Property Overview: 56 Outhwaite Street, Grassie, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-situated one-storey home in Grassie presents a practical and comfortable living opportunity. Built in 1995, it offers a modern layout compared to many city homes, with 1,227 sqft of living space and a renovated basement. The attached garage and a land size of 4,632 sqft provide solid utility for a property of this style.
Its primary appeal lies in its balance and stability. The home consistently ranks as "around average" to "above average" in key metrics within its immediate neighbourhood and city-wide, particularly for its assessed value and year built. This suggests a property that holds its own without extreme outliers. A thoughtful perspective is its lot size: while below average for the larger Grassie area, it is above average for Outhwaite Street itself, indicating a potentially better-than-expected outdoor space for that specific block.
This home would suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable, single-level layout in an established neighbourhood. It’s also a sensible fit for value-conscious buyers who appreciate a home that aligns with—or slightly exceeds—neighbourhood norms, offering a lower-risk entry point into the market without compromising on modern essentials.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to the wider Winnipeg market?
City-wide, the assessed value ranks in the top 27%, meaning it is valued higher than about 73% of comparable homes in Winnipeg. This indicates a strong assessed value relative to the entire city.
2. Is the lot size typical for the area?
This is a nuanced point. The lot is below the average size for the broader Grassie neighbourhood. However, on Outhwaite Street itself, this property’s lot ranks in the top 24%, meaning it is actually larger than most of its direct neighbours.
3. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope or finish. This is a key detail to clarify with the selling agent to understand if it’s a fully developed living space, a modern utility area, or something in between.
4. How recent are the major systems (roof, furnace, etc.)?
Given the home was built in 1995, major components are likely original or nearing the end of their typical lifespan. A pre-purchase inspection is highly recommended to assess the condition and remaining life of these critical systems.
5. Where can I find the exact historical sale price?
The listed sale price ranges are based on public data. The site offers to provide the exact sold price history via a manual email service upon request, at no cost and with a promise of no unsolicited marketing.
