Property Overview: 976 Selkirk Avenue

Key Characteristics & Buyer Appeal

This is a compact, one-storey home built in 1947, situated on a standard city lot in Winnipeg's Dufferin neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in being a modest, entry-level property with a recently renovated basement, offering functional living space at a very accessible price point. With a living area of 720 sq ft, it is notably smaller than most homes in the city, but its assessed value is strong for the immediate area, ranking well above the Dufferin average.

The home would suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward, low-maintenance property. Its size and scale make it manageable for a single person, a couple, or a small household without requiring extensive upkeep. A thoughtful perspective is that this property represents a practical foothold in the market. While not large, its above-average assessment for the neighbourhood suggests it is perceived as a solid asset within its local context, potentially offering stability rather than flashy appreciation. The renovated basement adds valuable flexible space, which is a significant asset in a smaller home.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the size of this home compare to others?
At 720 sq ft, the living area is below average for Winnipeg, Dufferin, and even for Selkirk Avenue itself. It is a compact home, ideal for those prioritizing simplicity and efficiency.

2. Is the assessed value typical for the area?
Interestingly, no. While the home is small, its assessed value ranks in the top 19% for the Dufferin neighbourhood, meaning it is assessed higher than most comparable local properties. This could indicate perceived sturdiness, lot value, or the impact of the basement renovation.

3. What does the "renovated basement" entail?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope. A professional inspection is recommended to determine the finish quality, legal compliance, and whether it includes a separate entrance or additional bedrooms.

4. Who might this property not suit?
It would likely not suit a growing family needing multiple bedrooms or ample indoor space, or anyone seeking a modern, open-concept layout. The smaller scale and 1947 vintage suggest traditional, compartmentalized rooms.

5. What is the significance of the lot size?
The lot is approximately 4,000 sq ft, which is very typical for the area. It provides adequate outdoor space for a garden or patio but is not unusually large. The value here is in the house itself and its location, not in extensive land.
