Property Overview: 59 Sanctuary Road
This two-storey home in Roblin Park offers a compelling blend of space, established charm, and a strong value position within Winnipeg. Built in 1987, it sits on a generous 7,017 sqft lot and features 2,424 sqft of living space, including a finished basement. Its key appeal lies in its above-average size and lot dimensions for the area, providing room to grow or enjoy. The home ranks notably high city-wide for its living area and assessed value, indicating a property that offers more square footage than most in Winnipeg. It would particularly suit buyers looking for a well-sized family home in a mature neighbourhood without a premium for brand-new construction, or value-conscious purchasers who prioritize space and land over recent updates.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the age of the home (built 1987) factor into its value?
While not new, the home is newer than most in its immediate neighbourhood and across Winnipeg, ranking in the top 10% locally for its build year. This suggests a potentially more modern layout and systems than older area homes, but buyers should still budget for maintenance and updates expected of a nearly 40-year-old property.
2. The home has no garage. Is adding one feasible?
The large lot size (over 7,000 sqft) is a significant asset here and does provide the physical space to consider adding a detached garage or carport, subject to local zoning and bylaws. The lack of a garage is reflected in the current assessment.
3. What do the competitive rankings actually mean?
They show how this property compares to others in key metrics. For example, ranking in the top 3% in Winnipeg for living area means it's larger than 97% of city homes. However, its lower ranking within its own street for size suggests the immediate block consists of other very spacious homes.
4. Is the finished basement included in the 2,424 sqft living area?
Typically, living area (or above-grade square footage) refers to space above ground. The finished basement is an additional feature, adding usable space that is not usually counted in that primary square footage figure.
5. Why is the community ranking for land area lower than for other features?
While the lot is large by city standards, Roblin Park itself contains many properties with similarly sizable or larger lots, making this home's ranking within the neighborhood itself more competitive. It highlights the character of the area as one of established, spacious properties.
