Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This one-storey home at 90 Cornwall Boulevard in Winnipeg's Jameswood neighbourhood presents a straightforward, no-frills opportunity. Its key appeal lies in being an affordable entry point into the Winnipeg market, particularly suited to a first-time buyer, an investor, or someone seeking a low-maintenance, single-level living space.

Built in 1957, the home is notably older than most in its immediate area, which can be a double-edged sword. While it may require more attention to maintenance or updates, it also stands on a mature lot in an established community. With 884 square feet of living space and no basement, the floor plan is compact and efficient. The assessed value is significantly below city averages, indicating a lower property tax burden and a accessible price point.

The home would best suit a pragmatic buyer who prioritizes location and lot ownership over move-in-ready perfection. It’s a property that offers a canvas for gradual improvement or a stable, low-cost holding. Its smaller size and one-level layout could also appeal to those looking to downsize or seeking easier accessibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the "below average" ranking for size and value actually mean for a buyer?
It primarily means affordability and lower property taxes. While the living space is modest, it translates to a purchase price and ongoing tax bill that are well below the norm for the city, freeing up budget for renovations or savings.

2. The home is noted as being much older than others on the street. Is this a concern?
It's a key consideration. An older home in a younger neighbourhood may have outdated mechanical systems (like plumbing or wiring) compared to neighbours. However, it also often means a more established, larger lot and mature landscaping, which newer homes nearby may not have.

3. There is no basement or garage. How does this impact utility and storage?
This significantly reduces storage and mechanical space. Furnaces and water heaters will be on the main floor, and all storage must be accommodated within the 884 sqft footprint or a potential shed. This emphasizes the need for creative space solutions but also eliminates basement moisture concerns.

4. The sold price history shows values between $20k and $28k. Is this accurate?
The ranges shown are based on public data. For exact historical sale prices, you must request the information directly via the provided email service. These figures confirm the home's position in the very affordable segment of the market.

5. Who would this property NOT be well-suited for?
It would likely not suit a growing family needing multiple bedrooms and ample living space, a buyer wanting a modern, turn-key home without renovation projects, or someone who requires extensive indoor storage or workshop areas provided by a basement or garage.
