Property Overview: 491 Semple Avenue, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-storey home on a generous 6,307 sqft lot in Jefferson presents a practical and value-oriented opportunity. Built in 1954, its key appeal lies in its above-average land size for the area—ranking in the top 5% of Jefferson—offering room for gardening, play, or expansion. The home itself, at 1,086 sqft, is competitively sized for the neighborhood and features a renovated basement and a detached garage. Its assessed value consistently ranks above average for both the street and the broader Jefferson area, suggesting a well-regarded property in its local market context.
This property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable single-level layout with a low-maintenance footprint, but who still desire a sizable yard. It also appeals to value-focused buyers who prioritize a home’s underlying land asset and potential over high-end finishes. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home’s living space is average, the lot size is a standout feature that provides a sense of space and future flexibility not commonly found in this price segment, making it a strategic buy in a established neighborhood.
