Highlights & common questions: 61 Leighton Avenue, Winnipeg

Property Overview

61 Leighton Avenue is a one-and-a-half storey home in Winnipeg's Kildonan Drive area, built in 1947. It features 1,066 square feet of living space, a renovated basement, and a detached garage on a 4,988 sqft lot. The home presents a practical opportunity in a mature neighbourhood.

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home’s primary appeal lies in its position as a solid, no-frills property in an established area. With a living area and assessed value that are around average for its immediate street and the wider city, it represents a straightforward entry point into the market. The renovated basement adds functional living space and is a key modern update to an older structure.

The property would suit first-time buyers or practical investors looking for a manageable-sized home without major premium costs. Its lot size is smaller than many in the broader Kildonan Drive area, which translates to less yard maintenance—a plus for those seeking a simpler footprint. The detached garage offers good storage or workshop potential. It’s a home for someone comfortable with the character and upkeep of a house from the 1940s, who values function and location over modern size trends.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s size compare to others nearby?
At 1,066 sqft, the living area is slightly below the average for the larger Kildonan Drive area but is quite typical for homes directly on Leighton Avenue itself.

2. What is the significance of the assessed value?
The assessed value of $33.30k is around the city average. It’s important to note this is a value for taxation purposes; the market sale price will be determined by current conditions and buyer demand.

3. Is the smaller lot a disadvantage?
It depends on your priorities. The lot is under 5,000 sqft, which is notably smaller than many in the surrounding neighbourhood. This means less private outdoor space but also significantly less yard work.

4. What can I expect with a home built in 1947?
You benefit from established neighbourhoods and often sturdy construction. Be prepared for potential updates to aging components like original windows, plumbing, or electrical systems, though the basement renovation is a positive step.

5. How can I find out the exact past sale prices?
The provided sales history shows estimated ranges. You can request the precise sold price history by emailing the listing service, which manually provides the data.
