Highlights & common questions: 247 Sansome Avenue, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This 1965-built, one-storey home in Westwood presents a practical and well-situated opportunity. Its key appeal lies in a balanced combination of space, location, and established character. The nearly 6,000 sqft lot is notably larger than many in the immediate area, offering ample outdoor space in a neighbourhood where lots can vary significantly. The home itself, at 1,152 sqft, provides comfortable living space that ranks above average for the area. A recently renovated basement adds functional living area and modern appeal. The detached garage offers flexibility for storage or projects.

The property suits first-time buyers looking for a solid entry point into a mature neighbourhood, or downsizers seeking a manageable single-level layout without sacrificing yard space. Its value is grounded in its lot size and the quiet, established streets of Westwood, rather than high-end finishes. A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents a "blank canvas" property—it offers the fundamental strengths of land and location, allowing the next owner to incrementally add their own value through updates over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare to others nearby?
At 5,979 sqft, the lot is a standout feature, ranking in the top 16% for size on Sansome Avenue itself. It provides more outdoor space than many comparable properties in Westwood.

2. What does the "renovated basement" entail?
The listing confirms the basement has been renovated, but the specific scope (e.g., finishes, legal suite potential, moisture management) should be verified through a viewing and inspection, as details are not provided.

3. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the listing price?
Not directly. The assessed value of $35,800 is for municipal tax purposes. The listing prices of nearby comparable properties (some shown at $280k and $350k) are more relevant for market valuation, though condition, updates, and exact location cause significant variation.

4. What is the neighbourhood character like?
Westwood is a mature, established neighbourhood with homes primarily from the 1960s. The property's rankings show it is typical for the area in age and value, suggesting a consistent, stable streetscape without extreme outliers.

5. How does the living space feel for a one-storey home?
At 1,152 sqft, the living area is above the median for both the street and neighbourhood. For a bungalow, this generally allows for standard room sizes and a functional layout, but the flow and room proportions should be assessed in person.
