Highlights & common questions: 279 Kilbride Avenue, Winnipeg

Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This one-and-a-half storey home on Kilbride Avenue is a classic Winnipeg character property built in 1919. With 937 sqft of living space and a 3,275 sqft lot, it presents a manageable scale. The home features a detached garage and an unfinished basement, offering functional space and potential. Its assessed value is modest, and recent sale data indicates it transacts well below city-wide averages.

The primary appeal lies in its position as an affordable entry point into the Jefferson neighbourhood. It sits comfortably within the averages for its immediate street, suggesting it's a typical, well-priced home for the area rather than an outlier. This isn't a large or modernized property; its charm is in its simplicity and potential. It would suit a first-time buyer, an investor looking for a straightforward rental, or a practical buyer who values character over square footage and prefers a home without premium, renovated finishes. A thoughtful perspective is that its "average" metrics for the street provide stability and predictability, reducing the risk of overpaying for the location.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the actual recent sold price?
The public data shows a sale in November 2023 for an estimated range of $24.5k to $27.5k. The property listing service offers to provide the exact sold price via email upon request.

2. What does the "unfinished basement" mean for me?
It indicates the basement is in a rough, utility-ready state. This is a space for mechanical systems and storage, not finished living area. The upside is there are no hidden issues with previous DIY renovations, and it offers a blank canvas for future development, subject to permits and codes.

3. How does this home compare to others in Winnipeg?
The data shows it is below the city-wide average for living area, lot size, and assessed value. Its appeal is not in competing with city-wide norms but in offering a competitively priced option within its own established, older neighbourhood.

4. Is a home from 1919 a concern?
It means the core structure is over a century old. Prospective buyers should prioritize a thorough inspection for the foundation, wiring, plumbing, and roof. While it comes with inherent character, it also requires an acceptance of ongoing maintenance and potential updates to older systems.

5. The lot seems smaller than average. Is that a drawback?
At 3,275 sqft, the lot is below average for both the neighbourhood and city. This translates to less yard maintenance, which can be a positive for those seeking a low-maintenance outdoor space. It may limit expansion possibilities but supports a simpler, more compact lifestyle.
