88 Countryside Way

Property Summary: 88 Countryside Way, Kil-Cona Park, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a spacious, well-established family home on an exceptionally large lot in the Kil-Cona Park neighbourhood. Built in 2002, its nearly 2,000 sqft of living space is complemented by a renovated basement and the rare benefit of both attached and detached garages. The property’s standout feature is its land: at over 54,000 sqft, the lot size ranks in the top 1% citywide, offering immense privacy and potential for outdoor living, gardening, or future expansion.

The appeal lies in its combination of above-average interior space, modern updates, and a truly elite-sized parcel of land in a mature area. While the home itself is comfortable and updated, the true value proposition is the land itself—a rarity in the city that cannot be replicated. It suits buyers looking for a long-term family home with room to grow, outdoor enthusiasts who value space and privacy, or those who see inherent value in owning one of the larger properties in Winnipeg. It’s a practical home with a premium lot, offering a balance of community roots and uncommon space.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the property’s value compare to its neighbours?
The home’s assessed value of $680k ranks in the top 3% within Kil-Cona Park and the top 4% citywide, indicating it is considered a premium property relative to most homes. On its own street, it ranks 2nd highest of 15 homes.

2. What does the “Elite” ranking for land area mean?
This means the lot size is in the top 1% of all residential properties in Winnipeg. At 54,243 sqft, it is significantly larger than the citywide average lot of about 6,570 sqft, offering a level of space and privacy that is very uncommon.

3. Is the sold price history available?
Exact sold prices are not publicly displayed. The listing indicates a past sale in September 2019 with a price range. You can request the precise historical sold price by emailing the listing service, which provides the information manually.

4. What are the practical benefits of having two garages?
The combination of an attached and a detached garage provides ample space for multiple vehicles, workshops, and extensive storage. It offers flexibility to separate hobby or work space from daily vehicle parking, a significant advantage for households with several drivers, collectors, or DIY projects.

5. The home is 24 years old. What should I consider?
While the basement has been renovated, a home of this age is likely approaching the point where major original components (like the roof, HVAC system, or windows) may need inspection or planned replacement. Its above-average rankings for year built in the area suggest it is still newer than many neighbouring homes, but a thorough inspection is recommended.
