Property Overview: 283 Queenston Street, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 283 Queenston Street in North River Heights is a compact, character property built in 1931. With 998 sqft of living space on a 4,307 sqft lot, it is notably smaller than most homes on its street and in the established neighbourhood. Its assessed value of $372k is below the local area average but aligns more closely with the wider Winnipeg average, presenting a distinct value proposition.
The primary appeal lies in its entry point into a desirable, mature neighbourhood. It suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking location over size, who are comfortable with a home that may require updates reflective of its era. A thoughtful perspective is that its smaller scale can mean lower utility costs and less maintenance, offering a simpler lifestyle. The lot size, while below the neighbourhood norm, is still generous for the city and provides outdoor space potential. This isn't a sprawling family home; it's a practical footprint in a prime area, ideal for those who value community and convenience over square footage.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this a fixer-upper?
Given its age (1931) and that its living area is significantly below neighbourhood averages, the home likely retains original character and may require modernization. Buyers should budget for updates, but this also offers a chance to customize.
2. Why is the assessed value lower than neighbours'?
The assessed value reflects the home's smaller size and older age compared to larger, potentially renovated homes on Queenston Street. It indicates a more affordable entry into the area rather than a lack of desirability.
3. How does the recent sold price compare?
Public data indicates it sold between $300k-$350k in September 2023. This sold price was below area averages, consistent with its profile as a smaller, character home.
4. What are the benefits of the lot size?
At 4,307 sqft, the lot is smaller than others in North River Heights but is still a good city-sized parcel. It offers manageable yard space with room for gardening, entertaining, or future additions, subject to zoning.
5. Who are the typical buyers for a home like this?
It best suits first-time buyers gaining a foothold in a premium neighbourhood, empty-nesters looking to downsize while staying in the area, or investors seeking a character property in a high-demand location. It appeals to practicality and location over prestige.
