Property Overview: 635 Townsend Avenue, Fort Richmond, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-situated one-storey home in Fort Richmond presents a practical and comfortable living proposition. Its key characteristics include 1,107 sqft of living space, a renovated basement, a detached garage, and a generous 6,498 sqft lot. Built in 1972, it is notably newer than many homes on its own street and in the wider city.

The appeal lies in its balanced, above-average positioning within its immediate neighborhood. While the living area is modest compared to some Fort Richmond homes, the property holds a high assessed value for Townsend Avenue, suggesting desirable updates, condition, or lot value. The renovated basement adds functional living space, and the large lot by city-wide standards offers valuable outdoor room and potential.

This home would suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable single-level layout in a mature neighborhood. It’s also a strong match for a value-conscious buyer who appreciates a property that stands out positively on its own block, potentially indicating good upkeep and a sound investment relative to its direct peers.


Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s size compare to others nearby?
At 1,107 sqft, the living area is slightly below the average for the Fort Richmond area but is around the typical size seen city-wide. On its own street, Townsend Avenue, it ranks in the top 39% for size, meaning it is actually larger than many of its closest neighbors.

2. The assessed value seems high for a home of this size. Why?
The assessment of $430k ranks in the top 15% on Townsend Avenue. This suggests that factors beyond raw square footage—such as the renovated basement, lot size, overall condition, and specific upgrades—are positively influencing its municipal valuation compared to nearby properties.

3. What does the lot size offer?
The 6,498 sqft lot is above the city-wide average, providing more private outdoor space than many Winnipeg homes. This is a key asset for gardening, recreation, or future expansion, and it contributes significantly to the property’s value.

4. Is the age of the home (1972) a concern?
Built in 1972, the home is newer than most on its street and is around the average age for Fort Richmond. This can be an advantage, potentially meaning updates to major systems (like electrical or plumbing) may have already been addressed in line with modern standards.

5. Where can I find the exact historical sale price?
The listed sale history shows an estimated range. To obtain the precise sale price from its last transaction, you can request it via email through the listing page. This service is provided manually without obligation for marketing spam.
