Property Overview: 481 Giroux Street, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This one-and-a-half storey home in Dufresne presents a practical opportunity. Built in 1929, it offers 1,132 sqft of living space, which is notably above average for its immediate street and neighbourhood. A key feature is its renovated basement, adding functional space, and the property includes a detached garage. The lot is a manageable 3,425 sqft.

Its primary appeal lies in its value proposition within a well-established community. The recent sale price suggests it may offer more interior space for your budget compared to other local options. It suits first-time buyers looking for a character home with some updates, or investors seeking a rental property with a solid baseline in a mature neighbourhood. A thoughtful perspective is that while its assessed value is lower than many city-wide averages, this can indicate a potentially lower property tax burden relative to the usable living space you’re acquiring.
