Property Overview
This two-storey home at 887 Selkirk Avenue presents a distinct blend of historic character and practical updates. Built in 1896, it is notably older than most homes in Winnipeg, offering classic architecture but also implying a need for ongoing maintenance typical of its age. Its key appeal lies in its above-average living space (1,242 sq ft) for both its street and the Burrows Central neighbourhood, providing more room than many comparable local properties. The home sits on a standard city lot and features a renovated basement and a detached garage.
The property suits buyers looking for a character home with established roots in a core neighbourhood, without a premium price tag. Its assessed value is modest relative to the wider city, suggesting an accessible entry point. It would particularly appeal to value-conscious buyers, DIY enthusiasts comfortable with the upkeep of an older home, or those seeking a spacious interior in a neighbourhood where that is a relative advantage. The 2021 sale price of $190k aligns with the local market, indicating stability.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the main considerations with a home built in 1896?
Expect charming original features but also prioritize inspections for foundational integrity, wiring, plumbing, and insulation. Ongoing maintenance will be a factor, but the renovated basement is a positive modern update.
2. How does the living space compare to the area?
The home's interior is notably more spacious than many in the immediate vicinity, ranking in the top 21% on its street for living area. This is one of its key advantages over similar local properties.
3. What does the assessed value indicate?
The assessed value is consistent with the local area but is significantly below the Winnipeg city average. This typically translates to lower property taxes, which is a financial advantage, but it also reflects the home's age and neighbourhood market values.
4. Is the lot size a pro or a con?
At just over 3,000 sq ft, the lot is average for Burrows Central but below the citywide average. It provides standard outdoor space for the neighbourhood without extensive yard maintenance demands.
5. Who might this property not suit?
It may not be ideal for those seeking a modern, low-maintenance home or who are uncomfortable with the potential for repairs common in houses over a century old. Buyers prioritizing a large yard or a newer build should look elsewhere.
