Property Overview: 215 Smithfield Avenue, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This one-and-a-half storey home on Smithfield Avenue in the Jefferson area presents a compelling mix of space, location, and value. Its key characteristic is an exceptionally large lot—over 7,700 square feet—which places it in the top 1% of properties in Jefferson for land area. This offers rare potential for gardening, expansion, or simply enjoying generous outdoor space. The living area (1,192 sq ft) is comfortably above average for both the street and the neighborhood, and the home benefits from a renovated basement.

The appeal lies in its strong positional value. The property’s assessed value ranks highly within its immediate area, suggesting it is viewed favorably compared to its peers. While it’s a classic 1949 build, its recent sale history indicates growing market interest. This home would suit a buyer looking for a established neighborhood with room to breathe, who values a larger parcel of land over a brand-new build. It’s ideal for someone with a vision for outdoor living or future projects, and who appreciates a home that stands out in its local context for its lot size and above-average interior space.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare to a typical city lot?
At 7,742 sq ft, this lot is significantly larger than the Winnipeg city average of approximately 6,570 sq ft, and is notably larger than most lots in the Jefferson area.

2. What does the "above average" assessed value ranking mean for taxes?
A higher assessed value relative to nearby homes generally means you may pay proportionally higher property taxes, but it also often reflects a stronger perceived market value for the property itself.

3. The home was built in 1949. What should I consider?
While the basement has been renovated, a home of this age will likely have original elements (like plumbing, electrical, or windows) that may require updating or maintenance. A thorough inspection is advised.

4. Is the detached garage a standard size?
The listing confirms a detached garage but does not specify its size. This would be an important point to verify, especially if you have larger vehicles or need workshop space.

5. The sold price history shows a range. How can I get the exact figure?
