Property Overview: 124 Coopman Crescent
Key Characteristics, Appeal & Target Buyer
This 1994-built, single-storey home in Elmhurst sits on a large, 6,427 sqft lot. Its key characteristics include a fully finished basement, an attached garage, and 1,502 sqft of living space. The appeal lies in its established, low-maintenance bungalow layout combined with a generous yard—a balance that can be hard to find. Its strong city-wide rankings, particularly for lot size and newer build age compared to most Winnipeg homes, indicate a solid, above-average offering in the market.
The property would suit practical buyers looking for space without the upkeep of a two-storey, such as small families, empty-nesters, or first-time buyers seeking room to grow. It also fits those who value a mature neighborhood but want a home that’s newer than many in its area. A less obvious perspective is its potential for a buyer who appreciates having a blank slate; while liveable now, the home offers a solid foundation for future modernization to match its substantial lot.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the “ranking” system work?
The rankings compare this property against others on its street, in Elmhurst, and across all of Winnipeg for specific metrics (like lot size or age). Being in the “top 23%” city-wide for lot size, for example, means 77% of Winnipeg homes have a smaller lot.
2. What does the lot size mean for me?
At over 6,400 sqft, the lot is significantly larger than average. This provides ample private outdoor space for gardening, play, or entertaining, and often offers more flexibility for future additions like a shed or deck.
3. The home ranks lower on its street for value and size. Should I be concerned?
This likely reflects that Coopman Crescent has some larger or more recently updated homes. It’s important to view this in context: the home still ranks well above average across the broader community and city, suggesting it’s a good fit for the wider area.
4. What are the pros and cons of a 1994 build?
Pros include modern wiring and insulation standards compared to much older homes, potentially lowering utility costs. A consideration is that major components, like the roof or HVAC system, may be nearing a natural replacement age, so a thorough inspection is advised.
5. Who might this layout not suit?
Those who need many bedrooms or distinct living areas on one floor may find the layout limiting. The finished basement adds space, but the single-storey main floor plan is best for those comfortable with some stairs or open-concept living.
