Property Overview
This well-maintained home at 23 Harding Crescent in Winnipeg's Dakota Crossing neighbourhood presents a practical and comfortable living option. Built in 2005, it offers modern construction and a recently renovated basement. With 1,826 sqft of living space and an attached garage, it sits above the city-wide average for size. The property is positioned on a standard, manageable lot. Its assessed value ranks consistently above average for its street, neighbourhood, and the wider city, suggesting a solid valuation. A key point of appeal is its move-in-ready condition with recent updates, requiring less immediate investment than an older home. It would suit first-time buyers looking for a modern, low-maintenance property, or downsizers seeking single-level living (assuming the main floor contains the primary living spaces) without sacrificing space. The data indicates you're paying more for the quality and condition of the structure itself rather than an expansive yard.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the lot size compare?
The land area is 4,397 sqft, which is slightly below average for the immediate area and street. This typically means lower outdoor maintenance but may limit expansion or extensive landscaping projects.
What does the "above average" assessed value ranking mean?
The home's assessed value ranks in the top 20% on its street and top 12% city-wide. This generally indicates the city assessor views it as a higher-value property compared to many peers, often due to its modern build year, renovations, and above-average living area.
Is the basement renovation reflected in the assessment?
While the listing notes a renovated basement, the provided assessment data is a snapshot. Major renovations can influence assessed value, but there may be a lag before they are fully reflected in official assessments.
The home sold in 2019 for $43.50k? Is that correct?
This figure is likely a data transfer error or represents an atypical transaction (e.g., a transfer between family members). It is not representative of the market value, as the current assessed value is $55.70k and typical sale prices in the area would be significantly higher.
Who would this property not suit?
It may not be ideal for buyers prioritizing a very large private yard or those seeking a "fixer-upper" project, as key updates like the basement renovation are already complete. The value is in its modern, ready-to-live-in state.
