Property Overview
1197 Devonshire Drive W is a well-maintained bungalow in Winnipeg's Meadows neighbourhood, built in 1994. With 863 square feet of living space on a 3,700 sqft lot, it presents a practical and manageable footprint. Its assessed value is notably consistent with others on its street, suggesting a stable and established setting.
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home’s primary appeal lies in its balance of modern convenience and modest scale. Built in 1994, it is newer than most homes in Winnipeg, which often means fewer concerns with major aging infrastructure compared to much older stock. The lot size is generous for its immediate street, offering above-average outdoor space for the row.
It is an ideal fit for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a low-maintenance property. The manageable size translates to easier upkeep and lower utility costs. A thoughtful perspective is its strong positional value on its own street—while the home is below average in size for the broader area, its assessed value and living area are very much in line with its direct neighbours. This indicates a cohesive streetscape without over-improvement, reducing the risk of feeling out of place or overpaying relative to the immediate micro-market.
