Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-maintained one-storey home on Hartford Avenue in the Jefferson neighbourhood presents a practical and comfortable living opportunity. Built in 1955, its 1,090 sqft living area is squarely average for its local context, offering a manageable size for everyday living. A key feature is the renovated basement, which adds valuable finished space. The home includes an attached garage for convenience.

The appeal here is one of stability and value within its community. The data reveals a thoughtful perspective: while the lot size is smaller than most in the area, the home's assessed value ranks above average for Jefferson. This suggests the property is well-regarded and maintained relative to its immediate peers. It’s a home that doesn’t stand out for sheer size, but rather for offering solid, updated fundamentals in a mature neighbourhood.

This property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a move-in-ready, single-level home without an overwhelming yard to maintain. It’s ideal for someone seeking a straightforward property in an established area, where the value has been preserved through updates like the basement renovation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size impact the property?
The land area is approximately 3,283 sqft, which is smaller than many lots in Jefferson and city-wide. This means less exterior maintenance, but also limits potential for large additions or extensive landscaping. It contributes to a low-maintenance lifestyle.

2. What does the above-average assessed value in Jefferson indicate?
While the assessed value is around average city-wide, ranking in the top 18% within Jefferson suggests the municipality views this property more favorably than many in the immediate neighbourhood. This often reflects factors like renovations, general condition, and desirability of the specific location.

3. Is the renovated basement a full suite?
The listing notes a renovated basement but does not specify it as a legal suite. Buyers should verify the nature of the renovation, required permits, and whether it includes a separate entrance or kitchen facilities.

4. How does the home’s age affect maintenance?
Built in 1955, the home is older than the Winnipeg average. Prospective buyers should pay special attention to the condition of major aging components, such as the roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and the foundation, during an inspection.

5. What is the context of the last sold price range shown?
The listed sale range (28.5k–31.5k in May 2021) appears to be an error or reflect an unusual transaction, as it is drastically lower than the current assessed value and typical market prices. For accurate historical sale data, you must request the exact records from the provided service.
