Property Overview
This one-storey home in Roblin Park is defined by its exceptionally large, 18,148 sqft lot—a rare find that places it in the top 2% of all properties in Winnipeg for land size. Built in 1972, the 1,255 sqft house features a finished basement and a detached garage. Its appeal lies not just in the generous, private outdoor space, but in its strong positional value within a well-established neighborhood. The property ranks highly for both lot size and age within its immediate community, suggesting a premium, mature setting.
It would ideally suit buyers who prioritize land and long-term potential over a large existing footprint. This is a property for gardeners, families seeking room to play, or those envisioning future expansions or additions, where the land itself is the primary asset. The solid rankings across the community for value and lot characteristics indicate a home that is a competitive and enduring investment in a desirable area.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "ranking" data actually mean?
The rankings compare this property against others on its street, in Roblin Park, and across all of Winnipeg for specific metrics. For example, being in the top 2% city-wide for lot size confirms its rarity, while ranking in the top 26% in the neighborhood for age shows it's among the newer homes in this mature area.
2. The house is smaller than the lot size might suggest. Is this a concern?
Not necessarily. This configuration offers flexibility. The value is in the land, providing privacy, space for recreation, and the potential for future renovation or expansion that a standard-sized lot cannot.
3. How significant is it that the basement is already finished?
In a one-storey home, a finished basement effectively doubles the liveable space, adding crucial functional rooms. This adds immediate value and utility without being reflected in the main floor square footage.
4. The assessed value ranks higher than the living area size. What does this indicate?
This suggests that assessors attribute significant value to factors beyond just the house's square footage—likely the massive lot size, the finished basement, and the property's desirable location within Roblin Park.
5. Is a detached garage a drawback?
It depends on preference. While less convenient in winter than an attached garage, a detached structure can be ideal for workshops, hobby spaces, or storage, offering separation from the main house and possibly more flexibility for lot layout.
