Highlights & common questions: 429 Whittier Avenue E, Winnipeg

Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This one-and-a-half storey home in Kern Park is a compact, character property built in 1938. Its primary appeal lies in being a more affordable entry point into the Winnipeg market, featuring a renovated basement and a detached garage on a standard 4,000 sqft lot. The living space (768 sqft) is notably below average for the area, positioning it as a cozy, manageable footprint rather than a spacious family home.

Its charm is grounded in practicality and potential. The renovated basement adds functional space, a valuable asset in a smaller home. While the stats show it ranks below area averages for size and assessed value, this translates to a lower property tax burden and an opportunity for buyers priced out of larger, more modern homes. It would suit a first-time buyer, an investor, or someone looking to downsize without leaving established neighbourhoods. The buyer should value character and location over square footage and be prepared for the maintenance considerations of an older home.


Frequently Asked Questions

Is this house unusually small for the neighbourhood?
Yes. The living area is below average for Whittier Avenue, Kern Park, and Winnipeg overall. This is a key factor in its affordability and defines its cozy, low-maintenance appeal.

What does the "renovated basement" entail?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope. This should be a primary question for the seller or agent to understand the quality, permits, and nature of the added living space.

Why is the assessed value so much lower than the city-wide average?
The assessed value reflects the property's smaller size, age, and market position relative to all Winnipeg homes. A lower assessment typically correlates with lower municipal property taxes.

How recent was the last sale, and what did it sell for?
Public records indicate a sale in June 2017 for an estimated range of $16.50k to $19.50k. For the exact historical price, you must request the information directly via the provided email service.

What are the implications of a home built in 1938?
While solidly built, a home of this age will likely have original components, like plumbing or electrical systems, that may need updating or careful inspection. Its character is balanced by the responsibility of maintaining an older structure.
