Key Characteristics & Appeal

This one-and-a-half storey home, built in 1948, presents a solid, no-fuss opportunity in Winnipeg's Jefferson neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in a balanced package: the living space (1,074 sqft) and assessed value are consistently average for the immediate area, suggesting a fairly priced and typical home for the street. The standout feature is the land. At over 6,200 sqft, the lot size is well above average for Jefferson, ranking in the top 5% of the neighbourhood. This offers valuable outdoor space and future potential that is uncommon for the area.

The home suits practical buyers looking for a grounded entry into the market without unexpected extremes. It’s for someone who values a larger yard over a larger house and is comfortable with a home of this era. The renovated basement adds functional living space. Recent sale history indicates steady interest, and its metrics suggest it won’t feel over-improved or underwhelming compared to its neighbours. It’s a property that appeals to those who see the inherent value in the land itself and are seeking a straightforward, character-home foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the price in line with the area?
Yes. The assessed value and recent sold price ranges are consistently around the average for both Matheson Avenue and the wider Jefferson neighbourhood, indicating it is priced typically for this location.

2. What is the main advantage of this property?
The land size. The lot is significantly larger than most in Jefferson, offering more private outdoor space and potential for gardening, expansion, or additions, subject to zoning.

3. What should I consider about the age of the home?
Built in 1948, it is older than the city-wide average. Buyers should budget for maintenance consistent with a home of this vintage and consider the potential for older mechanical systems, though the basement has been renovated.

4. How does it compare to the nearby reference properties?
It offers more living space than the smaller, newer reference home on Matheson and is on a much larger lot than the similar-sized reference home on Lansdowne. This highlights its position as a more spacious option within its price range.

5. Where can I find the exact historical sold prices?
The listing service provides sold price ranges based on public data. You can request the exact sold prices by emailing them directly through the provided button on the detail page; they provide this data manually without using your email for marketing.
