Property Overview

This single-storey home at 516 Whittier Avenue E in Winnipeg's Kern Park neighborhood presents a practical and straightforward living opportunity. Built in 1958, its key characteristic is its solidly average positioning within its immediate area. With 909 sqft of living space and a renovated basement, it offers functional space for its size. The lot is a notable feature at 4,400 sqft, which is above average for Whittier Avenue E, providing valuable outdoor space. Its appeal lies in its neighborhood consistency—metrics for living area, assessed value, and land are all consistently around the average for Kern Park, suggesting a stable, established setting without extreme outliers.
