Property Overview: 888 Burrows Avenue
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-and-three-quarter storey home, built in 1913, presents a straightforward opportunity in Winnipeg's Burrows Central neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in its value proposition and potential. The lot size (2,975 sq ft) is typical for the street but offers a relative advantage within the immediate area, providing a decent footprint for the neighbourhood. With 1,098 sq ft of living space, the house is actually above average in size for Burrows Central, suggesting a practical layout for its category.
The home suits buyers looking for an entry point into the market, an investor considering a hold-and-renovate strategy, or someone seeking a functional property without a premium price tag. Its notably low assessed value signals a property that may require updates, as the basement is noted as unrenovated and there is no garage. The appeal is grounded in essentials: space, location, and a foundation to build upon, rather than in immediate move-in readiness. A thoughtful perspective is that its older construction date (1913) is actually around the neighbourhood average, indicating it's a characteristic of the area's housing stock rather than a unique drawback, potentially simplifying future renovations that adhere to local norms.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does "one-and-three-quarter storey" mean?
This is a common Winnipeg architectural style where the second floor has slightly less floor area than the main floor, often with sloped ceiling lines on the upper level, providing character but sometimes requiring creative furniture placement.
2. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the city-wide average?
Assessed values are based on market area, property characteristics, and sales. This assessment reflects the home's condition, age, and the local market in Burrows Central. It is important to note that assessed value is for taxation purposes and does not necessarily predict final sale price.
3. What is the significance of the lot size rankings?
The data shows the lot is around average for Burrows Avenue but ranks higher (Top 76%) within the broader Burrows Central area. This means you're getting a more typical city lot on the street itself, but one that is slightly larger than many other lots in the wider neighbourhood.
4. Are the systems (roof, wiring, plumbing) original?
Given the home's age (1913), crucial systems have likely been updated over time. A specific inspection would be necessary to determine the current state of the roof, electrical, plumbing, and heating.
5. What are the immediate priorities for maintenance or investment?
The unrenovated basement is a key area to assess for moisture, insulation, and foundational integrity. With no garage, planning for off-street parking or storage would also be a practical early consideration. The 1913 build date suggests energy efficiency upgrades could offer long-term savings.
