Property Summary: 125 Essar Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a modest, well-situated one-storey home in Winnipeg's Kildonan Drive area. Built in 1969, its key characteristics include a renovated basement, a detached garage, and a manageable 976 sqft of living space on a 5,009 sqft lot. The appeal lies in its solid positioning as an "average" home within its immediate neighborhood for both size and value, suggesting a stable, no-surprises entry point into the market. It particularly stands out in the broader Kildonan Drive area for being a newer build relative to many nearby homes.

This property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a practical, low-maintenance footprint in an established area. It’s a home for those who prioritize a renovated basement for extra living space and value a standard, detached garage. A thoughtful perspective is that its very averageness on Essar Avenue is a strength—it indicates a fit within a consistent community fabric without the premium or the concerns of being an outlier. The data suggests you’re buying a home that is typical for its specific street, which can offer predictability.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home's size compare to others?
At 976 sqft, the living area is slightly below average for the wider Kildonan Drive area and city, but is much more in line with the average for homes on Essar Avenue itself. This indicates the home is appropriately sized for its specific streetscape.

2. What does the assessed value tell me?
The assessed value of $36.70k is consistently around the average for Essar Avenue, the Kildonan Drive area, and city-wide. This suggests the property is fairly valued in the current tax assessment framework without any significant premium or discount.

3. Is the lot size a pro or a con?
The lot is under 5,100 sqft, which is smaller than many in the Kildonan Drive area but typical for the street and city. It offers a manageable yard for maintenance but may not suit those seeking extensive outdoor space.

4. The home was last sold in 2019. What does that price range indicate?
The last sold price range (2019) aligns with the home's current assessed value ranking. It shows historical value consistency, but for precise market trend analysis, the exact sold price is needed.

5. You note it's a "newer" build for Kildonan Drive. Why is that significant?
While built in 1969, it ranks in the top 9% for year built in the Kildonan Drive area, where many homes are older. This can imply potentially fewer age-related issues compared to neighborhood peers and is a less obvious advantage for a mid-century home.
