Property Overview: 88 Orum Drive, Grassie, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home in Grassie presents a balanced and practical offering. Its key strength is a generous 8,750 sqft lot, which is notably larger than most in the immediate area and ranks in the top 10% of the wider neighbourhood. This provides valuable outdoor space and potential. The house itself, built in 2000, is newer than the Winnipeg average, suggesting modern construction standards. With 1,456 sqft of living space and a renovated basement, it offers comfortable room for daily life. The attached garage adds convenience. Its assessed value sits above average for both the street and the city, indicating a perception of solid worth.
The appeal lies in its combination of a substantial, private yard with a relatively contemporary, move-in-ready home. It’s not the largest house on the block, but it occupies one of the largest parcels of land. This property would suit buyers looking for a established family home in a mature neighbourhood who prioritize outdoor space for gardening, play, or future projects over having the absolute most square footage indoors. It’s a practical choice for those seeking a balance between a modern(ish) home and a legacy-sized lot.
