Property Overview: 549 Kingsford Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home at 549 Kingsford Avenue in Rossmere-A presents a solid, value-oriented entry into the Winnipeg housing market. Built in 1960, its 1,040 sqft living area and 6,050 sqft lot are both very close to the averages for its immediate street and neighborhood, indicating a typical, manageable size for the area. A key characteristic is its below-average property tax assessment value ($292,000), which is notably lower than averages for the street, community, and city. This suggests a potential opportunity for lower annual property tax costs compared to similar homes.

The appeal lies in its balance and practicality. It’s not an outlier in any single category but offers a combination of a slightly larger-than-average lot for Rossmere-A and a tax assessment that may work in a buyer’s favor. It would suit first-time homebuyers or practical investors looking for a stable, no-frills property in an established neighborhood. The data indicates it’s a home for someone prioritizing sensible square footage, outdoor space, and operating costs over modern finishes or premium positioning.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the below-average tax assessment mean for me?
A lower assessed value than comparable homes can lead to relatively lower property taxes. However, it’s not a direct indicator of market selling price. A buyer should investigate if the assessment reflects the home’s condition or is simply an administrative valuation.

2. How does the 1960 build year affect the home?
Built in 1960, this home is of a very common vintage in the area. Buyers should budget for potential updates to major aging components like the roof, windows, plumbing, or electrical systems, while also appreciating the character and established landscaping of an older home.

3. The living space is just under neighborhood averages. Should I be concerned?
At 1,040 sqft, the living area is only marginally smaller than the Rossmere-A average (1,116 sqft). This indicates a efficient, likely bungalow-style layout common for the era. It’s sufficient for a small family or couple but may feel cramped if you require multiple large dedicated rooms.

4. The lot size is noted as "above average" for the community. How significant is this?
The 6,050 sqft lot is a tangible asset, offering more private outdoor space than many neighbors. This allows greater potential for gardening, expansions, or additions, subject to local zoning bylaws.

5. Where can I find accurate historical sale price data for this home?
The page notes that precise MLS sale history is not displayed due to industry restrictions. The site operator offers to provide accurate data via a manual email request, promising a reply by the end of the same day without marketing spam.
