Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a modest, one-storey home built in 1942, situated on a standard city lot in the Inkster-Faraday neighbourhood. Its key characteristic is its affordability, reflected in a low assessed value that places it well below the Winnipeg citywide average. The living space is compact at 760 sq ft, and the home features a basement (not renovated) and a detached garage.

The primary appeal lies in its position as a genuine entry-point into homeownership or as a potential investment property. For its immediate area, the lot size is above average, offering valuable outdoor space relative to neighbouring plots. It suits first-time buyers with a limited budget who are willing to take on a project, or investors looking for a low-cost rental property with a manageable footprint. A less obvious perspective is that its smaller size and lower taxes could appeal to someone seeking to downsize and simplify within the city, though the condition of the basement would be a key consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions

3. Is the basement finished?
No, the basement is noted as "not renovated." Buyers should budget for potential upgrades and consider it unfinished space.

4. What are the typical property taxes?

5. What is the condition of a home built in 1942?
