Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,031 sqft, 1956-built home on a 6,056 sqft lot in Windsor Park. Its appeal is rooted in land rather than square footage or a recent build. The lot size is notably large by citywide standards (ranking in the top 29%), giving it more outdoor space than most properties in Winnipeg. The interior is slightly below average for the city, but roughly in line with its immediate street and neighbourhood. The assessed value ($333,000) reflects this: it’s a bit below the local average, largely because the house itself is an older, moderately sized home.
The property suits buyers who value land over finished space, or who see potential in an older home on a generous lot. It’s a realistic entry point for someone who wants a yard with room to garden, build a shop, or expand—without paying a premium for a fully updated interior. It would not be the best fit for someone seeking a turnkey, move-in-ready home with modern finishes, or for a buyer who prioritizes a newer build.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the house small for the neighbourhood?
Not really. Its 1,031 sqft is right around the average for Crestwood Crescent (1,042 sqft) and Windsor Park (1,091 sqft). It’s only when compared to Winnipeg as a whole that it falls a bit short—so it’s completely in line with what’s typical in this area.
2. Why is the assessed value lower than the city average?
The assessment is tied to both the lot and the structure. The lot is large, but the house is older (built in 1956) and modest in size. That combination keeps the total value below the citywide average for single-family homes. You’re paying for the land, not a renovated house.
3. How much work would the home likely need?
Given the build year (1956), major systems like electrical, plumbing, roofing, and insulation could be original or near the end of their lifespan. That’s worth verifying in an inspection. The home’s location in the older part of the ranking for its street suggests it hasn’t been updated as recently as its neighbours.
4. Is a 6,056 sqft lot actually unusual?
Yes, for Winnipeg overall. Most properties in the city sit on smaller lots. Locally, it’s close to average for Windsor Park and Crestwood Crescent, so it won’t stand out on the street—but it gives you more yard than the typical city home.
5. Who is this property not right for?
Buyers looking for a recently renovated or higher-end interior, or anyone who doesn’t want to deal with the maintenance of a 70-year-old home. It’s also less suitable if a smaller, lower-maintenance yard is preferred, given the lot size is above average.
