Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This two-storey home on a large 8,284 sqft lot in Vialoux offers a compelling blend of space, modern age, and established value. Built in 2004, it is notably newer than most homes in its immediate area and across Winnipeg, ranking in the top 10% of its street for year built. Its appeal lies in its generous 2,106 sqft of living space, which surpasses over 90% of Winnipeg homes, combined with a finished basement and a detached garage. The property's assessed value of $677,000 places it in the top tier locally, indicating strong perceived market value and desirability.
The home suits buyers looking for a move-in ready, spacious family home in a mature neighbourhood without the maintenance concerns of an older property. It’s ideal for those who prioritize interior square footage and a large yard over a modern, open-concept floor plan (typical of its 2004 construction era). The high rankings across metrics suggest a property that is both a comfortable personal residence and a historically competitive asset within its broader market.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the "ranking" system work?
The rankings compare this specific property against others on the same street, in the Vialoux community, and across all of Winnipeg for key metrics like size, age, and assessed value. For example, being newer than 91% of homes on its street highlights its relative modernity in an established area.
2. What does the high assessment value relative to Winnipeg mean?
An assessment that surpasses 96% of Winnipeg homes indicates that the property is valued within the top tier of the market. This often reflects a combination of its above-average size, lot dimensions, condition, and the desirability of its location.
3. Is the detached garage a pro or a con?
This depends on buyer preference. A detached garage offers flexibility (e.g., for a workshop) and can reduce noise in the main house, but it is less convenient for accessing your vehicle in harsh weather compared to an attached garage.
4. The home is 20 years old – what should I consider?
While still modern compared to many Winnipeg homes, a 2004-built home is entering a period where original components (like the roof, HVAC system, or appliances) may be nearing the end of their typical lifespans. A thorough inspection is advised to anticipate any upcoming capital maintenance.
5. The lot is large, but what are the implications?
An 8,284 sqft lot provides excellent outdoor space for gardening, play, or future additions like a deck or shed. The trade-off is a greater responsibility for maintenance (lawn care, landscaping) and potentially higher associated costs and time investment.
