About This Property
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a 1957 single-family home on Cherry Crescent in Winnipeg’s Windsor Park neighbourhood, with 1,256 sq ft of living space and a generous 6,822 sq ft lot. The living area is above average for both its street and community—ranking 8th out of 29 on the street and 441st out of 3,307 in the neighbourhood—but sits right around the city median. The lot size is a standout feature: it’s larger than most in the area (top 14% in Windsor Park) and even ranks well citywide (top 18%). The assessed value is close to average across all three comparison ranges, coming in at $367,000. The property’s build year is slightly older than the neighbourhood average but comparable to its immediate street.
The appeal here is balance: a home that offers more indoor and outdoor space than many nearby options, without commanding a premium in assessed value. It would suit buyers who value yard space and room to spread out—families, gardeners, or anyone looking for a property with expansion potential. It’s not a flashy or updated showpiece, but a solid, straightforward house in a settled neighbourhood where the lot gives it an edge.
Five Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s size compare to others in Windsor Park?
The living area is about 165 sq ft larger than the neighbourhood average of 1,091 sq ft, placing it in the top 13% locally. It’s not exceptionally large by city standards, but within this community it offers above-average square footage.
2. Is the assessed value reasonable for what you’re getting?
Yes—the $367,000 assessment is very close to the street and neighbourhood averages ($359,000 and $354,000 respectively), and below the city average of $390,000. Given the larger-than-average lot and living area, the value appears competitive without being inflated.
3. How old is the house, and does that matter?
Built in 1957, it’s slightly older than the neighbourhood average of 1961 and the city average of 1966. On its own street, it’s right in the middle. Age isn’t necessarily a negative; many homes from this era are well-built and have solid bones, though buyers should factor in potential updates to systems or finishes.
4. What’s the land like, and could I build or add on?
At 6,822 sq ft, the lot is larger than 82% of properties citywide and ranks in the top 14% within Windsor Park. That extra space could allow for a garage, a workshop, a large garden, or possibly an addition (subject to zoning and permits). It’s a rare asset for the price point.
5. How does this property stack up against others on Cherry Crescent?
It ranks 8th of 29 homes in living area (top 28%) and 8th in lot size (top 28%), with an assessed value that’s near the middle. So it’s one of the roomier options on the street without being the most expensive. For buyers looking at this specific crescent, it offers a strong size-to-cost ratio.
