Property Overview
This two-storey home at 713 De La Seigneurie Boulevard in Winnipeg's Fraipont neighbourhood presents a practical, modern living option. Built in 2020, it offers the key advantage of being a relatively new construction, which typically means fewer immediate maintenance concerns and modern building standards. With 1,389 sqft of living space, it provides adequate room for a small family or couple, though it's notably more compact than many homes on its own street and in the immediate area. The property sits on a modest 3,252 sqft lot, which translates to lower outdoor maintenance but less private yard space. A basement exists but is unrenovated, representing both a project and an opportunity for future expansion. There is no garage or pool.
Its primary appeal lies in its balance of new-build convenience and a below-average assessed value for its specific locale. While its size and lot are smaller than most direct neighbours, this also positions it at a more accessible price point within a desirable, newer subdivision. It suits first-time homebuyers or downsizers who prioritize a modern, low-maintenance home without a premium price tag, and who are comfortable with a standard subdivision lot size. Value-conscious buyers looking for a "blank slate" basement to finish to their own taste may also find it a good fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the property's value compare to the area?
The home's assessed value of $410k is below the average for both De La Seigneurie Boulevard and the wider Fraipont area. This suggests it may offer a more affordable entry point into this modern neighbourhood.
2. What are the implications of the smaller lot size?
At 3,252 sqft, the lot is compact. This means less yard work and lower property taxes tied to land value, but also limited potential for expansions like a large deck, garage, or extensive landscaping.
3. The home is newer, but is it smaller than average?
Yes. Built in 2020, it's newer than most homes citywide. However, its living space is below the average for its street and neighbourhood, indicating efficient but not expansive square footage.
4. What does "basement, not renovated" mean?
The basement is unfinished. It provides essential space for utilities and storage, but any living space (e.g., a rec room, bedroom, or bathroom) would require a full renovation, adding to the home's total cost.
5. What was the previous sale history?
Public data indicates it last sold in June 2020 for between $315,000 and $345,000. For the exact historical sale price, you can request the information via email from the listing source.
