Property Summary: 3240 Wilkes Avenue
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a unique property defined by its exceptionally large, 2.3-acre lot in the Wilkes South area of Winnipeg. The 1,618 sqft one-and-a-half storey home, built in 1940, sits on over 102,000 square feet of land, a rare find within the city. Its primary appeal lies in this vast, blank-canvas outdoor space, offering unparalleled potential for gardening, recreation, or future expansion. The home itself has above-average living space for its street and a solid assessed value, but the unfinished basement and lack of garage or pool indicate it's a property with room to personalize.
It would best suit a buyer with a vision for the land—whether seeking privacy, space for hobbies, or a multi-generational compound. It's a project-oriented property, ideal for someone who values land size over turn-key condition and is prepared to invest in both the home and the grounds. A less obvious perspective is its value as a "legacy lot," offering a sense of country-like space within city limits, which could be particularly appealing for those wanting to instill a deep connection to the outdoors in their family.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does "one & 1/2 storey" mean?
This is a common Winnipeg architectural style, typically featuring a main floor and a second floor with sloped ceilings (under the roofline), which often results in cozy, character-filled bedrooms.
2. The rankings show the house is very old compared to neighbors. Is that a concern?
While the 1940 build date is older than most in the area, the home's assessed value and living space rank highly. This suggests the structure has been maintained and valued, but a thorough inspection is crucial to understand the condition of major systems like plumbing, wiring, and the foundation.
3. What can I do with such a large lot?
The possibilities are significant, from extensive gardens and orchards to adding outbuildings (subject to city bylaws), creating sports areas, or simply enjoying immense private green space. The key is to verify zoning regulations for any specific plans.
4. The basement is unfinished. What should I consider?
An unfinished basement from this era offers the opportunity to customize it to your needs but requires investigation. Check for ceiling height, moisture control, and the condition of the furnace and hot water tank, as upgrading these systems during a renovation is common.
5. There's no garage. Can one be built?
Given the vast lot size, adding a garage or workshop is likely feasible from a space perspective. The main considerations would be obtaining the proper permits, navigating any easements, and budgeting for the construction of a new driveway and structure.
