Property Overview
This two-storey home at 336 Queen Street in Winnipeg's King Edward neighbourhood presents a compelling mix of modern convenience and established community. Built in 2016, it stands out as a notably newer construction on a street and in an area dominated by much older homes. Its 1,379 sqft living area is spacious for the immediate locale, placing it in the top tier for size both on Queen Street and in King Edward. The renovated basement adds functional living space. While it does not have a garage or pool, its appeal lies in its move-in-ready condition, modern infrastructure, and a generous 4,643 sqft lot that offers above-average outdoor space for the central neighbourhood.
The property would particularly suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance, newer home without sacrificing the character and lot size of an established area. It’s ideal for those who value modern building standards and energy efficiency but want to avoid the premium and lot constraints of a brand-new infill. The high assessed value relative to its immediate peers suggests it is viewed as a premium property on its block, appealing to buyers looking for a long-term home with a strong foothold in a central community.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the modern build year affect ownership costs?
A 2016 build typically means newer major systems (roof, HVAC, windows), which can translate to lower immediate repair costs and better energy efficiency compared to the neighbourhood's older housing stock. This is a key factor behind its higher assessed value.
Is the lack of a garage a significant drawback?
This depends on lifestyle. While off-street parking isn't provided, the lot size offers potential for adding a parking pad or future garage, subject to city bylaws. For those comfortable with street parking, it's a trade-off for the larger yard.
The assessed value seems high for the area. Why?
The assessment reflects the home's relative newness, size, and renovated condition compared to its neighbours. It ranks in the top 3% in King Edward for assessed value, indicating it's considered a substantially updated and valuable asset within the community context.
What does the "above average" living area mean for daily life?
At 1,379 sqft, the home offers more interior space than roughly 94% of homes in King Edward. This provides flexibility for home offices, family living, or simply more spacious rooms than are typical for the area.
How does the lot size compare to newer subdivisions?
At 4,643 sqft, the lot is smaller than the Winnipeg citywide average but is actually above average for the denser, central King Edward neighbourhood. It offers a substantial backyard by inner-city standards, which is a prized feature.
