Property Overview
This 1961-built bungalow at 808 Pepperloaf Crescent offers a classic and spacious family living experience in the established Roblin Park neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in the combination of a generous, mature lot over 11,300 sqft and a fully finished basement, providing ample room both inside and out. As a one-storey home with 1,225 sqft of living space, it presents a practical layout. The property’s standout characteristic is its exceptional city-wide ranking for lot size, placing it in the top 4% of all Winnipeg homes, which is a rare find. This home would suit buyers looking for a solid, no-frills property with significant outdoor space for gardening, play, or future expansion, and who appreciate the character and greenery of an older, well-established community.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the ranking data actually mean for a buyer?
The rankings show how this property compares to others. Notably, its lot size is in the 96th percentile for Winnipeg, meaning it's larger than 96% of other properties. This is a major advantage. Other metrics, like its age and assessed value, are more average for its immediate area, indicating it's a fairly typical home for the neighbourhood but on a much larger-than-typical parcel of land.
2. Is the 1961 build year a concern?
While the home is 65 years old, which is reflected in its average ranking for age within Winnipeg, this is typical for the Roblin Park area. Buyers should budget for standard maintenance expected of a mature home and ensure thorough inspections for systems like plumbing, electrical, and the roof. The upside is that homes of this era are often solidly built and sit on large lots no longer commonly available.
3. How usable is the "split" or "分体" garage?
A split garage typically refers to a double garage with two separate doors, or possibly a garage separated into distinct bays. This offers flexibility, such as parking in one side and using the other for workshop or storage space. It's a practical feature for families or hobbyists.
4. What are the pros and cons of such a large lot?
The pros are significant: privacy, space for activities, gardens, or potential additions like a shed or deck. The cons involve the ongoing responsibility for maintenance—more lawn to mow, more landscaping to manage—which can mean higher time or cost commitments compared to a standard lot.
5. Does the fully finished basement add significant living space?
Yes, a finished basement effectively doubles the usable living area beyond the 1,225 sqft main floor. This is a key value-add, providing crucial space for a family room, home office, additional bedrooms, or recreational areas, making the home feel much larger than its main floor square footage suggests.
