Highlights & common questions: 197 Linden Avenue, Winnipeg

Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This one-and-a-half storey home at 197 Linden Avenue is a classic post-war property built in 1949, offering a practical footprint of 1,016 sqft on a notably generous lot for its street. Its appeal lies in its balance of established neighbourhood character and relative value. The home features a renovated basement and a detached garage, presenting a solid foundation for comfortable living or future updates.

The property is well-suited for first-time buyers seeking an entry into a stable area like Kildonan Drive without a premium price tag, or for downsizers looking for a manageable home with ample outdoor space. Its standout feature is the 5,411 sqft lot, which ranks in the top 7% for size on Linden Avenue. This offers rare potential for gardening, expansion, or simply more private outdoor living compared to neighbouring properties. While the living space is modest and slightly below the area average, the assessed value reflects this, positioning the home as an affordable option in the broader city context. Recent sale history suggests a market that recognizes its value proposition.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the property’s value compare to the area?
The home’s assessed value is around the average for Linden Avenue itself but is below the average for the wider Kildonan Drive area. This suggests it may offer more value within its immediate locale, while being priced accessibly compared to larger or more updated homes nearby.

2. What are the implications of the lot size?
At over 5,400 sqft, the lot is significantly larger than most on the same street. This is a key asset, providing more yard space, better potential for additions like a shed or deck, and possibly more natural light and privacy than typical lots in this vintage.

3. What can recent sale prices tell us?
The home sold in 2022 and again in 2024. The increase in sale price over that period aligns with broader market trends, indicating steady, non-speculative interest in the property and the area.

4. Is the renovated basement a full suite?
The details confirm a renovated basement but do not specify if it is a legal secondary suite. Buyers should verify the renovation permits and the basement’s compliance with local regulations for rental or in-law suite potential.

5. Who might find this property less suitable?
Buyers seeking a modern, open-concept layout or above-average square footage for the price may need to consider the cost of renovations. Similarly, those prioritizing a home at the very top of the area’s rankings for size or assessed value might look elsewhere, as this home represents solid, middle-of-the-road value in its category.
