Property Overview: 415 Marlton Crescent
This well-situated one-storey home in Winnipeg's Marlton area presents a compelling opportunity for a specific buyer. Built in 1998, its key appeal lies in a rare combination of generous outdoor space and a modern-enough build. On a large, nearly 8,900 sqft lot, it offers room to breathe and garden—a feature becoming increasingly scarce in newer subdivisions. The home itself is practical, with 1,269 sqft of living space, a finished basement, and an attached garage.
Its true standout characteristic is its strong value positioning within the broader market. The property ranks in the top 9% of Winnipeg for lot size and top 16% for assessed value, suggesting you get more land for your dollar compared to most of the city. It suits buyers looking to move up from a starter home into a property with established landscaping and room for future projects, whether a deck, play area, or garden. It’s ideal for those who prioritize private outdoor space over a massive interior and appreciate a home that is newer than many in mature neighbourhoods but already settled into its surroundings.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to typical homes?
Exceptionally well. The property’s lot is in the top 10% for size in Winnipeg, offering significant outdoor space that far exceeds the norm for a home of this era and style.
2. What does the "ranking" data actually mean?
It shows how this property compares to others in its immediate street, community, and all of Winnipeg. For example, ranking in the top 9% for lot size city-wide means 91% of Winnipeg homes sit on smaller lots. It’s a quick way to gauge competitive advantages.
3. Is the 2020 sale price relevant today?
It provides a recent benchmark, showing the home was purchased for $475,000 four years ago. The current assessed value is higher at $516,000, reflecting market changes and improvements, but the final sale price will be determined by current market conditions.
4. Who would this home not suit?
Buyers seeking a brand-new, low-maintenance property or a very large interior footprint may find it less ideal. The appeal here is the land and established setting, not ultra-modern finishes or maximum square footage under one roof.
5. What’s the less obvious advantage of a 1998 build?
It strikes a balance. It’s newer than many homes in mature neighbourhoods (likely meaning fewer major system replacements in the near term), but it’s old enough to be on a large, pre-2000s lot size and have established trees and landscaping.
