Property Overview: 219 Melrose Avenue W

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a compact, century-old home (built 1920) on a modest lot in Winnipeg's Melrose area. Its key characteristic is its efficiency: with 760 sqft of living space, it is notably smaller than most homes on its street, in the area, and across the city. The assessed value of $260,000 is fairly typical for the immediate neighborhood but sits below the citywide average, indicating a more accessible price point for the location.

The appeal lies in its practicality and potential. It represents a lower barrier to entry for homeownership in a well-established neighborhood. This property would suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a manageable footprint with straightforward upkeep. Its age suggests potential for character, but also means buyers should be prepared for the maintenance considerations of a 106-year-old structure. A thoughtful perspective is that its smaller size and lot offer a lifestyle with less space to heat, clean, and maintain, which can be a deliberate advantage for the right owner.


Frequently Asked Questions
