Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a modest, century-old home (built 1905) in Winnipeg's Centennial neighbourhood, presenting primarily as a land value opportunity. Its key characteristic is the significant disparity between its very small lot size (1,941 sq ft, ranking in the bottom 3% on its street) and its relatively generous living space (1,208 sq ft, ranking in the top 20% on its street). This suggests a compact, efficiently designed one-and-a-half storey layout on a minimal footprint. The home has an unrenovated basement and no garage.

Its appeal lies in its affordability, as evidenced by a very low assessed value, and its efficient use of interior space. It suits a specific type of buyer: those seeking an entry point into homeownership with a focus on the structure itself rather than outdoor space, or an investor looking for a low-cost rental property. It may also attract buyers interested in the character of early 1900s homes who are prepared for the maintenance that comes with an older, unrenovated basement. A less obvious perspective is that its highly efficient land-to-living-area ratio could be seen as a sustainable urban model, minimizing exterior upkeep.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the city-wide average?
The assessed value is based heavily on the property's very small lot size and its location within a context of similarly low-valued homes, not on the interior living space. It reflects the land's market value in this specific area.

2. What does "below average" for land area mean practically?
It means the yard is very small, especially compared to most homes in Winnipeg. Outdoor space for gardening, play, or parking is extremely limited, which is a key trade-off for the low price.

3. Is the older year of build (1905) a concern?
It indicates potential for character but also means systems like wiring, plumbing, and the foundation may be older. The unrenovated basement condition should be carefully inspected. Notably, for the Centennial neighbourhood, its age is actually around the average.

4. Who would this property not suit?
It would not suit buyers who prioritize private outdoor space, need off-street parking (there's no garage), or are unwilling to take on a home with an older, unrenovated basement that may require work.

5. The home sold for less than its assessed value in 2020. Does that matter?
The 2020 sale price is a historical data point. Market conditions and the property's state have likely changed since then. It primarily shows a history of being a low-value transaction, consistent with its overall profile.
