28 Dickson Crescent

Property Overview

28 Dickson Crescent presents a well-maintained 1954 bungalow in Winnipeg's Maybank neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in offering solid value and space within a mature, established setting. At 1,032 sqft, the living area is notably above average for its immediate street and is competitive within the local area. The home sits on a standard 3,086 sqft lot for the crescent. With an assessed value of $250k, it positions itself as a practical entry-point into the market. A key, less obvious point is its "vintage stability"—built in 1954, it is one of the oldest homes on its street, suggesting a well-founded structure in a settled streetscape. The property last sold in the $300k-$350k range in 2024.

This home would suit first-time buyers or practical downsizers looking for a manageable footprint without compromising on interior space relative to the neighbourhood. It’s for those who value a quiet, established crescent over a brand-new development and prefer a home that offers room to live comfortably now, with the potential for updates over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home's size compare to others nearby?
At 1,032 sqft, the living area is larger than most on Dickson Crescent itself (ranking in the top 6%) and is very close to the average for the broader Maybank area. This means you get more interior space than many of your immediate neighbours.

2. Is the assessed value an accurate guide to its market price?
Not directly. The assessed value for taxation is $250k, but the home sold for between $300k and $350k in 2024. The assessed value is useful for understanding property taxes, but the recent sale price is a far better indicator of its current market value.

3. What does the lot size mean for outdoor space?
The 3,086 sqft lot is typical for Dickson Crescent but is smaller than the average lot in both Maybank and Winnipeg overall. This translates to a lower-maintenance yard, which is a benefit for some, but may be a consideration if you're looking for extensive outdoor space or gardening.

4. As an older home, what should I be aware of?
Built in 1954, the home's major systems (roof, plumbing, electrical, foundation) will likely need to be evaluated for their age and condition. Its status as one of the oldest on the street isn't inherently negative—it often means mature trees and a settled property—but a thorough inspection is essential.

5. How can I find out the exact price it sold for?
The exact sale price is not publicly displayed due to privacy regulations. However, you can request it directly via the "Get exact sold price history" button on the listing page. The service provider will email you the accurate figure, typically by the end of the same day.
