Property Overview: 544 Whittier Avenue E, Kern Park, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a compact, one-storey home in Winnipeg's Kern Park neighbourhood, built in 1958. With 785 sqft of living space, it is notably smaller than most city homes, but sits on a standard city lot of just over 4,000 sqft. A key feature is its renovated basement, adding functional space, and it includes a detached garage. The home’s assessed value is positioned as average for its immediate street and neighbourhood, but is below the Winnipeg city-wide average, suggesting a relatively accessible entry point into the market.
Its primary appeal lies in its efficiency and practicality. It suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable footprint without major upkeep, and who value a finished basement for extra living or storage space. The lot size offers typical outdoor potential for the area. A less obvious perspective is that its "below average" size compared to the city might translate to lower utility costs and less maintenance, which can be a significant long-term advantage. It represents a classic, no-frills Winnipeg home where value is derived more from function and location than from square footage.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the house particularly small?
Yes. At 785 sqft, the living area is smaller than the average home in Kern Park (approx. 1,047 sqft) and significantly smaller than the Winnipeg average. This indicates a efficient, compact layout.
2. How does the assessed value compare?
The $280,000 assessment is around the average for Whittier Avenue E and Kern Park. However, it is below the city-wide average, which may reflect the home's smaller size.
3. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the finishes or layout. This is a key detail to clarify with the seller or listing agent to understand the home's full usable space.
4. What is the neighbourhood like for a home of this age?
Built in 1958, this home is newer than many on its street and in Kern Park overall. This could suggest potentially fewer immediate concerns related to the age of major original components compared to older neighbours.
5. Where can I find the exact past sale price?
The listed sale history from July 2017 shows a range. The precise sale price is available by request from the listing service, which provides it via email without using your address for marketing.
