Property Overview
6 Matlock Crescent is a well-established four-level split home in the Betsworth neighbourhood, built in 1984. Its key appeal lies in offering generous space and a large lot at a value-oriented point in the market. With over 2,000 square feet of finished living space, including a developed basement, and a 6,236 sqft lot, it provides substantial room for a family. The home’s rankings indicate its strengths: it sits on a larger-than-average lot for its area and offers more interior space than over 90% of Winnipeg homes. Its assessed value is also competitive, ranking higher than most of the city.
This property would suit practical buyers looking for a long-term family home with room to grow or adapt, without the premium of a new build. It’s ideal for those who value interior space and yard size over a recently constructed home, and for owners comfortable with the maintenance and potential updates that come with a 42-year-old house. A less obvious perspective is its potential for buyers who prioritize a stable, established neighbourhood character over being in the newest subdivision, and who see the good structural ranking as a solid foundation to personalize over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the "four-level split" layout mean practically?
A: This design creates multiple distinct living zones across four half-levels, offering good separation between living, sleeping, and recreational areas. It can provide more privacy than an open-concept bungalow but may involve more stairs.
Q: The home is 42 years old. What should I be mindful of?
A: While the rankings show it's structurally competitive, a key focus for a home of this age would be the condition of major systems like the roof, windows, furnace, and plumbing, which may be nearing or past their typical lifespans.
Q: How does the lot size compare?
A: At over 6,200 sqft, the lot is a significant feature. It ranks very well locally, meaning it's larger than most in the immediate area, offering ample backyard space for play, gardening, or entertaining.
Q: The street and community rankings for "newness" are low. Is this a concern?
A: Not necessarily. This primarily indicates the home is older than many on its street and in Betsworth. It reflects the mature nature of the neighbourhood, which often means established landscaping, quieter streets, and a settled community feel.
Q: The assessment value seems high for the area. Why?
A: The assessment ranks higher than 81% of homes in the community, likely reflecting the combined value of the above-average living space, finished basement, and large lot size compared to other properties nearby.
