Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This two-storey home in Vialoux offers a classic layout with a fully finished basement and an attached garage, situated on a spacious 6,050 sqft lot. Its primary appeal lies in its established, mature setting combined with strong relative value. Key metrics show it outperforms most Winnipeg homes in living space and assessed value, while being notably newer than almost all other houses on its street. The appeal is for practical buyers seeking a solid, move-in-ready home in a quiet neighbourhood without the premium of a brand-new build. It would suit first-time buyers looking for more space than a starter home, or downsizers who want a manageable two-storey without a tiny lot. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home ranks in the middle of its immediate community for some metrics, its high street-level ranking for age and size suggests it's one of the larger, more modern properties on the block, offering a sense of privacy and room to grow that can be rare in older areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the 1974 build year affect the home?
While 52 years old, the data indicates this home is among the newest 3% on its street. Buyers should expect the character and solid construction of an established home, but potentially with fewer age-related issues than many neighbours.
2. What do the ranking percentages actually mean?
They show how this property compares to others. For example, ranking "better than 71% of Winnipeg homes" for lot size means its 6,050 sqft lot is larger than most in the city, a significant advantage for outdoor space.
3. Is the finished basement included in the 1,560 sqft living area?
Typically, the listed living area refers to above-grade space. The fully finished basement is an additional area, adding functional square footage for recreation, guests, or storage.
4. Who might this property not suit?
It may not suit those seeking a brand-new, maintenance-free home or a highly modernized open-concept layout. Buyers wanting a home that ranks at the very top of its immediate community for metrics like value or size might also look elsewhere.
5. How should I interpret the assessment value versus the listing price?
The assessment is a municipal valuation for tax purposes. The listing price is set by the seller based on the current market. The assessment being in the top 21% city-wide for value suggests a strong underlying municipal valuation, but the final sale price is determined by market conditions.
