Property Overview
This bi-level home at 19 Ravenhurst Street in Canterbury Park presents a practical and efficient living option. Its key appeal lies in its balance of a renovated basement and a manageable scale on a standard city lot. The home was built in 1996, making it notably newer than the average Winnipeg house, which is a significant advantage for maintenance and system longevity. With 896 sqft of living space, it is compact, suiting individuals, couples, or small families looking for a low-maintenance footprint without sacrificing a full basement and a detached garage. The lot size is smaller than most in the immediate area, which translates to less yard work. This property would best suit first-time buyers seeking an entry into homeownership with modernized basics, or downsizers who want a functional, newer home without the upkeep of a larger property. Its assessed value is consistent with area averages, suggesting a fairly priced offering in the market.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the lot size compare?
The land area is 3,300 sqft, which is below average for Canterbury Park and significantly smaller than the Winnipeg average. This means less exterior maintenance but also more limited private outdoor space compared to many homes.
Is the home newer or older than most?
Built in 1996, the home is newer than about 81% of properties citywide, a strong point for roof, window, and mechanical systems. On its own street and in Canterbury Park, however, it is around or slightly below the average build year.
What does the "below average" sale price ranking mean?
The home last sold in 2019 for $300k. Data indicates this price was below the average for the neighbourhood and the city at that time, which may reflect its smaller living area and lot size, but could also represent a value opportunity.
Is the living space particularly small?
With 896 sqft, the living area is below the neighbourhood and city averages. This confirms the home is a compact bi-level, where efficient use of space and the renovated basement are key to its functionality.
How should I interpret the assessed value?
The assessed value ($37.20k for taxation purposes) is around the middle of the pack locally and citywide. It’s important to note that assessed value for taxes is not market value; a professional appraisal and market analysis are needed to determine current worth.
