Property Overview: 453 Des Meurons Street
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a classic two-storey home built in 1929, situated on a standard city lot in Central St. Boniface. Its key features include a renovated basement and a detached garage. The home’s primary appeal lies in its efficient use of space; with 1,320 sqft of living area, it offers more room than many comparable homes on its street and in the immediate area, making it a practical and comfortable footprint. The lot size, while below average for the city, is typical for the neighbourhood, offering manageable outdoor space.
This property would suit a first-time homebuyer or a downsizer looking for character in a well-established area without the upkeep of a larger property. Its assessed value sits below the city average, suggesting a potentially accessible entry point into the market. A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents a "right-sized" opportunity: it provides ample living space without the excess square footage that often comes with higher utility costs and maintenance, aligning with a practical, less-is-more approach to homeownership in a historic yet vibrant community.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to others?
The land area of 3,309 sqft is below the Winnipeg city average but is typical for Central St. Boniface. On Des Meurons Street itself, it ranks in the top 82%, meaning it is larger than many of its immediate neighbours.
2. Is the living space generous for a home of this era?
Yes. The living area of 1,320 sqft is above the average for similar homes on its street and is competitive within the broader neighbourhood, offering a comfortable amount of room for a character home.
3. What does the assessed value indicate?
The assessed value of $29,800 is around average for the street and neighbourhood but below the average for Winnipeg as a whole. This can indicate a relatively lower property tax base compared to many city properties.
4. Has the property been updated?
The listing confirms the basement has been renovated. The extent and quality of renovations elsewhere in the 1929 home should be verified through a viewing and inspection.
5. How does the sale history inform the current value?
The home last sold in January 2018 for $25,500. The relationship between that sale price, the current assessed value, and the eventual list price is a key factor for buyers to discuss with their agent to understand market trends and value.
