Property Summary: 179 Essar Avenue, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Buyer Appeal
This one-storey home at 179 Essar Avenue is a practical and straightforward property in Winnipeg's Kildonan Drive area. Built in 1979, it is notably newer than most homes in its immediate neighborhood, offering a relative advantage in terms of potential modern building standards and systems. The house features 1,196 sqft of living space, an attached garage, and a full, unrenovated basement, sitting on a 5,010 sqft lot.
Its primary appeal lies in its solid, middle-of-the-road metrics. The assessed value and living area are consistently around the average for the street, the broader area, and the city, suggesting it is a fairly priced, typical home for the market without extreme outliers. The lot size, while smaller than the area average, is close to the citywide norm. This profile suits first-time homebuyers or practical downsizers looking for a manageable, no-frills property in an established area. The unrenovated basement presents a clear, defined project for a buyer interested in adding value according to their own taste and budget, rather than paying a premium for someone else's finished work.
A less obvious perspective is that its "averageness" across key metrics can be a strength, providing stability and reducing the risk of being over-assessed or under-improved relative to the neighborhood. It represents a balanced entry point into the market.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the year built (1979) affect this home?
At 47 years old, the home is newer than many in the Kildonan Drive area, which is predominantly composed of older homes. This could mean updated electrical, plumbing, or insulation compared to mid-century builds, but a thorough inspection is still essential.
2. What does "basement yes, not renovated" imply?
It means the basement is unfinished. It provides valuable extra space for storage, utilities, and laundry, but any living area, bedroom, or recreational space would require a full renovation, allowing the next owner to customize it.
3. Is the lot size a concern?
At just over 5,000 sqft, the lot is smaller than the average for Kildonan Drive but is close to the Winnipeg city average. It provides a decent backyard for a family but may not offer as much privacy or space as larger lots in the area.
4. What do the ranking percentages (e.g., Top 35%) mean?
These show how this property compares to similar homes. For example, its living area is in the "Top 35%" on its street, meaning it is larger than 35% of comparable homes nearby. It consistently ranks in the middle tiers, indicating it is a typical, not exceptional, property in terms of size and value.
5. How can I get the exact historical sold price?
The exact sold price is not publicly displayed. You can request it by email via the button on the property page. The service is manual, with a promised reply by the end of the same business day, and your email will not be used for unsolicited marketing.
