68 De Bourmont Bay – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,135 sqft home on a 4,992 sqft lot, built in 1956, with an assessed value of $333,000. Its main appeal is size: the living area ranks in the top 22% on the street and top 26% within Windsor Park, meaning it offers more interior space than most nearby homes. That said, the lot is on the smaller side for the area, and the assessed value is below street and neighbourhood averages, which could translate to relatively lower property taxes. The home’s age is typical for the street but older than much of the surrounding community and city overall.
This property would suit a buyer who prioritises interior square footage over outdoor space, and who is comfortable with a home from the mid-1950s. It may appeal to someone looking for a solid, entry-level house in a settled neighbourhood—particularly buyers who want more room inside without paying a premium for land or a newer build. Those who value a large yard or a recently built home would likely want to look elsewhere.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the property tax compare to similar homes in the area?
The assessed value is below the street average of $358,000 and below the Windsor Park average of $354,000. This suggests property taxes are likely on the lower side relative to neighbours, but still close to the middle when compared citywide.
2. Is the lot big enough for additions or a garage?
The lot is 4,992 sqft, which is about 13% smaller than the street average. It's large enough for a typical detached home and a driveway, but may be tight if you're planning a major extension or a detached garage. Check local zoning rules before planning work.
3. How old is the house, and has it likely been updated?
The home was built in 1956, which is older than both the Windsor Park and Winnipeg averages. Whether it’s been updated isn’t stated here, but homes of this vintage often benefit from recent mechanical or structural upgrades. A home inspection will clarify what’s original.
4. Is this a good neighbourhood for families?
Windsor Park is a well-established residential area. This home is within a standard suburban setting. It’s worth noting the lot is smaller than many in the community, so outdoor play space may feel limited, but the interior is above average in size.
