Property Summary: 10 Prairie View Road
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home in Winnipeg’s Booth neighbourhood is defined by its generous, established lot and solid, renovated foundation. Sitting on an 8,047 sqft property—a lot size that ranks in the top 25% for its street—it offers significant outdoor space in a mature setting. The home itself, built in 1967, is notably newer than most on its street (top 10%), providing a relative modern advantage in an area of older homes. Key features include a renovated basement and an attached garage.
The appeal lies in this balance of space, relative modernity, and updates. It’s a property for buyers who prioritize land size and a stable, established neighbourhood over a brand-new build. It would particularly suit a growing family seeking room to play and garden, or a value-conscious buyer looking for a home with a major system (the basement) already addressed. A thoughtful perspective is that its above-average lot size and newer build year compared to immediate neighbours could offer a unique combination of established greenery and potentially fewer immediate major repairs than surrounding properties.

3. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated, but specific details on finish quality, layout, or permits should be verified by a buyer’s inspection and through direct questions to the seller.
4. How does the living space compare to nearby homes?
At 1,632 sqft, the living area is near the median for the street (top 48%) but ranks in the top 21% for the Booth neighbourhood, suggesting it is comfortably sized within its immediate community.
5. The home is older; what should I consider?
While built in 1967, it is newer than 90% of homes on its street. Key points for due diligence would be the age and condition of the roof, windows, and major mechanical systems (furnace, electrical), even with the basement renovation noted.
