Property Overview: 38 Cornell Drive, Fort Richmond, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-situated one-storey home in Fort Richmond presents a practical and grounded opportunity. Built in 1967, it features 1,275 sqft of living space and a renovated basement, complemented by an attached garage. The lot is a notable asset at 6,490 sqft, which is above the city-wide average, offering more outdoor space than many urban properties.
Its primary appeal lies in its solid, middle-of-the-road metrics. The home doesn't rank at the extreme top or bottom in its area for size, value, or year built, indicating a property that is comfortably in line with community norms. This stability can be attractive. The renovated basement adds modern livability without the need for immediate major updates.
This home would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable single-level layout in a mature neighbourhood. It’s also a sensible fit for a value-oriented buyer who appreciates a larger lot for gardening, recreation, or future expansion potential, without paying a premium for a brand-new build. It’s a home for those prioritizing function, space, and location over high-end finishes or prestige.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to the area?
The assessed value is consistently around the average for both the immediate street and the broader Fort Richmond neighbourhood, suggesting it is fairly priced within its market context.
2. What does the “renovated basement” include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope. We recommend inquiring about the finishes, the permit history, and whether it includes a separate entrance or legal suite potential.
3. Is the lot size a significant advantage?
Yes. While the home's living area is average, the land area is above the city-wide average. This means more private outdoor space than many properties, which is a less obvious but valuable asset for privacy, gardening, or future projects.
4. What are the implications of the 1967 build date?
The home is from an era of sturdy construction but will likely have original or aging core components. A thorough inspection of the roof, windows, plumbing, and electrical systems is advised to understand any upcoming maintenance.
5. Can I get the exact historical sale price?
Yes, but the precise figure is not published publicly. You can request the exact sold price history directly via the provided email service, which will be supplied manually at no cost and without marketing spam.
