Highlights & common questions: 655 Jessie Avenue, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This one-and-a-half storey home on Jessie Avenue in Earl Grey presents a practical and updated living space. Its key appeal lies in being a well-maintained, move-in-ready property within a mature and established neighbourhood. With 1,384 square feet of living space and a renovated basement, it offers functional room for a small family or couple. The detached garage adds convenience. The home stands out on its street for its relatively newer 1952 construction, suggesting potentially fewer major age-related concerns than many of its neighbours. It suits buyers looking for a character home with modernized fundamentals, who value the quiet, tree-lined streets of Earl Grey over a sprawling lot, as the property sits on a standard city-sized parcel.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare to others in the area?
The data shows this home is consistently above average for the Earl Grey neighbourhood in both living space and assessed value. Its 1952 build date is notably newer than most homes on the street and in the area, which is a distinct advantage.

2. What does the "renovated basement" entail?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated, but specifics on finish quality, ceiling height, legal egress, or moisture control should be verified with the seller's disclosure and a professional inspection.

3. Is the lot size a limitation?
At just under 3,400 sq ft, the lot is typical for older city neighbourhoods but is below the city-wide average. It provides a manageable yard for gardening or relaxation without extensive upkeep, but may not suit those seeking vast outdoor space.

4. How stable is the property value here?
The home's assessed value ranks well above average for Earl Grey, indicating it is in a desirable pocket. The recent sale price aligns closely with city-wide averages, suggesting a stable, market-supported value.

5. What are the less obvious considerations?
While newer than its neighbours, a 74-year-old home still requires a diligent inspection of its core systems. The "one-and-a-half storey" design often means unique second-floor spaces with sloped ceilings. The high ranking for year built also implies that future buyers may similarly value this relative modernity.
