This is a 1905-built home with 1,011 square feet of living space on a 2,283-square-foot lot in Winnipeg’s West Alexander neighbourhood. Compared to others on Beacon Street, the living area is slightly below average and the lot size is close to average, though both are notably smaller than the citywide typical home. The property’s assessed tax value is also well below local and city averages—ranking at the bottom of the street and near the bottom citywide.
The appeal here is more about location and character than square footage or land. The house is old enough to likely have original details, and it sits in a mature, central neighbourhood. The modest size and low assessed value could mean lower property taxes and a more approachable entry price compared to newer or larger homes nearby.
This property would suit a buyer who values an older home in an established neighbourhood over a large floor plan or yard. It may also appeal to someone looking for a smaller footprint—either as a starter home, a downsizing option, or a renovation project where the lower purchase price leaves room for upgrades. It’s less suited for anyone needing significant indoor space or a large lot.
1. How do the living area and lot size compare to surrounding homes?
On Beacon Street, the living area is below average (7th out of 9 homes). The lot is close to the street average but well below the neighbourhood and city averages—so while it’s typical for the block, it’s compact relative to many other West Alexander properties.
2. Is the low assessed value a good thing?
Yes, if you’re looking to keep property taxes low. The assessed value is the lowest on the street and near the bottom citywide. That means annual taxes are likely lower than most comparable homes, though it can also reflect the home’s size, condition, or age relative to others.
3. What should I know about a house built in 1905?
Older homes often have solid construction and detailing, but they can also come with outdated systems (plumbing, electrical, insulation) and materials (lead paint, asbestos). A thorough inspection is strongly advised. The home has survived over a century—what’s been updated and what hasn’t matters a lot.
4. Is this a good candidate for renovation?
Potentially. The lower tax value and modest size suggest the purchase price may leave some budget for improvements. But keep in mind that renovating a nearly 120-year-old home can uncover structural or code issues. Focus on the bones—foundation, roof, mechanicals—before cosmetic upgrades.
5. How does the neighbourhood feel in terms of housing stock?
West Alexander has many older homes on smaller urban lots, so this property fits the local character. It’s not a neighbourhood of sprawling lawns or new builds. Buyers here tend to value walkability, mature trees, and a sense of history over modern layouts or big backyards.
