Property Overview: 252 Leighton Avenue, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 252 Leighton Avenue in Rossmere-B is a compact, post-war bungalow built in 1953. Its primary characteristic is its modest scale: with 648 sqft of living space and a 3,285 sqft lot, it ranks significantly below average in size for its street, neighborhood, and the entire city. The corresponding municipal tax assessment of $252,000 is also notably below area averages.
The core appeal lies in its accessibility and efficiency. It represents one of the most affordable entry points into the Winnipeg housing market, particularly for the Rossmere area. This isn't a property for those seeking ample space; instead, it suits minimalist buyers, first-time homeowners comfortable with a cozy footprint, or investors looking for a manageable rental property. Its 1953 build date is actually newer than many area homes, suggesting potentially fewer immediate updates related to very old infrastructure. A thoughtful perspective is that the smaller lot and home size translate to lower maintenance costs, less time spent on upkeep, and reduced utility expenses—a practical advantage for a certain lifestyle. Its previous sale prices indicate a history of being a value-driven option.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this a "tiny home"?
While its living area (648 sqft) is well below the Winnipeg average, it is a standard, detached single-family home from the 1950s, not a modern "tiny home" design. It offers traditional construction but within a very compact floor plan.
2. Why is the tax assessment relatively low?
The municipal tax assessment typically reflects market value and the property's characteristics. The assessment is consistent with the home's below-average size (both living area and lot) compared to surrounding properties, which are generally larger.
3. What are the main considerations for a home this size?
Prospective buyers should realistically assess their space needs for living, storage, and potential for future expansion. The layout and efficient use of the available square footage will be crucial. Renovations may be possible but could be challenging within the existing small footprint.
4. How does the lot size impact the property?
At 3,285 sqft, the lot is smaller than most in the area. This means a smaller yard for gardening or recreation, but also less landscaping work. It's important to check local zoning bylaws for any restrictions or opportunities related to the lot dimensions.
5. Where can I find exact historical sale prices?
The provided data shows estimated sale price ranges. As noted in the details, precise sale records are not publicly displayed online due to industry regulations. You must contact the site operator directly via email to request that accurate historical data be provided manually.
