Property Summary: 925 Kilkenny Drive, Fort Richmond, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home in Fort Richmond presents a compelling mix of space, location, and value. Its key characteristic is its generous 2,025 sqft living area, which is notably above average for both the neighbourhood and the city, offering ample room for a growing family or those who value spacious interiors. The property sits on a large, nearly 10,000 sqft lot, providing excellent outdoor space and potential. A renovated basement and an attached garage add practical appeal.
The home’s primary appeal lies in its value proposition. While the living space and land size rank well above average for the area, its assessed value is positioned below the average for its immediate street, suggesting a potentially attractive entry point into a desirable neighbourhood. The trade-off is the home’s age; built in 1950, it is one of the older homes on the block. This will suit buyers who prioritize square footage and lot size over modern construction and are prepared for the maintenance or updates that can come with a mature home. It’s an ideal fit for a practical buyer seeking a established, roomy family home in a well-regarded area without the premium price tag of a newer build, and for those who see potential in the character and scale of an older property.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the sold price history available?
Exact sold prices are not publicly displayed. The available data shows a sale occurred in June 2017 in an estimated range. You can request the precise historical sale price by email from the listing source.
2. How does this home compare to others on the street?
It offers more living space than many on Kilkenny Drive, but is one of the oldest homes on the block. Its assessed value is currently lower than the street average, which is unusual given its above-average size.
3. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The details of the basement renovation are not specified in the provided data. A viewing or inquiry with the listing agent is necessary to understand the finish quality, layout, and whether it includes a legal suite or additional bedrooms.
4. Why is the assessed value relatively low for the area?
The assessed value is above average for Fort Richmond overall but below average for Kilkenny Drive specifically. This can be influenced by many factors, including the home’s older age, the specific condition at the time of assessment, or the nature of recent comparable sales. It does not necessarily reflect market value.
5. Are the property taxes based on the assessed value?
Yes, municipal property taxes are calculated using the assessed value. A lower assessment relative to the home's size and neighbourhood can sometimes result in proportionally lower taxes, but the exact mill rate should be verified.
