Property Overview

This 1921 two-storey home on Masson Street in Central St. Boniface presents a compelling blend of historic charm and modern practicality. Its key appeal lies in its above-average living space (1,624 sq ft) for the neighbourhood, paired with a renovated basement, offering more functional room than many nearby homes. The attached garage is a valuable asset in this urban setting. While the lot is modest for the area, it translates to lower maintenance. The home’s recent sale price outperformed local averages, suggesting a well-kept property in a sought-after location.

It would suit buyers looking for a character home in a mature, established neighbourhood who prioritize interior space over extensive yard work. It’s also a strong match for those who value the convenience of St. Boniface—proximity to downtown, The Forks, and French-language institutions—without the premium of a newer build. The renovated basement adds immediate utility for a growing family, a home office, or a rental suite opportunity.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the lot size a disadvantage?
While the land area is below the neighbourhood average, this often means less time and money spent on landscaping and upkeep. For many urban buyers, a smaller, manageable yard is a feature, not a drawback.

2. What does the "above average" assessed value indicate?
A higher assessed value relative to the neighbourhood typically reflects desirable improvements, above-standard condition, or favourable attributes of the specific property. It’s a positive signal, but market value is ultimately determined by recent sales and buyer demand.

3. Given its age, what should I be prepared for?
A home from 1921 will have character but may also have older systems (like plumbing or electrical) unless specifically updated. A thorough inspection is essential. The renovated basement is a significant modern advantage.

4. How does this price compare to the area?
The sale price ranked in the top 15% for the neighbourhood, meaning it sold for more than most comparable homes in Central St. Boniface. This indicates buyers perceived superior value in this specific property.

5. Who are the typical neighbours?
The immediate proximity of similar-aged homes on Masson Street suggests a stable, established streetscape. The mix of assessed values nearby points to a varied community, likely including long-term residents and newer owners drawn to the area's appeal.
