This is a compact, older property—built in 1928—with 828 square feet of living space on a 3,740-square-foot lot. Compared to other homes on Renfrew Street, in Sir John Franklin, and across Winnipeg, it sits well below average in size, assessed value, and age. The assessed value of $299,000 is notably lower than the neighbourhood average of $407,000, making it one of the more affordable options in the area. Its appeal lies in its entry-level price point and location within an established central Winnipeg neighbourhood. It would suit a buyer who is comfortable with a smaller footprint and an older home that likely needs updating, but wants access to a mature, walkable area without the premium cost of larger or renovated properties. This is not a turnkey home; it’s a property where sweat equity or a careful renovation budget makes sense. It may also appeal to investors looking for a lower-cost entry into a stable neighbourhood, or first-time buyers who prioritize location over square footage.
1. Is this property a fixer-upper, or is it livable as-is?
At 96 years old and with a below-average assessed value, the home likely has original or dated systems and finishes. It could be livable, but expect to budget for updates to plumbing, electrical, windows, or the roof. A thorough home inspection is essential before assuming it's move-in ready.
2. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the neighbourhood average?
The property is smaller (828 sqft vs. 1,238 sqft average), on a smaller lot, and older than most homes in the area. The lower assessment reflects the combination of size, age, and likely condition—not necessarily a distressed sale or poor location.
3. What are the most common updates needed in a 1928 home in Winnipeg?
Beyond cosmetic updates, older Winnipeg homes often require upgraded insulation, new wiring (especially if knob-and-tube is present), foundation work, and replacement of aging galvanized plumbing. The lot size here is also smaller, so any major addition would be limited by zoning and setback rules.
4. How does the smaller lot size affect future plans?
At 3,740 square feet, the lot allows for some outdoor space and possibly a small garage or workshop, but not extensive landscaping or a large addition. If you want a big yard or room to build out, this property would not be a good fit.
5. What is the neighbourhood like for resale value?
Sir John Franklin is a well-established Winnipeg neighbourhood close to downtown, schools, and services. Smaller, older homes tend to hold value if maintained, but they usually don't appreciate as quickly as fully renovated or larger homes in the same area. Long-term, the value is more in the land and location than the structure itself.
