Property Overview: 128 Melrose Avenue W, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home presents a classic Winnipeg character property, built in 1912, situated on a generous lot in the Melrose neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in its established location and land size. With 829 sqft of living space, the house is compact and efficient, ranking comparably to others in the immediate area but notably smaller than the city-wide average. The 4,592 sqft lot, however, is larger than many of its local peers, offering valuable outdoor space and potential.

The home’s assessed value is positioned below the city average, suggesting an accessible entry point into the market. This is a property defined more by its land and location than by the size or modernity of its structure. It would best suit a pragmatic first-time buyer, an investor looking for a character home with land value, or someone seeking a manageable footprint in an established neighbourhood without a premium price tag. A thoughtful perspective is recognizing that its 1912 construction means it likely possesses historic charm but also requires a buyer comfortable with the maintenance and potential update needs of a century-old home.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
