Property Summary: 530 Banting Drive, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a classic, well-maintained one-storey home in the Kirkfield neighbourhood, built in 1960. Its key characteristic is a generous, above-average lot size of just under 7,900 sqft, offering more outdoor space than most homes on its street and across Winnipeg. The living area is a comfortable 1,040 sqft with a renovated basement, and it features a detached garage.
The appeal lies in its grounded, practical nature. It’s a home that represents solid value, with an assessed value that is consistently around the average for its immediate area, suggesting it’s priced in line with its peers. For the right buyer, the large lot is a significant asset—offering potential for gardening, expansion, or simply more private space than is typical. It would suit first-time buyers, downsizers looking for single-level living, or practical investors seeking a stable property in an established community. It’s not the largest or newest home on the block, but it offers a balanced package of space, updates, and a premium-sized yard that is increasingly rare.
