Property Overview
279 Semple Avenue is a compact, one-and-a-half storey home built in 1918, situated on a standard city lot in Winnipeg's Jefferson neighbourhood. With 990 square feet of living space and an unfinished basement, it presents a straightforward, no-frills opportunity. Its key appeal lies in its position as an accessible entry point into the market. The home's assessed value is notably below average for its street, neighbourhood, and the wider city, suggesting a potentially lower purchase price point. This is a property for a practical buyer—perhaps a first-time homeowner willing to take on cosmetic updates, an investor looking for a rental property, or someone seeking minimal square footage and lower carrying costs. Its century-old character offers charm, but buyers should be prepared for the maintenance and system updates typical of a home of this age. A thoughtful perspective is that its smaller size and lot, while below area averages, translate to less upkeep and a more manageable scale for someone looking to downsize or live simply.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the likely price range for this home?
Based on its assessed value being significantly below local averages and a prior sale in the $15.5k–$18.5k range in 2016, this property is positioned at the very affordable end of the market. The exact current asking or sold price would need to be confirmed.
2. What should I budget for immediate repairs or updates?
Given the age of the home (built in 1918) and the mention of an unfinished basement, prospective buyers should budget for potential updates to major systems like plumbing, electrical, or heating, as well as general maintenance inherent to older houses.
3. Is the lot size a disadvantage?
At just over 3,000 square feet, the lot is smaller than most in the area. This means less outdoor maintenance but also limited space for expansions, large gardens, or additions. It suits those who prefer a lower-maintenance yard.
4. Who would this property not suit?
It may not suit buyers looking for move-in-ready condition, modern finishes, ample storage, or space for a growing family, due to its smaller size, unfinished basement, and probable need for updates.
5. How can I get the exact historical sale prices?
The listing notes that exact sold price history is available by email request to the site, which they provide manually without using the contact for unsolicited marketing.
