Property Overview: 61 Hollington Road, Linden Woods
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home presents a compelling mix of space, location, and value within Winnipeg’s desirable Linden Woods neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in its generous, above-average lot size of over 7,450 sqft, offering significant outdoor space that is a rarity city-wide and even stands out on its own street. Built in 1987, the house itself is newer than most in Winnipeg, though its living area is more modest compared to other homes in Linden Woods. This creates a unique profile: a home with a premium-sized yard in an established, sought-after area, but without an excessively large footprint to maintain.
The financial perspective is noteworthy. While the assessed value is typical for Hollington Road, it places the property in an elite tier compared to the entire city, suggesting strong underlying value for the neighborhood. It last sold between $600k-$650k in 2017. This combination suits specific buyers: those prioritizing yard space for family, gardening, or privacy over sheer interior square footage; value-conscious purchasers seeking entry into a premium area; or buyers looking for a home with solid fundamentals and the potential to customize or expand over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the house smaller than others in the area?
Yes. The living area is below the average for both Hollington Road and the broader Linden Woods neighborhood. The appeal here trades some interior space for a much larger-than-average lot.
2. What does the "Elite" city-wide assessment ranking mean?
It means the home’s assessed value is in the top 5% of all Winnipeg properties. This indicates that, while it may be average for its immediate street, it represents a high-value asset within the wider city market, largely due to its Linden Woods location and lot size.
3. How does the 2017 sale price relate to today’s value?
The $600k-$650k range from 2017 is a historical benchmark. Current value would be influenced by market conditions, updates to the property, and comparable recent sales. The detailed sold price history is available by request.
4. Who would this property not suit?
It may not be ideal for buyers seeking a large, turn-key home with no renovation plans, or those who prioritize extensive interior living space over outdoor land. It’s better suited for those who value the land itself and see potential in the existing structure.
