Property Summary: 350 Lynbrook Drive
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a well-established, single-storey home in the Varsity View neighbourhood, built in 1970. Its primary appeal lies in its generous, mature lot of nearly 7,000 square feet—a significant asset in a central area—combined with a practical, move-in-ready layout that includes a finished basement. The home offers a comfortable 1,158 sqft of living space above grade.
The property’s strength is its balanced, above-average positioning in the local market. It ranks highly for its lot size, outperforming 83% of all Winnipeg homes on that metric, suggesting excellent outdoor space and potential. While the house itself is of average size and age for its immediate area, its overall assessed value ranks solidly above the citywide median. This profile suits buyers looking for a grounded, no-fuss home in a established community without the premium of a brand-new build. It would particularly appeal to those who prioritize private outdoor space over sheer interior square footage, or someone seeking a manageable single-level layout with the bonus of developed basement space for family or hobbies.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the ranking data actually mean?
The rankings compare this property against others on its street, in Varsity View, and across all of Winnipeg for specific metrics. For example, ranking in the "top 17%" for lot size in Winnipeg means 83% of city homes have a smaller lot, highlighting this property's standout feature.
2. Is the finished basement included in the listed living area?
No. The listed living area of 1,158 sqft refers to the above-grade, main-floor living space. The finished basement is an additional area, adding functional space not reflected in that square footage figure.
3. What is the significance of a "split" garage?
A split garage, often called a tandem garage, typically means the parking spaces are arranged in a single file line, one behind the other, rather than side-by-side. This can affect parking convenience and how the garage space is utilized for storage.
4. How should I interpret the "age" rankings?
The home was built in 1970, which is older than average. The rankings show it is newer than 48% of Winnipeg homes, placing it in the middle of the pack citywide, but is somewhat older than many homes in its own community. This suggests the neighbourhood has a mix of vintage and more recently updated properties.
5. Does a high lot ranking mean the yard is private or landscaped?
Not necessarily. The ranking is purely based on lot size (area). The current level of landscaping, tree coverage, fencing, and privacy is not detailed by this data and would require a property visit or inquiry to ascertain.
