Property Overview
This single-storey home at 27 Desrosiers Drive in Canterbury Park offers a practical and low-maintenance living option. Its key appeal lies in its generous, above-average lot size for the area, providing valuable outdoor space in a newer, well-established neighbourhood. The home itself is modest in size, with a renovated basement adding functional living space. Built in 2010, it benefits from modern construction standards while being older than many immediate neighbours. The attached garage and one-storey layout enhance its convenience. This property would suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a manageable home with a solid lot in a desirable community, where the land represents a significant portion of the value.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the lot size a major advantage?
Yes. The land is over 6,200 sqft, which is larger than most lots on the street and in Canterbury Park. This offers more privacy, yard space, and potential for gardening or expansion compared to newer subdivisions.
How does the home's size compare to others?
The living area is compact at 1,329 sqft, which is smaller than most similar homes on Desrosiers Drive. However, it is very close to the average size for both the wider neighbourhood and the city, making it a typically sized bungalow overall.
What does the "below average" year built ranking mean?
Built in 2010, the home is newer than most in Winnipeg. On its specific street, however, many homes were built more recently (around 2017 on average). This means you get a modern home, but it may have slightly different styles or features than its immediate neighbours.
Why is the last sale price so different from the assessed value?
The home last sold in 2018 for $38,500. The current assessed value is $49,100. This increase reflects market changes over six years and the value added by the renovated basement.
Is the renovated basement a full suite?
The listing confirms a renovated basement but does not specify if it is a legal suite with a separate entrance. Buyers should verify the renovation permits and layout to understand its exact use and potential.
