Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This single-storey home in Assiniboia Downs is defined by its exceptionally large, private lot—over 18,000 square feet—which is its most standout feature. Built in 2010, the property offers modern construction fundamentals combined with a rare amount of outdoor space for the area. The living area is a comfortable 2,203 sqft with an attached garage and a basement (not renovated). Its appeal lies in this unique balance: a relatively contemporary home without the premium of a brand-new build, situated on a land parcel that ranks in the top 2% for size across Winnipeg. This creates significant potential for privacy, gardening, expansion, or simply enjoying expansive green space.
The home would suit buyers prioritizing land size over a move-in-ready, fully finished property. It’s ideal for someone seeking a blank-canvas backyard for pools, sports courts, or extensive landscaping, or for those who value long-term privacy that newer subdivisions often lack. The unrenovated basement presents an opportunity for customization. Given the stats, it also appeals to value-focused buyers looking for a property with a high assessed value relative to its last sold price, suggesting potential equity.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "top X%" ranking mean for the lot size?
It means this property's lot is larger than 98% of all residential lots in Winnipeg, placing it in the top 2% for size. This is an unusually large parcel, especially for a home built in 2010.
2. The basement is noted as "not renovated." What condition is it in?
The listing specifies it is unfinished. This means it is likely a blank, usable space with bare walls, concrete floors, and open ceilings, awaiting customization to the buyer's needs and budget.
3. How does the assessed value compare to the last sale price?
The home was last sold in 2019 for $830k and is currently assessed at $907k. While assessments are for tax purposes and not market value, this notable increase suggests significant appreciation in the property's official valuation over five years.
4. Is the large lot mostly usable, or does it include a ravine or environmental buffer?
The listing does not specify terrain details. A lot of this size in Winnipeg could be fully usable yard, or it may include a vegetated buffer. This is a key point for a viewing to understand the actual usable space and any maintenance considerations.
5. The home is newer (2010), but how does it compare to the neighbourhood?
Built in 2010, this home is newer than 87% of homes in Winnipeg. However, in its immediate neighbourhood, it ranks in the top 42% for age, meaning there are many newer homes nearby, particularly from the 2000s and 2010s. It sits in a mixed-age area, not as an outlier.
