Property Overview
This two-storey home on Desautels Street in Central St. Boniface is defined by its generous proportions and established location. Built in 1912, it sits on a large 6,865 sqft lot, which is notably above average for both the immediate street and the wider neighbourhood. The 1,852 sqft living area is also spacious compared to local peers. Key features include a detached garage and a basement that is present but not renovated. The home last sold in December 2020.
Key Characteristics & Appeal
The primary appeal of this property lies in its land size and space. The lot is a significant asset, offering ample outdoor potential and a sense of privacy that is becoming rarer in central neighbourhoods. The living space is well-sized for a family. Its position in historic St. Boniface provides charm and convenience. However, the 1912 build date and unrenovated basement indicate a home that would suit a buyer comfortable with maintenance or planning updates. This property is ideal for a purchaser who values a large yard over a modern, turn-key home—perfect for someone looking to put their own stamp on a character property with solid foundational assets like space and location.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does "above average" for land area actually mean here?
It means the lot is larger than most. Specifically, it's in the top 20% on its street and top 6% within Central St. Boniface, offering more outdoor space than the vast majority of nearby homes.
2. Is the older build year (1912) a concern?
It signifies character but also potential. While the structure has stood for over a century, a buyer should budget for ongoing maintenance and potential updates to systems like wiring or plumbing, which is typical for homes of this era.
3. The assessed value seems low. Why is that?
The assessed value (32.7k) is for municipal tax purposes and is not an indicator of market value. Market value is determined by recent sales of comparable properties, like the home's last sale price of 30.2k in 2020.
4. What is the implication of an unrenovated basement?
It presents both a project and potential. It likely requires moisture-proofing, insulation, and finishing to become comfortable living space, but it also offers a blank canvas for customization without the cost of undoing a previous owner's subpar renovation.
5. Who would this property not suit?
It may not suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance, modernized home ready for immediate move-in. The combination of age and unrenovated spaces suggests a need for investment, either through sweat equity or contractor costs, to realize its full potential.
