Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a practical, no-fuss home built in 1958, offering a straightforward opportunity in Winnipeg's Munroe East neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in the balance it strikes: the 918 sqft living space is modest and below average for the area, but it sits on a notably generous 5,751 sqft lot that ranks well above average for the street and neighborhood. This creates a classic scenario of a smaller house on a larger parcel, which is increasingly rare.

The home’s assessed value is consistently around the average mark for its immediate surroundings, suggesting it is priced in line with local expectations without premium or discount. Past sales data indicates the property has seen appreciable value growth over the last several years.

This property would suit a first-time buyer or practical investor looking for a manageable footprint with the valuable upside of extra outdoor space. It’s also a candidate for those with a long-term vision, as the lot size offers future potential for expansion, gardening, or additions that a standard-sized lot would not. It’s less suited for those seeking a move-in-ready home with modern, spacious interiors.
