Property Overview
This two-storey home on a large, 6,247 sqft lot in Betsworth offers a practical and spacious family layout. Its key appeal lies in the combination of a generous, private yard and a fully finished basement, providing ample room for living and recreation. Built in 1986, the home presents a balance: it's newer than most in its immediate neighborhood, yet established enough to be situated on a mature lot. With 1,666 sqft of living space and an attached garage, it suits growing families or those seeking a classic suburban layout with room to breathe. The property’s value proposition is underscored by its city-wide rankings; it stands in the top 30% for lot size and top 20% for living area compared to all of Winnipeg, suggesting more space for the price than is typical. This is a home for buyers prioritizing indoor-outdoor space and a solid foundation in a quiet crescent over brand-new finishes.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the significance of the provided rankings?
The rankings show how this property compares to others in its immediate street, wider community, and all of Winnipeg. For example, its lot size ranks in the top 26% city-wide, meaning it's larger than 74% of Winnipeg lots, which is a notable advantage.
2. The home is 40 years old. What should I consider?
While the home is well-maintained and newer than many on its street, a pre-purchase inspection is essential. This age may mean original components, like the roof, windows, or major systems, are nearing or have reached their typical lifespan and could require updating.
3. How does the finished basement affect living space and value?
The finished basement immediately adds functional space for recreation, a home office, or guests. It’s a valuable feature that expands the usable area without increasing the property's footprint, contributing to its strong ranking for living space.
4. Who would this property best suit?
It's ideal for a family seeking a traditional two-storey layout with a large yard for children or gardening. It would also suit buyers looking for a home with immediate, move-in-ready space (including the basement) and the potential to update interiors over time.
5. The assessment value is $510,000. How does this relate to the listing price?
The assessed value is for municipal tax purposes and is not a direct indicator of market value. The listing price is set based on current market conditions, comparable sales, and the home's specific features. It's a data point to discuss with your agent to understand the local market context.
