Property Overview: 524 Smithfield Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This one-and-a-half storey home on Smithfield Avenue in the Jefferson neighbourhood presents a solid, value-oriented opportunity. Built in 1949, its key appeal lies in its above-average assessed value for the immediate area, suggesting it is a well-regarded property on its street and within Jefferson. With 1,112 sqft of living space and a 5,338 sqft lot, it sits comfortably around the neighbourhood averages for size, offering a practical footprint without feeling cramped. A renovated basement adds functional living space and modern appeal.

The property suits first-time homebuyers or practical investors looking for a stable entry into the Winnipeg market. Its metrics indicate it’s a “middle-of-the-road” home in terms of size and age for the city, but it stands out as a stronger financial asset within its own community—a sign of a good local investment. The lack of a garage and pool points to a lower-maintenance lifestyle, appealing to those prioritizing simplicity and value over premium amenities. A thoughtful perspective: this home represents the reliable "bones" of a neighbourhood, offering the chance to live in a house that statistically holds its value better than many on its own street, which can provide a sense of security.
