Property Overview
This one-storey home at 556 Harvard Avenue E in Winnipeg's Kern Park neighborhood presents a practical and straightforward living opportunity. Its key appeal lies in its balance of a manageable size and a generous, above-average lot for the area. With 1,003 sqft of living space, the house itself is compact and efficient, suitable for those looking to minimize upkeep. The basement has been renovated, adding functional space, and the property includes a detached garage.
The home was built in 1958, which is notably newer than many others on its street and in Kern Park, suggesting potentially fewer concerns with the aging components common in older Winnipeg houses. The lot size of just over 5,100 sqft is a significant asset in this neighborhood, offering ample outdoor space for gardening, recreation, or future expansion—a relative rarity. This property would suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or practical investors seeking a home with a solid foundation (literally, given its newer vintage for the area) and valuable land, without the scale or complexity of a larger modern house. Its assessed value positions it as a mid-range option, offering a realistic entry point into the market.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the home's size compare to others?
At 1,003 sqft, the living area is below the city-wide average but is quite typical for the Kern Park neighborhood itself. It's a compact layout ideal for smaller households.
2. What is the significance of the 1958 build year?
In a neighborhood and on a street where many homes are from the 1930s and 40s, a 1958 build is a relative advantage. It may indicate updated foundational materials, wiring, or plumbing compared to much older peers, potentially reducing immediate repair needs.
3. Is the lot size a major feature?
Yes. The 5,101 sqft lot ranks well above average for Kern Park. This is one of the property's strongest attributes, providing substantial private outdoor space that is less common in this established area.
4. What can recent sold prices tell me?
Public data shows a sale in late 2016 in the $23.5k-$26.5k range. It is essential to request the exact sold price history and consult with a real estate professional for a current market valuation, as prices have shifted significantly since then.
5. Who would this property not suit?
It may not be ideal for those requiring extensive main-floor living space or a modern, open-concept layout, given its smaller, traditional one-storey design. Buyers seeking a brand-new home or a property with a fully modernized interior should be prepared for potential updates.
