Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This is a well-maintained, single-storey home in Winnipeg's Varsity View neighbourhood, built in 2000. Its key appeal lies in offering modern, move-in-ready living on a large, 6,001 sqft lot—a combination that can be rare in established areas. The 1,588 sqft living space includes a finished basement, providing ample room for a growing family or those who value single-level living with extra space for recreation or guests. The attached garage adds practical convenience.
The home’s strength is its balanced, above-average standing in several key metrics compared to broader Winnipeg, particularly in lot size, newer construction age, and a high assessed value ranking. It suits buyers looking for a newer build in a mature neighbourhood without the upkeep of an older house, or those prioritizing a sizable yard for children or gardening. It also represents a solid option for downsizers seeking single-storey convenience but who aren’t ready to compromise on indoor and outdoor space.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the "ranking" system work?
The rankings show how this property compares to others in its immediate street, wider neighbourhood, and all of Winnipeg. For example, being newer than 80% of Winnipeg homes indicates a modern build, while being on a larger lot than 69% of the city is a significant advantage.
2. What is the neighbourhood of Varsity View like?
Varsity View is a central, established neighbourhood near the University of Manitoba. It typically offers a mix of academic professionals, families, and long-term residents, with quiet, tree-lined streets and convenient access to amenities and transit.
3. Is the finished basement included in the 1,588 sqft living area?
Typically, living area (sqft) refers to above-grade space. The finished basement is an additional area, adding functional square footage to the home's total usable space.
4. What might explain the high assessed value ranking?
Ranking higher than 89% of Winnipeg homes for assessed value suggests the property’s official valuation is strong. This often reflects the desirable lot size, modern age of the home, finished basement, and the general desirability of the location.
5. Who might this home not suit?
Given its single-storey design and location on a large lot, it may be less ideal for those seeking a multi-level layout or who prefer a very low-maintenance yard. The rankings indicate it is a premium property within its area, which is reflected in its assessment.
