street, indicate a well-positioned property in a mature neighborhood. This home would particularly suit downsizers seeking main-floor living without sacrificing yard space, or growing families valuing both indoor square footage and unparalleled outdoor room in the city. A thoughtful perspective is the home’s "evolved stability"—it’s not the newest, but its above-average rankings across decades for size and value suggest a property that has consistently been a solid performer in its market tier.
