Property Overview: 2 Mcmasters Road, Fort Richmond, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home in Fort Richmond is a solid, middle-of-the-road property that offers practicality and space. Built in 1965, it features 1,500 sqft of living area, an attached garage, and a renovated basement. Its assessed value is aligned with local averages. The appeal here is one of stability and value: you get a home that is larger than the Winnipeg average, on a lot that is also above the city-wide norm, within a well-established neighbourhood. It’s not a standout luxury property, but it consistently performs as an "above average" or "around average" home in broader city comparisons.
The home would suit first-time buyers or growing families looking for a move-in ready, no-surprises house with room to grow, without the premium price tag of newer or top-tier suburban developments. A thoughtful perspective is that its 1965 build date is actually newer than many on its street, suggesting slightly updated infrastructure compared to immediate neighbours. While the lot size is smaller than others in Fort Richmond, it remains generous by city standards, offering outdoor space without excessive maintenance.
