Property Overview: 659 Matheson Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This one-and-a-half storey home on Matheson Avenue in the Jefferson neighbourhood presents a solid, renovated baseline in a well-established area. Built in 1952, it is notably newer than many homes on its street and in Jefferson, potentially suggesting fewer concerns with outdated core systems. The 1,303 sqft living area is spacious for the immediate area and the neighbourhood, offering above-average roominess locally. Its assessed value sits above average for both Matheson Avenue and Jefferson, indicating official recognition of its condition or features relative to nearby properties.

The appeal lies in its position as a competitively sized, updated home within a mature community. The renovated basement adds functional living space, and the detached garage provides flexibility. The lot size is generous for Jefferson, offering good outdoor space. This property would suit practical buyers looking for a move-in ready home without the premium of a brand-new build, such as young families seeking space in a settled neighbourhood, or downsizers wanting a manageable property with modern comforts and a low-maintenance exterior.

A less obvious perspective is its statistical standing: while it excels within its immediate context, its metrics are closer to the citywide average. This suggests it’s a representative Winnipeg home, not an outlier, which can be appealing for buyers seeking stable, long-term value without the volatility of a highly unique property.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the home’s value compare to recent sales?
The home sold in September 2023 for between $345,000 and $375,000. Its current assessed value is $325,000. This recent sale provides a concrete market benchmark from just over a year ago.

2. What is the neighbourhood like?
The home is in the Jefferson neighbourhood, characterized by mature homes and tree-lined streets. The property rankings show it is above average in size and value for this area, suggesting it is a desirable offering within the community.

3. Is the lot size typical?
The 5,397 sqft lot is above average for the Jefferson neighbourhood, providing more yard space than many comparable properties. On Matheson Avenue itself, it is very close to the average lot size.

4. What does “above average” for year built mean?
Built in 1952, this home is newer than the typical home on Matheson Avenue (average year built 1939) and in the Jefferson neighbourhood (average year built 1948). This can imply updates to foundational elements may have been required less recently than in older neighbouring homes.

5. What are the exact sold prices for nearby homes?
