Property Overview

This is a distinctive, one-storey home on Kildonan Drive that stands out for its generous scale and premium lot. Its primary appeal lies in offering substantial space—both indoors and out—within a well-established, sought-after neighbourhood. The home features a renovated basement, an attached garage, and a private pool. While the 1946 build date suggests a classic character home that may require ongoing updates, the property’s metrics consistently rank in the top tiers for living area and land size when compared to local and city-wide benchmarks. It suits buyers looking for a long-term family home with room to grow and entertain, who value privacy and space over a modern build, and who are prepared for the stewardship of a larger, older property.

2. The home was built in 1946. What should I consider?
While the basement has been renovated, the core structure is nearly 80 years old. Prospective buyers should budget for the maintenance and potential systems updates (like plumbing, electrical, or roof) typical of a home of this vintage, balanced against the character and established neighbourhood it offers.

5. Are the property taxes likely to be high?
Given its above-average assessed value for the area and its substantial physical attributes, property taxes are expected to be correspondingly higher than those for a standard-sized lot and home in Winnipeg. Checking the exact tax amount with the city is recommended.
