Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home, built in 1907, presents a distinct profile. Its primary appeal lies in its generous 1,800 sqft of living space, which ranks within the top 4% of homes on its own street and the top 3% within the Jefferson neighbourhood. This makes it a notably spacious option in its local context, ideal for buyers needing more room than what's typically available in the area. The property features a basement (not renovated) and sits on a 3,095 sqft lot.

The home suits practical buyers who prioritize interior space over modern updates or a large yard. Its assessed value is modest relative to the citywide average, suggesting an accessible entry point into a character home. A thoughtful perspective for the right buyer is viewing its 1907 construction not just as age, but as a source of potential historic charm and solid craftsmanship, albeit with the understanding that maintenance and systems updates are likely. This property is a fit for someone comfortable with a project, seeking value through square footage rather than turn-key condition, and who appreciates being in an established neighbourhood.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the "below average" ranking for Year Built mean?
It indicates this home is among the oldest in its comparison groups. Built in 1907, it is significantly older than most homes on its street, in Jefferson, and across Winnipeg. This suggests potential for character but also underscores the importance of a thorough inspection for the condition of its structure, wiring, and plumbing.

2. If the living area is top-tier but the assessed value is below average, what's the implication?
This combination typically suggests the home's interior space is a strong asset, but its overall value is moderated by other factors—likely its age, the condition of the basement, the absence of a garage, and a lot size that is smaller than area averages. It highlights a value proposition centered on space per dollar.

3. How reliable is the sold price history shown?
The listed sold price is a range based on public data. For the exact historical sale price, you must request it via the provided email service. The listing service states they provide this exact figure manually without using your email for unsolicited marketing.

4. What should I make of the "not renovated" basement note?
This is a straightforward note that the basement is in original or functional condition, not modernized. It represents both a cost-saving in the purchase price and a clear opportunity for future improvement or additional living space, subject to necessary permits and inspections.

5. The home has no garage. How does this compare to the area?
The lack of a garage is noted in the specs. While not directly compared in the rankings, the smaller-than-average lot size for the area (ranking in the bottom 25% in Jefferson) may limit options for adding a detached garage, making on-street or potential driveway parking a key consideration.
