Highlights & common questions: 799 Beach Avenue, Winnipeg

Property Overview & Appeal

This one-and-a-half storey home at 799 Beach Avenue in East Elmwood is a classic Winnipeg post-war property, built in 1949. Its key characteristics include a modest 894 sqft of living space, a renovated basement, and a detached garage on a standard city lot of just over 4,300 sqft. The home sits comfortably in the middle of the pack for its immediate area—its size, assessed value, and lot are all around the neighbourhood average. This creates a grounded, no-surprises profile.

The appeal lies in its established, quiet location on Beach Avenue and its recent sale history, suggesting it's a move-in ready home in a stable community. It would particularly suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable, single-family home without the premium of a newer build or a larger footprint. A thoughtful perspective is that while its citywide rankings for size and value are below average, this actually highlights its affordability and represents a classic entry point into the Winnipeg market. The renovated basement adds functional living space, a valuable update for a home of this era.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the assessed value an accurate reflection of the likely sale price?
Not necessarily. The home last sold in September 2022 for $33,200, which was above its current assessed value of $26,600. Market conditions, the home's updated condition, and buyer demand will ultimately determine the sale price.

2. How does the living space compare to nearby homes?
At 894 sqft, it's slightly smaller than the average for both Beach Avenue (1,048 sqft) and East Elmwood (1,065 sqft). This suggests a more compact and efficient layout, which can mean lower utility costs and less maintenance.

3. What does the "one-and-a-half storey" design typically mean for a 1949 home?
This style often features a main floor with living areas and a kitchen, with sloping ceilings in the upper half-storey where bedrooms are located. It's a charming, classic design but may have cozier bedroom spaces.

4. The home is older—what should I be mindful of?
While the basement is renovated, a home from 1949 may still have original components like plumbing, electrical, or the roof nearing the end of their service life. A thorough inspection is recommended.

5. How does the lot size impact the property?
At 4,339 sqft, the lot is very typical for the area. It provides a good backyard space for gardening or recreation but is not oversized. The detached garage is a plus, but the lot doesn't allow for significant expansion without variances.
