Property Summary: 400 Desautels Street, Winnipeg
Section 1: Overview & Appeal
This two-storey home in Central St. Boniface is defined by its historic character and generous space. Built in 1895, it offers a rare connection to Winnipeg's architectural past. The key appeal lies in its above-average living area (1,680 sqft) and a land parcel (6,254 sqft) that is significantly larger than most in the neighbourhood, providing ample outdoor space and potential in a central location. The home has an unrenovated basement and no garage.
Its appeal is likely strongest for a specific buyer: someone seeking a character home with a substantial lot who is prepared for the realities and rewards of maintaining a century-old property. It’s a project-oriented home suited for a hands-on owner who values history, space, and location over modern turn-key finishes. A less obvious perspective is its value as a long-term hold; the lot size alone in this established area represents a scarcity that could be a sound investment beneath the surface of the older structure.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does "unrenovated basement" typically imply?
It generally means the basement retains its original state. Buyers should anticipate an inspection to understand the condition of the foundation, plumbing, electrical systems, and moisture control, which are common focal points in homes of this age.
2. The assessed value seems low. Why is that?
The assessed value is for taxation purposes and is not a market valuation. It is based on mass appraisal formulas and can differ significantly from what a home sells for, especially for unique, older properties where condition and market demand play major roles.
3. What are the considerations with a home built in 1895?
While offering immense character, prospective buyers should budget for potentially higher maintenance and updates. Key checks include the state of the wiring, plumbing, insulation, and windows. Heritage charm often comes with the need for specialized repairs and a mindful approach to renovations.
4. The lot is large for the area. What are the possibilities?
The above-average lot size is a standout feature. It offers ample yard space, garden potential, and better privacy than neighbouring properties. It may also provide future flexibility, subject to local zoning, for additions or landscaping projects that wouldn't be possible on a standard city lot.
5. Who would this home not suit?
This property is likely not a match for someone seeking a low-maintenance, modern home with updated amenities and immediate move-in readiness. It would also be challenging for those requiring ample off-street parking or garage storage, as the listing indicates no garage.
