30 Pitcairn Place – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1966-built home with 1,078 sqft of living space on a notably large 7,464 sqft lot. The lot size stands out: it ranks 1st on its street (top 8%), 281st in Windsor Park (top 8%), and 26,688th citywide (top 14%) — all well above average. The home itself is newer than most in the immediate neighbourhood (top 7% in Windsor Park for build year), and its assessed value of $378,000 sits slightly above the local average but close to the citywide median.
The appeal here is less about the house itself being exceptional in square footage, and more about what the land offers. In a city where average lot sizes hover around 6,570 sqft, this property provides noticeably more outdoor space without the home feeling oversized. That combination — a modest, well-maintained postwar home on a generous lot — tends to attract buyers who value yard space, gardening, or future expansion potential, but don't need or want a larger floor plan. It's also in a solid mid-range position citywide for tax assessment, which may appeal to those looking for reasonable property taxes relative to the land they're getting.
This property would suit buyers who prioritize outdoor space over interior square footage, and who are comfortable with a 1960s-era home that may benefit from updates over time. It's less ideal for someone seeking a move-in-ready modern interior or a compact, low-maintenance yard.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living space compare to other homes nearby?
It's close to average. At 1,078 sqft, it's slightly smaller than the citywide average of 1,342 sqft, but nearly identical to the Windsor Park average of 1,091 sqft. On its street, it ranks 7th out of 12 homes.
2. Is this property overpriced compared to others in the area?
Not especially. The assessed value is $378,000, which is above the Windsor Park average ($354,000) but below the citywide average ($390,000). It ranks in the top 22% of the neighbourhood for value, meaning it's assessed higher than most nearby homes — likely driven by the larger lot.
3. How old is the house, and has it been renovated?
Built in 1966, it's newer than most homes in Windsor Park (average build year 1961) and on its street (average 1965). There's no renovation history provided here, but the age suggests systems like plumbing, electrical, and roofing may be original or partially updated — worth verifying.
4. What makes the lot size such a big selling point?
It's the largest lot on the street and in the top 8% of Windsor Park. At 7,464 sqft, it's about 1,400 sqft larger than the neighbourhood average and nearly 900 sqft above the city average. That extra space is rare in this area and opens up possibilities for gardens, sheds, playsets, or even a future addition (subject to zoning).
5. How does this property compare to others in the broader Winnipeg market?
It sits in a comfortable middle ground. Living area is below the city average, lot size is well above, and assessed value is slightly below the citywide average. It's not a standout in any single metric except land, which positions it as a value play for someone who wants more outdoor space without paying for a larger home.
