Property Overview: 539 Jamison Avenue, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-storey home on Jamison Avenue in Chalmers presents a practical and affordable entry point into the Winnipeg market. Its key characteristic is its modest, efficient scale, with 688 sqft of living space and a recently renovated basement, making it a low-maintenance option. The detached garage adds valuable utility and storage.
The appeal lies in its value proposition and location context. While the home is smaller than most in the city, its assessed value is competitive for its immediate area and street, suggesting it's priced appropriately within a more affordable neighbourhood. A thoughtful perspective is that a home of this size and vintage (built in 1959, which is newer than many on the street) can offer lower heating, tax, and upkeep costs, appealing to those seeking financial simplicity. The lot, while smaller than the city average, is a manageable size for minimal outdoor upkeep.
This property would best suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors looking for a straightforward, no-frills home. It’s for someone prioritizing function and affordability over space, who sees a renovated basement and a garage as key assets rather than needing extensive square footage.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the house unusually small?
Yes, at 688 sqft, it is significantly smaller than the Winnipeg city average. However, it is more in line with the scale of other homes on Jamison Avenue and in the Chalmers neighbourhood, where smaller, efficient homes are common.
2. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the details. A viewing is essential to see the quality, layout, and whether it includes a legal suite, additional bedrooms, or simply finished living space.
3. How does the assessed value compare to the last sale price?
The home was last sold in October 2021 for $25,500. Its current assessed value is $22,400. This difference is an important point of discussion with a real estate agent to understand current market value.
4. What are the neighbours like?
The nearby properties are a mix of very close neighbouring houses and newer builds (like the one from 2018 next door). This suggests a street that may be seeing gradual reinvestment and change.
5. Is the lot size a limitation?
The lot of 2,542 sqft is below average but typical for the area. It provides a manageable yard space without the burden of extensive landscaping, which could be a positive for those seeking low maintenance.
