Property Overview
This 2015-built, one-storey home at 1259 Comdale Avenue in Winnipeg's Fairfield Park neighborhood presents a compelling blend of modern living and generous space. Its key appeal lies in its above-average size and premium lot. With 2,090 sqft of living space, it sits comfortably above the city-wide average. The property truly stands out, however, with its expansive 8,687 sqft lot, which ranks in the top 2% on its own street, offering significant outdoor potential. A renovated basement, an attached garage, and a pool add to its functional amenities.
The home’s assessed value places it in an elite tier for the area, suggesting a well-appointed property relative to its peers. It suits buyers looking for a relatively new construction home (just over a decade old) who prioritize ample indoor and outdoor space over a multi-level layout. It would particularly appeal to those seeking a premium, single-level living experience, families desiring a large yard, or anyone who values a property that outperforms most local and city-wide benchmarks for size, value, and modern age.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to others nearby?
The assessed value is in the top 4% for Fairfield Park and the top 6% on Comdale Avenue, indicating it is considered a higher-value property within its immediate surroundings, likely due to its newer build, large lot, and size.
2. Is the lot size unusual for this area?
Yes. The land area of 8,687 sqft is exceptionally large for this street, ranking #1 out of 54 comparable properties. It offers a much more substantial yard than the neighborhood average.
3. What does the "Elite" or "above average" ranking mean?
These rankings compare the home against similar properties on three levels: its immediate street, the broader Fairfield Park area, and city-wide Winnipeg. "Elite" typically means it falls within the top 5% of peers for that specific metric.
4. The home sold in 2020 for $720k. How is the assessed value relevant?
The assessed value ($81.60k) is for municipal tax purposes and is not a market valuation. The 2020 sale price gives a historical market data point, but current market conditions and improvements since then would determine today’s listing price.
5. Who might this one-storey layout suit best?
Beyond the obvious appeal to those seeking accessibility or single-level living, this layout can be ideal for entertainers, as living spaces are often more connected, and for those who value the privacy of having all bedrooms on one floor. The large lot also means future expansion or adding a detached structure could be a possibility, subject to local bylaws.
