Property Overview: 98 Cornwall Boulevard, Jameswood, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a compact, one-storey home built in 1957, situated on a standard city lot in the Jameswood neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in its efficiency and relative affordability within the market. With 884 sqft of living space, it is notably smaller than most comparable homes in the area, which typically average around 1,000-1,059 sqft. This positions the property as a practical, lower-maintenance option. The detached garage adds functional value.
Interestingly, while the home's size is below average, its 1957 build year is among the oldest and most established on its street and in Jameswood, suggesting a well-rooted, mature streetscape. The assessed value is around the local average, indicating the price likely reflects the land value and the neighbourhood more than the size of the dwelling itself.
This property would best suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking an entry point into a stable neighbourhood without the upkeep of a larger house. It’s for those who prioritize location and lot over square footage, and who see potential in a modest, functional layout that could be updated over time.
