Property Overview: 1891 Alexander Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a modest, one-storey home built in 1955 on a 3,543 sqft lot in Brooklands. Its primary appeal lies in its land value and location-specific context. With a compact 624 sqft living area and no basement, garage, or pool, the house itself is functionally basic. However, the lot size is notably above average for Alexander Avenue and the broader Brooklands area, representing a significant portion of the property's value.

The home suits specific buyer profiles: first-time buyers or investors seeking an entry point into the market with a lower purchase price and tax assessment, or those viewing it primarily as a land play. Its condition suggests it may be a candidate for a full renovation to modernize the living space or, given the lot size, potential redevelopment in the future (subject to zoning). A less obvious perspective is its appeal to downsizers or individuals seeking minimal upkeep, as the small living area and lack of basement can mean lower utility costs and less maintenance. The 1955 build date is newer than many homes on its street, which may imply somewhat more modern construction fundamentals than immediate neighbours.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the main value driver for this property?
The value is primarily in the land. The lot is larger than most on the street and in Brooklands, while the dwelling itself is small and modestly assessed.

2. Who would this property be most suitable for?
It's best suited for budget-conscious buyers, investors, or those with renovation plans who are attracted by the lot size. It may also work for someone seeking a minimal, low-maintenance living space.

3. How does it compare to other properties in the area?
The data shows a contrast: its lot size ranks well above average for the street, but its living space and assessed value are well below average for Brooklands and Winnipeg overall.

4. Are there any major limitations to be aware of?
Yes. The living space is very compact, and the lack of a basement, garage, or any noted updates suggests limited storage and potential immediate updates needed for comfort.

5. What does the sale history indicate?
It last sold in July 2022 for $140,000, which is its current assessed value. This suggests a stable, lower-end market value in recent years.
