Property Overview: 24 Walden Crescent
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a well-situated, one-storey home in Winnipeg's Kildare-Redonda neighbourhood, built in 1963. Its primary strengths are its generous 6,588 sqft lot—significantly larger than most in the immediate area and citywide—and its renovated basement, which adds functional living space to the 1,092 sqft main floor. The home presents a solid, above-average footprint for its neighbourhood, with living space and assessed value ranking notably higher than many local comparables.
The appeal lies in the balance of a established, mature neighbourhood and the value offered by the expanded lot size and updated lower level. It suits practical buyers looking for a single-level layout with room to grow outdoors, whether for gardening, recreation, or future expansion. The detached garage adds utility for storage or projects. It’s a property for someone who values space over sheer square footage, appreciating the potential inherent in a large lot within a stable community. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home itself is of average size for the city, it occupies a land parcel that is now uncommon, offering a sense of privacy and scope that newer subdivisions often lack.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to typical properties?
The lot is a standout feature. At 6,588 sqft, it ranks in the top 7% for size within both the immediate street and the broader Kildare-Redonda area, offering substantially more outdoor space than neighbouring properties.
2. What does "renovated basement" imply?
The listing confirms a renovated basement, which typically means the lower level has been modernized for finished living space. This effectively increases the usable area beyond the main floor's 1,092 sqft, though exact details of the renovation should be verified.
3. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the selling price?
Not directly. The assessed value of $33,600 is for municipal tax purposes. The last known sale was in 2017 for an estimated $24.5K-$27.5K. Market conditions and property improvements since then mean the current market value will be determined by recent comparable sales and buyer demand.
4. What is the neighbourhood character of Kildare-Redonda?
Based on the data, it's an established area with homes primarily from the 1960s. The rankings show this property is above average in several metrics for the neighbourhood, suggesting it is a well-positioned home within a mature, stable community.
5. Where can I find the exact historical sale prices?
