Property Overview
This 1986 four-level split home at 27 Windsong Place is a well-established property in the Meadows neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in its generous, mature lot—over 10,700 square feet—which ranks in the top 2% of the area, offering significant outdoor space and privacy. The 1,579 sqft home features an attached garage and a full, unrenovated basement, presenting a solid foundation. The property suits buyers looking for a spacious yard in a quiet neighbourhood, ideal for gardening, play, or future expansion. It’s also a match for value-conscious purchasers comfortable with a home that has maintained its original condition, offering the opportunity to customize updates over time. A thoughtful perspective is the home’s enduring stability; built in the mid-80s, it sits on a lot size that is increasingly rare in newer subdivisions, offering a legacy asset of land in a city where that metric often defines long-term value.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to typical properties today?
At 10,736 sqft, the lot is exceptionally large, ranking in the top 5% across Winnipeg. Most modern suburban lots are significantly smaller, making this a standout feature for space and privacy.
2. The basement is noted as "not renovated." What should I expect?
You should expect a functional, unfinished space that has been maintained in its original state. It offers clean square footage for storage or future development, but any finishing would be a project for the new owner.
3. The assessed value seems low relative to the lot size. Why is that?
Municipal assessments primarily reflect the value of the built structure for tax purposes. The notably low assessment likely indicates the home’s original condition and modest finishes, not the underlying land value, which is a separate market consideration.
4. What is the neighbourhood like?
Meadows is a mature, established neighbourhood from the 1970s and 80s. The high ranking of this specific street (top 9% in the area for lot size and home age) suggests it’s a consistent, desirable pocket within the community.
5. Who would this property not suit?
It may not suit buyers seeking a move-in-ready, modernized home without any projects. Similarly, those who prefer low-maintenance, small-yard living might find the substantial lot more responsibility than appeal.
