Property Overview
This one-and-a-half storey home at 216 Perth Avenue in Winnipeg's Jefferson neighbourhood presents a practical and renovated living space. Built in 1947, it features 1,140 sqft of living area, a renovated basement, and a detached garage on a 4,105 sqft lot. Its appeal lies in its move-in readiness due to the basement renovation, and its position as a statistically average home within its immediate area for size, value, and lot. This creates a stable, predictable offering without extreme premiums or major compromises compared to nearby houses.
It would suit first-time buyers or practical downsizers looking for a straightforward home in a mature neighbourhood. The data suggests it’s not an outlier in terms of space or price on its street, making it a sensible choice for someone seeking a balanced entry into the market without the surprises of a vastly over- or under-sized property. A thoughtful perspective is that its "average" metrics within the local context could indicate lower volatility in value and a clearer comparison for future resale.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s size and value compare to the neighbourhood?
The living area and assessed value are both consistently around the average for homes on Perth Avenue and in the wider Jefferson area, placing it firmly in the middle of the local market.
2. Is the basement renovation reflected in the assessed value?
The assessed value of $30,10k is around the neighbourhood average. While renovations can improve livability, the official assessment often lags behind market perceptions and may not fully capture recent updates.
3. What is the typical lot size in this area?
The lot at 4,105 sqft is below the average for both Jefferson and city-wide. This is common for older neighbourhoods and means outdoor space is functional but not expansive.
4. Can I get the exact historical sold price?
The listed sold price range is based on public data. The exact sale price from July 2024 is available by request via email from the listing service, which they provide manually.
5. The home is older; what does the ranking for "Year Built" mean?
Built in 1947, it is newer than many homes on its street and in Jefferson (ranking above the median), but is older than the typical Winnipeg home when compared city-wide. This highlights the mature character of the Jefferson area.
