Property Overview: 659 Renfrew Street, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a modest, well-situated one-storey home built in 1955, offering a practical footprint of 946 square feet on a standard 5,499 sqft lot. Its key characteristic is its solid averageness in the local context—its living space, assessed value, and lot size all rank consistently around the middle compared to neighbours on Renfrew Street and in the J.B. Mitchell area. This isn't a standout luxury property, but a grounded, no-surprises home in a mature neighbourhood.
The appeal lies in its renovated basement, which adds functional living space, and its detached garage. It represents an accessible entry point into the Winnipeg market, particularly for first-time buyers, downsizers, or practical investors seeking a straightforward property without extreme highs or lows in its metrics. The home last sold in mid-2020, and its assessed value is in line with area norms, suggesting stability rather than speculative potential. It suits a buyer looking for a manageable, low-maintenance base in a settled community, not someone seeking a premium lot, ultra-modern finishes, or a project home.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this a good value for the area?
Based on the data, the home's assessed value is very typical for Renfrew Street and J.B. Mitchell. You're not overpaying for an inflated location premium, nor are you finding a drastic bargain. It represents market value for a home of its type and age in this neighbourhood.
2. What does "around average" for living space really mean?
At 946 sqft, the living area is smaller than the average home in Winnipeg, but it's quite typical for this specific street and area. This indicates the neighbourhood is comprised of similarly sized, character homes. It's sufficient for a smaller household but may feel compact for a growing family.
3. How updated is the home?
The listing specifically notes a renovated basement, which is a positive functional update. No other major renovations are detailed, so buyers should anticipate the condition of the main floor (and systems like roof, windows, plumbing) to be consistent with a home built in 1955, potentially requiring updates.
4. What are the advantages of a detached garage?
A detached garage offers flexibility—it can be used for vehicle storage, a workshop, or extra storage without impacting the main home's layout. It can also be easier or cheaper to replace or modify independently of the house in the future.
5. Why is the city-wide assessed value comparison so different?
The "city-wide" assessed value bar shows this home's value relative to all Winnipeg properties. Its ranking is average, but the average value shown for the city (390k) is much higher. This simply highlights that 659 Renfrew is valued below the Winnipeg mean, reflecting its more modest size and likely the typical price point of the J.B. Mitchell area compared to newer or more affluent neighbourhoods.
