Property Overview: 1048 Brussels Street, Holden, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a compact, one-storey home built in 1954, situated on a standard-sized lot in the Holden neighborhood. Its key characteristic is its modest scale, with a living area of 767 sqft, which is notably smaller than typical homes on its street, in the area, and across Winnipeg. This is reflected in its assessed value, which is significantly below average at $18,800. The home features a detached garage and no basement.
The primary appeal lies in its affordability and simplicity. It represents a very accessible entry point into homeownership, with extremely low property taxes due to its assessment. It would suit a first-time buyer, an investor looking for a rental property with minimal overhead, or someone seeking a minimalist, low-maintenance lifestyle without the burden of a large mortgage. A less obvious perspective is that its small size and dated construction (72 years old) could be seen as a blank canvas for a buyer interested in a full renovation or even a future rebuild, leveraging the value of the land itself.
