Frequently Asked Questions

How does the living space compare to nearby homes?
At 1,568 sqft, the living area is slightly above the city-wide average. On its own street, it’s close to the typical size, but within the broader Fort Richmond neighborhood, it ranks in the top 28%, meaning it offers more interior space than many local homes.

Is the lot size a significant feature?
Yes. The 7,258 sqft lot is a key asset, ranking in the top 15% city-wide. This means the property has more outdoor space than the vast majority of Winnipeg homes, which is a less common find in today’s market.

What does the "above average" assessed value ranking mean?
The home’s assessed value ranks higher than most comparable homes on its street, in Fort Richmond, and across Winnipeg. This generally indicates the municipal assessment sees the property’s value favorably relative to its peers, often reflecting its lot size, condition, and improvements like the renovated basement.

The home was built in 1977. What should I consider?
While the build date is newer than the Winnipeg median, a home of this age will likely have had major components like the roof, windows, and HVAC system updated or nearing their service life. A thorough inspection is advised to understand the condition and timeline for any future updates.
