Property Summary: 553 Hartford Avenue, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home on Hartford Avenue in the Jefferson neighbourhood presents a compelling blend of space, value, and location. Its primary appeal lies in its generous 2,054 sqft of living area, which is significantly larger than most comparable homes on its street, in Jefferson, and across Winnipeg. This substantial size is paired with a recently renovated basement, adding functional living space. The home sits on a standard city lot and features a detached garage.

The property’s standout characteristic is its value proposition. With an assessed value that ranks in the top 5% on its street and top 2% in Jefferson, it offers a high amount of living space for its valuation bracket. Built in 1961, it is also a newer construction compared to many peers in the immediate area. This combination makes it particularly suited for practical buyers—growing families, multi-generational households, or anyone seeking ample interior space without a premium lot size. It’s a home for those who prioritize functional square footage and modernized basics over expansive outdoor land or luxury finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the sold price history available?
Yes, a sold price range is provided for November 2022. For the exact historical sold price, you can request it via email from the listing service. They provide this detail manually and do not use email addresses for unsolicited marketing.

2. How does the living space truly compare to other homes?
The living area is a key strength. It ranks in the top 3% on Hartford Avenue and the top 1% within the entire Jefferson neighbourhood, meaning it offers notably more interior space than the vast majority of direct comparable properties.

3. What does the assessed value ranking indicate?
The assessed value is in an elite tier for both the street and Jefferson, but is around the city-wide average. This suggests the home is a high-value proposition within its immediate context, offering more house for the money locally, while being priced in line with the broader Winnipeg market.

4. Is the lot size a drawback?
The land area is average for the street and below average for the city. This won’t appeal to those seeking extensive outdoor space for gardening or recreation, but it aligns with typical lots in the area and may mean less yard maintenance.

5. Who might this property not suit?
Buyers looking for a very large or private yard, or those seeking a brand-new build, may find other options more fitting. Its appeal is squarely in its spacious, updated interior living space on a standard urban lot.
