Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a modest, one-storey home built in 1957 on a standard-sized lot in the Jameswood neighbourhood. With just over 1,000 square feet of living space and no basement, garage, or pool, it represents a straightforward, no-frills property. Its assessed value is notably below average for both the immediate street and the wider city, indicating it is one of the more affordable entry points into the Winnipeg market.

The primary appeal lies in its affordability and its larger-than-average lot for the immediate area, offering potential for outdoor space or future expansion. A less obvious point of appeal is its year of construction: within Jameswood, a 1957 build date is in the top 2%, meaning it is actually one of the newer homes in this particular pocket, which may suggest fewer concerns about very aged infrastructure compared to neighbours. This home would suit first-time buyers, investors looking for a rental property, or downsizers seeking a manageable, single-level layout without a complex footprint. It’s for those prioritizing land and location value over turn-key condition or modern finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the city-wide average?
The assessed value is based on the property's specific characteristics (size, age, features) relative to its local market. This home's smaller size, lack of a basement, and simpler amenities place its municipal assessment in a lower bracket, which is reflected in its lower property taxes.

2. What does "Elite – Top 2%" for Year Built in Jameswood mean?
It means this 1957 home is newer than approximately 98% of comparable properties in the Jameswood area. This statistic highlights that the immediate neighbourhood consists predominantly of older homes, making this one a relatively more recent build in that context.

3. Is there potential to add a basement or garage later?
While the lot size allows for expansion, adding a basement to an existing slab-on-grade home is typically prohibitively expensive and impractical. Adding a detached garage or expanding the main floor footprint, subject to zoning bylaws, would be more feasible avenues for improvement.

4. How reliable are the sold price ranges shown?
The ranges are estimates based on publicly available data. For precise historical sale figures, you must request the exact sold price history via email, as noted on the listing page.

5. What are the implications of having no basement?
It means all mechanical systems (furnace, water heater), storage, and living space are confined to the main floor area. This limits storage options and can mean living areas feel the operational sounds of utilities, but it also eliminates concerns about basement moisture, flooding, or renovation costs associated with below-grade spaces.
