Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This 1977 bi-level home at 5745 Roblin Boulevard offers a practical and spacious layout on a large, nearly 6,800 sqft lot in Southboine, Winnipeg. Its key appeal lies in its generous, usable land—a significant asset in a mature neighbourhood—combined with the flexible living space provided by a finished basement. The home's 1,192 sqft of living area is configured over two levels, featuring a split garage.
Its competitive rankings reveal a nuanced position: while the property's lot size and overall value sit in the top 19-44% citywide, the living space and assessed value are more modest within its immediate community. This creates an interesting proposition for buyers who prioritize land over a large interior footprint. The home would suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or practical investors seeking a solid, no-frills property with room to garden, entertain outdoors, or potentially expand in the future. It’s a grounded choice for those who see value in the land itself and the stability of an established area.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "finished basement" include?
The listing confirms a finished basement but does not specify the rooms or finish quality. Buyers should inquire about the layout (e.g., bedrooms, living space), ceiling height, and whether it includes a separate entrance or bathroom.
2. How does the split garage function?
A split garage typically means two separate single-car garage doors side-by-side, rather than one large double door. This can be advantageous for storage organization or if one bay is used as a workshop.
3. The citywide rankings are strong, but the community rankings are lower. Why?
This pattern suggests the home is a solid property overall for Winnipeg, but may be more modest in size or assessed value compared to some larger or more updated homes directly within the desirable Southboine community. It highlights the value of the lot in a sought-after area.
4. Is the property suitable for future expansion or renovation?
The large lot size is a key asset that could allow for additions like a deck, sunroom, or garage expansion, subject to local zoning bylaws. The bi-level style also often allows for relatively straightforward main-floor expansions.
5. What are the typical property taxes for this assessment?
With a current assessed value of $367,000, prospective buyers should contact the City of Winnipeg or their financial advisor for an estimate of annual property taxes, as the mill rate is not included in the listing.
