Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This 1,032 sqft bungalow at 17 Beaumont Bay, built in 1954, presents a compelling case for value within its immediate neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in its strong standing on Beaumont Bay itself, where it ranks well above average for both living area (top 7%) and assessed value (top 15%) compared to its direct neighbours. This suggests a home that is both spacious and well-regarded within its own streetscape. The lot is a standard size for the street.
The property would suit a practical buyer looking for a solid, established home in Maybank without paying a premium for a larger city-wide lot. It’s particularly suited for someone who values neighbourhood character and relative space on their own street over maximizing land size. The data indicates you are buying a home that is a leader on its block but comes with more modest city-wide metrics, which can be an opportunity for the right buyer.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home really compare to others nearby?
It ranks exceptionally well on its own street for size and value, but is more average or below average when compared to the wider Maybank area and Winnipeg overall, particularly for land size. Your perception of value will depend heavily on whether you prioritize the immediate neighbourhood feel.
2. What does the assessed value tell me?
The assessed value ($26,900) is a municipal figure for tax purposes, not market value. That it ranks highly on the street suggests the city views it favourably compared to neighbours, but the actual sale price will be determined by the market.
3. The home was last sold between 2021-2025. Can I find out the exact price?
Yes, but the exact sold price is not publicly displayed. You can request it directly via the provided email service on the listing page to get the precise figure.
4. Is a 1954-built home a concern?
The age is typical for the area. Notably, on Beaumont Bay, its 1954 build date is among the very newest (top 4%), which is a unique positive for the street. However, any home of this age will require a thorough inspection to assess the condition of major systems like plumbing, electrical, and the roof.
5. The lot is smaller than the city average. Is that a drawback?
It depends on your lifestyle. The lot is in line with others on Beaumont Bay, meaning you won’t feel out of place. It may mean less yard maintenance but also less private outdoor space than you’d find in newer suburban areas. Consider if the neighbourhood and home size compensate for a smaller yard.
