Property Summary: 1091 Dorchester Avenue, Crescentwood, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-and-a-half storey home, built in 1943, presents a practical opportunity in the established Crescentwood neighbourhood. With 1,225 square feet of living space and a 4,000 sqft lot, its scale is more modest than many area homes, placing it in the lower tier locally for size. This is balanced by a relatively newer build date compared to its immediate peers and an assessed value that is around average for its street but below the Crescentwood average.
The primary appeal lies in its position within a desirable neighbourhood at a potentially accessible entry point. It suits a specific buyer: someone seeking a character-home location without the largest footprint or the highest premium. It would fit a first-time buyer or downsizer who values neighbourhood over sheer space, and is prepared for a home with an unrenovated basement and no garage. A thoughtful perspective is that its "below average" metrics for the area could represent a lower property tax burden relative to neighbouring, larger estates, while still providing the same coveted address and mature streetscape.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this a small house?
Compared to other homes in Crescentwood, yes, it is on the smaller side for both living area and lot size. However, by city-wide standards, its living space is around the Winnipeg average.
2. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the last sale price?
The home sold for $31,600 in September 2020, but its current assessed value is $38,300. It's important to consult a real estate professional to understand current market value, as assessed value for taxation purposes often differs from resale value.
3. What does "basement, not renovated" imply?
This indicates the basement exists but is in original or functional condition, not updated as modern living space. Buyers should budget for potential updates or use it for storage and utilities as-is.
4. How does the lack of a garage affect daily life in this neighbourhood?
Street parking will be necessary. Prospective buyers should observe parking availability on the street at different times to gauge convenience.
5. The home is older, but the data says it's "above average" for year built on its street. What does that mean?
Many homes on Dorchester Avenue and in Crescentwood were built earlier in the 20th century. A 1943 build date is actually newer than many neighbouring properties, which may suggest somewhat newer building materials or systems, though a full inspection is always recommended.
