Key Characteristics & Appeal

This one-and-a-half storey home, built in 1893, presents a classic character home opportunity in Winnipeg's Spence neighbourhood. Its key features include a renovated basement and a generous lot of nearly 4,000 square feet, which is larger than most in the immediate area. With a living area of 1,259 sq ft, the home offers practical space and ranks well in its assessed value compared to the broader city.

The appeal lies in its balance of historic charm and practical updates, set on a sizable urban lot. It suits buyers looking for an entry point into a character home with a project-ready aspect, or investors attracted by the lot size and neighbourhood dynamics. The property may particularly resonate with those who value potential over perfection—someone comfortable with the upkeep of a century-old home but appreciative of foundational work like a renovated basement. It's a home that offers more outdoor space than many of its neighbours, which is a less obvious but valuable asset for gardening, expansion, or simply having room to breathe in an inner-city setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does a "renovated basement" typically include?
This indicates significant work has been done, often involving moisture mitigation, foundational repairs, and finishing. It's essential to request details on the scope, permits, and the quality of finishes to understand its condition and whether it’s a living space, utility area, or both.

2. How does the age of the home (1893) affect ownership?
While full of character, a home from this era requires attention to aging components like wiring, plumbing, and insulation. Prospective buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance and consider a thorough inspection focused on these historical systems.

3. The assessed value seems low. What does this mean?
The assessed value is for municipal tax purposes and is not a market valuation. It can be influenced by many factors, including renovation history and specific municipal formulas. The market price is determined by current buyer demand and the home's condition.

4. What is the Spence neighbourhood like?
Spence is a central, diverse, and historic neighbourhood close to downtown amenities, hospitals, and the University of Winnipeg. It offers urban convenience and a strong sense of community, but as with any inner-city area, it's wise to visit at different times to get a full feel for the street and locality.

5. There's no garage. What are the parking options?
The property listing shows no garage. Parking is likely via on-street permit. Buyers should verify the specific street's parking regulations, availability, and any associated costs with the city.
