Property Overview: 489 Smithfield Avenue, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-and-a-half storey home on Smithfield Avenue in the Jefferson neighbourhood is a compact, no-frills property built in 1950. With 772 sqft of living space, it is notably smaller than average for the area, city, and even its own street, positioning it as a true starter home or a minimalist living option. Its appeal lies in its practical updates and manageable scale. The basement has been renovated, adding functional living space without the maintenance concerns of features like a pool. There is no garage, which is typical for many homes of this era and contributes to the lower upkeep.
The property sits on a decent-sized lot (over 5,300 sqft) that is actually above average for Jefferson, offering valuable outdoor space or future potential relative to the home’s footprint. Its assessed value is modest and aligns closely with area averages, suggesting a stable, entry-level investment rather than a premium-priced asset. A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents a trade-off: you accept less interior space for a proportionally larger lot and a renovated basement in an established neighbourhood. It would suit first-time buyers, downsizers looking to simplify, or investors seeking an affordable rental property with recent improvements to core areas.
