Property Overview
This 1969 one-storey home in Roblin Park offers a distinct proposition centered on its expansive, nearly 11,000 sqft lot. With 1,104 sqft of living space and a finished basement, the house itself is functional, but the property's primary appeal lies in its exceptional outdoor space and established neighborhood setting. Its competitive rankings highlight a key strength: the lot size places it in the top 5% of all Winnipeg, offering rare potential for gardening, expansion, or simply enjoying generous private grounds. The home suits a buyer looking for an affordable entry into a mature area who values land over a large or modern footprint. It's ideal for those with a vision to gradually update the interior while immediately enjoying one of the larger yards in the city, or for downsizers seeking single-level living with room for hobbies and family gatherings outdoors.
Key Details & Questions
What are the less obvious advantages of this property?
Beyond the obvious lot size, the data shows the home's age is newer than most in its immediate area (ranking in the top 30% on its street), suggesting potentially fewer immediate concerns than older neighbors. Its overall assessment value ranks higher city-wide than within its community, indicating the lot is a significant value driver recognized in the market.
Is the basement included in the listed living area?
No. The listed living area of 1,104 sqft refers to the above-ground living space. The home also features a separate, finished basement, which provides additional usable rooms.
How does the property rank for its assessed value in the area?
The assessment of $377,000 ranks higher than 59% of homes on its street (top 80%), but only higher than 25% within Roblin Park (top 75%). This suggests the lot premium may be more pronounced compared to immediate neighbors than against the wider community, which includes many larger homes.
What does the "ranking" data actually mean?
The rankings compare this specific property against others on the same street, in Roblin Park, and across all of Winnipeg for metrics like lot size, age, and living area. For example, being in the "top 5%" for lot size in Winnipeg means 95% of city properties have a smaller lot, highlighting its standout feature.
