Property Overview
This one-and-a-half storey home on Smithfield Avenue in Winnipeg's Jefferson neighbourhood presents a compelling blend of above-average space and a notably strong assessed value for its area. Its key appeal lies in its position as a well-sized, established home that stands out locally for its value and recent updates.
Key Characteristics & Appeal
The home's 1,274 sqft of living space is comfortably above average for both its immediate street and the wider Jefferson area, offering more room than many comparable properties. A recently renovated basement adds functional, modern living space. The detached garage and a standard 5,339 sqft lot provide practical outdoor and storage utility.
Its most striking characteristic is its assessed value of $36,900, which ranks in the elite top 4% for both Smithfield Avenue and the Jefferson neighbourhood. This suggests the property is viewed as a high-value asset relative to its immediate peers, a point underscored by its most recent sale price range in early 2025. Built in 1951, it is also newer than many homes on its street. This combination—more interior space, a modernized basement, and a premium assessment for the locale—makes it a practical, value-oriented choice.
This property would suit a buyer looking for a move-in ready home with proven value in a mature neighbourhood, particularly one who prioritizes space and investment stability over newer construction or extensive lot size. It’s a solid, grounded option for first-time homeowners or downsizers seeking a manageable property without compromising on interior room.
