The home features a renovated basement and an attached garage.
The property’s assessed value is notably high for its street and neighbourhood, suggesting above-average finishes, upgrades, or desirable lot characteristics. This home would best suit buyers looking for a modern property without the wait of new construction, who value ample private outdoor space for gardening, play, or entertaining. It’s also a practical choice for those seeking single-level living or who prefer the established feel of a neighbourhood that has begun to mature since its development around 2018.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the assessed value so much higher than neighbouring homes?
The assessed value places this home in the top 1% of Fraipont, indicating it has been valued significantly above area averages. This typically reflects major renovations (like the finished basement), premium materials, or exceptional lot features that municipal assessors have recognized.
2. How does the lot size compare to typical newer homes?
The lot is a standout feature. At over 9,150 sqft, it is substantially larger than the average lot in Fraipont (~5,623 sqft) and city-wide (~6,570 sqft). This offers more privacy and space than most homes built in the last decade.
3. Is the neighbourhood fully developed?
With a build year of 2018, this home is part of a relatively recent phase of development. The area is likely established with mature landscaping, but may still have some new construction ongoing nearby, which is worth investigating.
4. What does the "Elite" ranking for Year Built city-wide mean?
While the home is slightly older than the average on its street, it is still much newer than the Winnipeg city-wide average home (built in 1966). This "Elite" ranking city-wide highlights the advantage of modern construction, systems, and building codes compared to most of the city's housing stock.
5. You mention a previous sale in 2019. What does that indicate?
The home sold approximately one year after it was built. This could indicate it was a quick resale by the original owner or a builder’s model home. It does not suggest a long or complex ownership history.
