Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a modest, mid-century home built in 1955, situated on a standard-sized lot in the Margaret Park neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in its position as an affordable entry point into the Winnipeg market. With 786 square feet of living space, it is a compact home, ranking below the average size for its immediate street, neighbourhood, and city. This suggests it is best suited for a first-time buyer, a downsizer, or an investor looking for a straightforward rental property.

The home’s assessed value is notably lower than the citywide average, aligning more closely with local area norms. This creates a value proposition: you are acquiring a home with fundamentals (lot size, year built) that are typical for the area, but at a below-average price point for the broader city. Its last known sale was between 2020, in the $250k-$300k range. The appeal is pragmatic—it’s a functional property in an established neighbourhood without premium pricing, ideal for someone comfortable with a smaller footprint or viewing it as a strategic first step in real estate.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this a "fixer-upper" or a move-in ready home?
The listing does not specify condition. Given its age and below-average assessed value, prospective buyers should budget for potential updates or maintenance common to homes from the 1950s. A viewing and inspection are essential.

2. How does the smaller living area impact daily life and resale?
The living space is notably compact. This suits a minimalist lifestyle or a single occupant/couple very well, but may feel tight for a family. For resale, it consistently appeals to a specific segment of the market (first-time buyers, investors), which can be an advantage in its price range.

3. What are the immediate neighbours like?
The property is centrally located on the block, with homes built in the same era directly adjacent. The public data shows very consistent lot sizes and assessed values for the surrounding houses, indicating a uniform, stable streetscape without extreme outliers.

4. The assessed value seems low. Does that mean property taxes are lower?
Generally, yes. A lower assessed value typically results in a lower municipal property tax bill, which is a tangible, ongoing financial benefit of owning a home priced below the city average.

5. How can I find out the exact past sale price?
The exact sold price is not publicly displayed. The listing service offers to provide it manually via email request, stating they aim to reply by the end of the same day without using your email for marketing.
