Property Overview: 36 Whitehall Boulevard
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-situated one-storey home in Kildare-Redonda presents a practical and comfortable living opportunity. Its key characteristics include a renovated basement, a detached garage, and a manageable 954 sqft of living space on a 5,000 sqft lot. Built in 1966, the home is of a typical vintage for the area and holds an assessed value of $330,000, positioning it as an average value proposition within its immediate neighbourhood and across Winnipeg.
The appeal lies in its balance and location. It offers the space and privacy of a detached home with a single-level layout that suits downsizers or those seeking minimal stairs. The renovated basement adds valuable flexible space. From a market perspective, its metrics are consistently "around average" for the area, which can be a strength—it suggests a stable, known quantity without the premium or the significant compromise often found with more outlier properties. It’s a home that represents the established character of its street.
This property would best suit first-time buyers looking for a solid entry into a mature neighbourhood, or practical downsizers who value a main-floor living layout, a manageable yard, and the extra potential of a finished basement. It’s for buyers who prioritize neighbourhood feel and functional space over sheer square footage or new construction.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living space compare to nearby homes?
At 954 sqft, the living area is slightly below the average for Whitehall Boulevard itself (~1,024 sqft) but is very close to the average for the broader Kildare-Redonda neighbourhood (~966 sqft). This indicates a efficient, more compact footprint compared to some immediate neighbours.
2. Is the assessed value in line with recent sale prices?
The home is assessed at $330,000. The last recorded sale was in October 2020 for an estimated $265,000-$295,000. As this sale was nearly five years ago, the current assessment reflects market changes since that time. For a precise sales history, you can request the exact sold price via email from the listing source.
3. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The details provided confirm the basement is renovated but do not specify the scope or finish. This is a key point to clarify with the listing agent to understand if it’s a full living space, a rec room, or has added bedrooms.
4. How does the lot size affect the property?
The 5,000 sqft lot is slightly smaller than the street average but typical for the area. It provides a decent yard for gardening or recreation without being overly burdensome to maintain, a good balance for many buyers.
5. What is the neighbourhood ranking for year-built and value?
The home, built in 1966, is of average age for the area. Its assessed value ranks in the 59th percentile on its own street and the 35th percentile in Kildare-Redonda, meaning it’s valued higher than about 35% of area homes. This suggests it is not a premium-priced property for the neighbourhood.
