Property Overview
This one-and-a-half storey home at 247 Semple Avenue in Winnipeg's Jefferson neighbourhood is a compact, historically grounded property. Built in 1912, it offers 915 square feet of living space on a 3,095 square foot lot, with a detached garage. The data consistently shows its key characteristic: it is a modest, below-average-sized home in a context of larger, newer, and higher-valued properties, both on its street and citywide. Its assessed value is notably low.
Its appeal lies primarily in its position as an accessible entry point into the housing market. The very low assessed value and historically low sale price suggest a potentially low barrier to entry for buyers with a tight budget or those seeking a minimal property tax burden. It would suit a pragmatic first-time buyer, an investor looking for a basic rental property, or someone seeking a humble, no-frills home. A less obvious perspective is its potential for someone interested in the history and character of a 114-year-old home, willing to take on a project that reflects Winnipeg's early 20th-century housing stock. Its smaller lot and footprint also mean lower maintenance demands, which could appeal to those seeking simplicity.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the citywide average?
The assessed value reflects the home's relatively small size, older age, and the specific market conditions of its immediate area. It is consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of homes for value on its street, in Jefferson, and across Winnipeg.
2. What should I know about a house built in 1912?
While offering classic charm, a home of this age will likely have older building systems, materials, and insulation standards. A thorough inspection is essential to understand the condition of the foundation, wiring, plumbing, and roof, and to budget for potential updates or repairs.
3. The living area is below average. How might that affect daily life?
The 915 sqft layout will require efficient use of space. It may suit a single person, a couple, or a small family comfortable with cozy quarters. The one-and-a-half storey design often means bedrooms on the upper floor may have sloped ceilings.
4. The lot is smaller than most in the area. Is that a disadvantage?
It depends on your priorities. A smaller lot (3,095 sqft) means less yard maintenance, which can be a benefit for those wanting to minimize outdoor work. However, it also means less private outdoor space and limited potential for expansions or additions compared to neighbours.
5. Where can I find the exact historical sale price?
The exact sold prices are not publicly displayed in detail here. As noted on the listing, you can request the precise sale history by emailing the provided contact; they manually provide this data without using your email for unsolicited marketing.
