Property Overview: 26 David Evans Place, Grassie, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home, built in 2015, stands out for its above-average size and modern age within its context. With 2,117 sqft of living space and a 9,385 sqft lot, it offers more room than most comparable homes in the Grassie neighbourhood, citywide, and even on its own street. It features an attached garage and a basement (not renovated), but no pool.
The primary appeal lies in its relative newness and spaciousness. For a home just over a decade old, it avoids the immediate major renovations often needed in older stock. Its consistently high rankings—especially being in the top 7% for assessed value and year built in Grassie—suggest a well-regarded property in a desirable area. The generous lot size is a notable asset for outdoor space, gardening, or future expansion.
This property would best suit buyers looking for a move-in ready, modern family home with room to grow. It’s ideal for those who value space over a fully finished basement and appreciate a home that compares favorably in metrics against its peers. It may also attract value-conscious buyers who see the unrenovated basement as a blank canvas to customize.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the assessed value of $58.60k mean?
In Manitoba, the assessed value is not the market price. It is a value set by the municipal government for taxation purposes, typically a fraction of the home's estimated market value. The market sale price is determined between buyer and seller.
2. How recent and reliable is the sold price history shown?
The listed sale from 2016 is a range based on public data. For the exact historical sold price, you must request it directly via the provided email service. This is a manual process to ensure accuracy and privacy.
3. The home ranks highly for its year built. Why is that significant?
A 2015 build date means major components like the roof, windows, furnace, and appliances are likely still within their expected lifespans. This can provide several years of peace of mind without the looming cost of big-ticket replacements common in older homes.
4. The basement is noted as "not renovated." What should I consider?
This indicates the lower level is likely unfinished or only partly finished. While it adds flexible storage or future living space, it is not a move-in-ready entertainment area or suite. Budget and plans for finishing it should be part of your evaluation.
5. The home ranks in the top 29% for land area on its street. What’s the practical benefit?
A lot size of nearly 9,400 sqft is larger than average, offering more privacy, bigger yard space for recreation or pets, and potentially more landscaping options. It also may provide better potential for additions or outbuildings, subject to local bylaws.
