Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This well-maintained 1974 bungalow sits on a spacious 5,504 sqft lot in the Vialoux neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in a practical, single-level layout with 1,380 sqft of living space and a finished basement, offering immediate move-in readiness and room to grow. The home’s standout characteristic is its relative newness compared to others on its street, ranking newer than 97% of neighbouring houses—a notable advantage in an area of older homes. It also offers above-average living space for Winnipeg overall.
The property suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable, established home without major renovation projects. It’s equally a fit for practical investors or families who value a large lot and the potential that comes with a finished basement. The appeal here is grounded in solid fundamentals: a newer-than-average home for the immediate area, on a large lot, with all spaces ready for use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the "newness" ranking actually benefit me?
Being newer than most homes on the street typically suggests potentially fewer major system updates (like roofing or windows) in the near term compared to older peers, which can mean lower immediate capital costs.
2. The lot is large, but is it usable?
At over 5,500 sqft, the lot offers ample backyard space for gardening, play, or expansion. It’s worth checking the specific lot layout via the provided street view to assess sun exposure and privacy.
3. The home ranks highly for space in Winnipeg, but average on its street. What does that mean?
This indicates the home offers solid interior space city-wide, but fits right in with its local peers. You’re getting a typical amount of house for this specific street, which can be positive for maintaining value.
4. What might the assessment value tell me?
The municipal assessment of $442,000 is a key data point for property taxes. That it ranks higher city-wide (top 27%) than it does on its own street (top 69%) suggests the city views the property favourably overall, but it may be priced more modestly within its own desirable neighbourhood context.
5. Who might this property not suit?
Buyers seeking a brand-new build, a very large interior footprint, or specific modern open-concept layouts may find this 1970s bungalow less ideal. It’s a home for those who appreciate established communities and straightforward, functional space.
