Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This 1976-built, single-storey home in Betsworth offers a practical layout with 1,262 sqft of living space on a generous, nearly 6,000 sqft lot. Its key appeal lies in its established, quiet neighbourhood and its relative value within the broader Winnipeg market. The home features a finished basement and a detached garage. Data suggests it stands out on its specific street, ranking highly for lot size, age, and assessed value compared to its immediate neighbours. However, its rankings within the wider community are more moderate, positioning it as a solid, no-frills property rather than a standout in the broader area.
It would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable single-level layout in a mature area. The large lot is a significant asset for those valuing outdoor space, garden potential, or future expansion. The strong street-level rankings indicate a well-kept block, appealing to buyers who prioritize a stable immediate environment. This is a home for pragmatic buyers seeking space and livability over modern finishes, who are comfortable with the maintenance considerations of a 50-year-old property.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the ranking data actually tell me?
The rankings show how this property compares to others in three areas: its own street, the Betsworth community, and all of Winnipeg. It ranks very well on its street (often in the top 7-29%), which is a positive sign about the immediate block. Its more average rankings in the wider community suggest it is a typical, mid-range home for Betsworth, not an outlier.
2. Is the finished basement included in the 1,262 sqft living area?
Typically, the listed "居住面积" (Living Area) refers to above-grade square footage. The finished basement is an additional space, adding functional room but not usually counted in the official living area figure.
3. What are the considerations with a 50-year-old home?
While the structure has proven its durability, major systems like roofing, plumbing, electrical, and windows may be near or past their typical lifespan. A thorough inspection is crucial to understand the condition and prioritize any updates. This age of home often comes with solid construction and mature landscaping.
4. How should I interpret the assessed value of $398,000?
This is the city's valuation for property tax purposes, not necessarily the market price. It is a useful benchmark, and its higher ranking (top 35% in Winnipeg) indicates the city sees solid value here. Market conditions, buyer demand, and the home's specific condition will ultimately determine the sale price.
5. What are the pros and cons of a detached garage?
It provides flexible storage or workshop space separate from the house. The main drawback is convenience; you will have to go outside to access your vehicle, which can be a significant factor during Winnipeg winters.
