Property Overview
This 1967-built bungalow in Roblin Park offers a distinct blend of space, location, and potential. Its primary appeal lies in its exceptionally large, approximately 12,500 sqft lot, which places it in the top 3% of all properties in Winnipeg for land size. The home itself is a manageable 1,352 sqft one-storey layout with a finished basement, situated on a quiet crescent. While the interior reflects its era and the assessment value is modest for the area, the property's standout characteristic is its immense green space in a well-established neighborhood. This home would particularly suit buyers who prioritize land over a turnkey modern house—think gardeners, families seeking room for play or expansion, or those looking for a long-term property where the value is anchored in the lot itself. It's a solid canvas for someone comfortable with gradual updates or who simply values generous outdoor privacy close to city amenities.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the ranking data actually mean?
The rankings compare this property to others on its street, in Roblin Park, and across all of Winnipeg. For example, being in the top 3% city-wide for lot size is a significant advantage, while the more average rankings for living space and age indicate a typical, well-sized bungalow for the area.
2. Why is the assessed value relatively low compared to the lot size?
Municipal assessments primarily reflect the current state and size of the home itself, along with market trends. The very high lot size ranking suggests the land is a substantial, under-improved asset. The assessment indicates potential for value growth through updates or expansion, making the current price point an entry into a premium-sized lot.
3. Is the lack of a garage a major drawback?
For some buyers, yes. However, the vast lot provides ample space to add a garage or workshop, subject to permits. This can be seen not just as a missing feature, but as a customizable opportunity to add exactly what you need.
4. What is the neighborhood feel of Roblin Park?
Roblin Park is a mature, family-friendly community with a mix of original and renovated homes. The large lot sizes on crescents like Pepperloaf contribute to a quiet, spacious, and private atmosphere, while remaining convenient to schools, parks, and major routes.
5. What should I consider about a home from 1967?
While the finished basement adds living space, the core systems (plumbing, electrical, roof) and insulation may be original or dated. A thorough inspection is essential. The floor plan will likely reflect 1960s layouts, which some buyers appreciate for their simplicity, while others may plan for future reconfiguration.
