Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This well-situated one-storey home in Winnipeg's Booth neighbourhood offers a blend of space, value, and established community appeal. Its key strength is the generous 6,399 sqft lot, placing it in the top 17% for size on its street, providing ample outdoor potential. The 1,500 sqft living area is also notably spacious for the area, ranking in the top 83% on the street. The home features a renovated basement and a detached garage. Built in 1960, it is one of the newer homes in its immediate vicinity, ranking in the top 87% by year built on Moray Street.
The appeal lies in its solid value proposition and room to grow. The assessed value of $43,400 is in the top 7% on the street, suggesting the property is viewed favorably relative to its neighbours, yet the 2021 sale price of $38,500 indicates a potentially accessible entry point. It suits practical buyers looking for a larger-than-average lot in an established area—perfect for families, gardeners, or those who value private outdoor space. It’s also a sensible choice for buyers who appreciate a home that already has key updates like a renovated basement, allowing them to avoid major immediate projects.
