Property Overview: 279 Cheriton Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This Rossmere-A bungalow, built in 1952, presents a practical and affordable entry point into the Winnipeg market. Its key appeal lies in its straightforward, average-sized layout of 1,122 sqft on a standard 5,054 sqft lot, offering a manageable footprint for a variety of buyers. The home’s assessed value of $294k is notably below averages for the street, neighborhood, and city, suggesting a potentially lower property tax burden and an accessible price point.

The property suits first-time homebuyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a functional home without a premium price tag. Its value is grounded in basics rather than luxury. A thoughtful perspective is that a home with below-average assessments on a street of higher-valued properties can represent an opportunity to add value through updates, while benefiting from the established character of the area. The data shows it last sold between 2016-2025 for a price that was in the top 15% most affordable for the street at that time, indicating its consistent role as a relative value option in the area.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the below-average assessed value a concern?
Not necessarily. It primarily indicates a lower valuation for municipal tax purposes, which can be an advantage. It often reflects the home’s age and modest specifications compared to newer or renovated neighbors, not a fundamental issue.

2. How does the living space compare to nearby homes?
The living area is very typical for Rossmere-A, ranking near the middle for both the street and the neighborhood. You’re getting a standard-sized home for this specific community.

3. What might the sold price history indicate?
The home last sold in the 2016-2025 period for an amount that was among the more affordable on Cheriton Avenue at the time. This history supports its profile as a value-oriented property within its immediate surroundings.

4. Is the lot size a limitation?
At just over 5,000 sqft, the lot is slightly smaller than some direct neighbors but remains a standard city lot. It provides adequate outdoor space for gardening or recreation without the maintenance demands of a larger parcel.

5. Where can I get verified sale history details?
The provided data is compiled from public sources. For fully verified transaction figures and history, you must request a manual lookup from the site via email, as MLS records are not displayed here due to industry rules.
