Property Overview: 279 Kimberly Avenue, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 279 Kimberly Avenue in the Rossmere-B neighborhood is defined by its practicality and value-focused position in the Winnipeg market. Its key characteristic is its compact size, with 754 sqft of living space that places it well below the average for the street, neighborhood, and city. Built in 1923, it is notably older than most surrounding homes. The municipal tax assessment of $229,000 is correspondingly lower than area averages, indicating a more affordable entry point.
The primary appeal lies in its affordability and its generous, roughly 5,300 sqft lot, which is on par with the neighborhood standard. This combination presents a clear opportunity for first-time homebuyers or investors seeking a lower-cost property with land potential. It suits buyers comfortable with a smaller, character home who may see value in a "blank canvas" scenario—whether that means living modestly, undertaking a renovation over time, or valuing the larger yard over interior square footage. A less obvious perspective is that its consistent below-average rankings across metrics create a predictable and stable tax and utility cost profile, which can be an advantage for long-term budgeting.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this a small house?
Yes. With 754 sqft of living space, it is significantly smaller than the typical home in Rossmere-B (average 1,047 sqft) and Winnipeg overall. It is best suited for individuals, couples, or those comfortable with compact living.
2. What does the 2021 sale price range indicate?
The listed sale price range of $200,000-$250,000 from August 2021 provides a historical benchmark. Given the current tax assessment of $229,000, it suggests the home has been valued consistently in this affordable range, but a current market appraisal is essential for today's value.
3. Are there concerns with the 1923 build year?
The age means potential buyers should prioritize a thorough inspection for foundational integrity, plumbing, electrical systems, and insulation. While it requires due diligence, many homes of this era in Winnipeg have been successfully maintained and updated.
4. How does the lot size compare?
The lot is a strong feature. At approximately 5,339 sqft, it is very close to the Rossmere-B average. This means the property offers standard outdoor space for the area, which is a positive given the smaller interior.
5. Where can I find accurate historical sale data?
The page indicates that precise, official sale history is not publicly displayed due to industry restrictions. They offer to provide this data manually via email request upon user registration, which is a common practice for non-MLS sources in Canada.
