Frequently Asked Questions
How does the lot size compare practically?
While the living area is slightly below the average for Stormont Drive itself, the lot is exceptionally large. This means you're acquiring significant land in a mature area—a feature that is increasingly rare and offers long-term value, whether for enjoyment, gardening, or future potential.
Is the pool a major consideration?
Yes. A pool is a premium feature that provides great enjoyment but also requires specific maintenance and insurance considerations. It significantly enhances the property's appeal for summer living and entertaining.
What does the "Elite" citywide ranking mean?
The home ranks in the top 1-2% of all Winnipeg properties for both lot size and living area. This highlights that while it may be more average within its immediate, affluent neighbourhood, it is an outstanding property on a city-wide scale.
The home sold in 2019; what should I know?
The 2019 sale price provides a historical benchmark, but the current assessed value is notably higher. This increase suggests significant market movement or possible improvements. It's essential to have a current valuation to understand today's market position.
Who would this property not suit?
Given its one-storey layout and expansive lot, it may not be ideal for those seeking a multi-level home or who prefer a very low-maintenance yard. The pool and land size, while assets, require a commitment to upkeep.
