Property Summary: 856 Manhattan Avenue, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a modest, one-storey home built in 1950 on a standard-sized lot in East Elmwood. Its primary appeal lies in its affordability and straightforward footprint. At 735 sqft, the living space is compact—smaller than most homes on its street, in the neighbourhood, and across Winnipeg. This translates to lower utility costs and minimal upkeep. The assessed value is average for the immediate area, suggesting it's priced appropriately within its local context rather than being an outlier.
The home suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking an entry point into the market without a complex project. Its value is grounded in the land and location, not in size or finishes (the basement is noted as unrenovated). A thoughtful perspective is that its smaller scale offers a simpler, more manageable lifestyle, and its "around average" metrics for the street indicate it fits comfortably within an established, stable community block. It's a practical choice for those who prioritize financial accessibility and a traditional neighbourhood feel over modern square footage.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the house in need of major updates?
The listing notes the basement is not renovated. As a 1950s build, buyers should budget for potential updates to major systems like plumbing or electrical, and anticipate that the main living areas may also reflect its era.
2. How does the size compare to nearby homes?
At 735 sqft, this home's living area is below the average for Manhattan Avenue (~940 sqft), East Elmwood (~1,065 sqft), and Winnipeg overall (~1,342 sqft). It is a compact, efficient layout.
3. What is the neighbourhood like?
East Elmwood is a mature, established neighbourhood. The property's metrics (like assessed value and year built) are consistently around average for its immediate street and area, indicating a stable, typical streetscape without extreme highs or lows.
4. Why did the sale price jump in 2021?
The home sold for $310,000 in November 2021, which was significantly higher than its 2019 and 2017 sales. This likely reflects the peak of the recent market surge. The current assessed value of $240k provides a different, government-assessed benchmark.
5. Is there potential for expansion or adding a garage?
The lot is a standard city size (~4,233 sqft). While space exists, any expansion or addition of a garage would be subject to zoning bylaws, setback requirements, and would need to be weighed against the home's current value.
