Property Overview: 912 Greencrest Avenue, Fort Richmond, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a modest, one-storey home built in 1983, offering 930 square feet of living space on a 3,239 sqft lot. Its key characteristic is its relative affordability and solid positioning within its immediate neighborhood of Greencrest Avenue. While its size is below average for the broader Fort Richmond area and the city, it ranks around or just above average for its own street in terms of living area, assessed value, and year built. This suggests a home that fits comfortably within its specific local context.
The appeal lies in its potential as a manageable, entry-level property or a downsizing opportunity. The basement has been renovated, adding functional space. It suits first-time buyers seeking a foothold in the market without the maintenance of a larger property, or investors looking for a straightforward rental. A less obvious perspective is its lot size: while smaller than many in the area, it offers a more manageable yard with lower upkeep, which can be a hidden benefit for those prioritizing time and budget. The home’s recent sale history indicates steady interest, and its newer construction date compared to many city-wide homes is a practical advantage.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to its neighbors?
Based on assessed value, this home is very typical for Greencrest Avenue itself (ranking 20th out of 35, or top 57%). However, its assessed value is below the average for the wider Fort Richmond area, which can indicate a more accessible price point in a desirable location.
2. Is the living space small for the area?
At 930 sqft, it is smaller than the Fort Richmond average. But on its own street, it is close to the average size (946 sqft). This highlights the importance of comparing homes on a micro-neighborhood level, where this house is competitively sized.
3. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the finishes or layout. This is a key detail to clarify with the seller or agent to understand the home’s full liveable space and condition.
4. Why is the lot size ranked so low for Fort Richmond?
The lot is 3,239 sqft, which is significantly smaller than the area average of over 7,000 sqft. This is common for older infill or subdivision patterns on specific streets. It means less yard maintenance but also less private outdoor space.
5. How can I get the exact historical sold prices?
The exact sold prices are not publicly displayed. The listing provider offers to manually email the accurate sale history upon request, at no cost and without using your email for unsolicited marketing.
