Property Overview
This well-situated two-and-a-half storey home in Daniel McIntyre presents a blend of historic charm and modern updates. Its key appeal lies in offering above-average interior space for both the immediate street and the neighborhood, housed in a character-rich building from 1912. The home features a renovated basement and a detached garage. The lot is compact, which translates to lower maintenance, and the property's assessed value is very manageable compared to the Winnipeg city-wide average. It would particularly suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a character home with updated essentials in a central location, without the upkeep of a large yard. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home is older, its above-average living area for the area provides a sense of space that isn't always found in homes of this vintage and value bracket.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living space compare to other homes in the area?
The home's 1,444 sqft of living area is notably larger than most comparable homes on Ingersoll Street and in the broader Daniel McIntyre neighborhood, placing it in the top 15% locally for space.
2. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the property tax?
While the assessed value is a key component, property taxes are calculated using a mill rate. This home's assessed value is above average for Daniel McIntyre but below the city-wide average, suggesting taxes may be relatively moderate for a home of its size in Winnipeg.
3. What should I consider with a home built in 1912?
While the basement has been renovated, the core structure is over a century old. Prospective buyers should budget for maintenance consistent with the era of construction and consider a thorough inspection focusing on the foundation, wiring, and plumbing.
4. The lot size is noted as being below average. What does this mean practically?
The yard is compact, which minimizes gardening and snow-clearing chores. This is a practical advantage for those seeking a lower-maintenance outdoor space, but it also means limited potential for expansions like a large addition or deck.
5. How does the last sale price from 2016 relate to today's value?
The 2016 sale price of $17.80k is a historical data point and not reflective of current market value, which is driven by recent comparable sales, condition, and market trends. The assessed value provides a more current, though not market-based, valuation for municipal purposes.
