Property Overview
This one-storey home on College Avenue is defined by its compact size and significant potential. Built in 1912, it sits on a 2,277 sqft lot. With 588 sqft of living space, an unrenovated basement, and no garage, the property’s primary appeal lies in its land value and opportunity for renewal. It last sold for $210,000 in January 2025, a price that sits above average for the immediate street but below the Winnipeg city-wide average, suggesting a premium for location or lot potential in this specific area.
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer
The home’s key characteristics are its modest scale and its position as a blank canvas. The living area is notably smaller than most comparable homes in Burrows Central, the street, and the city. The lot, while below average in size for the area, represents the core asset. Its appeal is squarely for the value-conscious buyer, investor, or renovator looking for an entry point into the market where the value is in the land and the structure’s potential, not in move-in-ready finishes. It suits a hands-on buyer prepared for a renovation project, or an investor considering the lot’s future development potential (where zoning permits). A less obvious perspective is that a home of this size and vintage, once updated, could also appeal to those seeking minimalist living without the premium of a new "tiny home," offering character and affordability.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why did the sale price jump so significantly from ~$12k in 2022 to $210k in 2025?
This dramatic increase almost certainly reflects a change in how the property is categorized or its intended use, likely moving from a value based primarily on land assessment to one reflecting a livable residential property, possibly after some initial improvements or a change in ownership strategy.
2. What are the main considerations for renovating a home of this age?
Given it was built in 1912, a thorough inspection is essential. Key focuses should be the foundation, electrical wiring, plumbing, and insulation. An unrenovated basement suggests these core systems may be original or outdated, so budgeting for these fundamental updates should be the first priority before cosmetic changes.
3. How does the small lot size impact future plans?
At 2,277 sqft, the lot is smaller than many in the neighbourhood. This may limit options for large additions or secondary structures. Any renovation or expansion plans would need to be carefully designed to maximize the available space and must comply with local setback and coverage bylaws.
4. Is the assessed value a good indicator of the market price?
No, the listed assessed value of $11.4k is clearly not reflective of the residential market price, as demonstrated by the 2025 sale. This low assessment is likely for land/value tax purposes and should not be used as a benchmark for purchase price.
5. What is the neighbourhood like?
Located in Burrows Central, the area consists of older, established homes. The property’s sale price performing better on its street than in the wider neighbourhood or city suggests the immediate block may be perceived as a more desirable micro-location within the area.
