Property Overview

130 Oakview Avenue is a one-and-a-half storey home in Winnipeg's Kildonan Drive area, built in 1948. It features a renovated basement, a detached garage, and sits on a 5,002 sqft lot. With 1,297 sqft of living space and a current assessed value of $32.7k, it presents a specific value proposition within its established neighbourhood.

Key Features & Buyer Appeal

This home’s primary appeal lies in its strong positioning within its immediate locale. On Oakview Avenue itself, it ranks well above average for both living area and lot size, meaning it offers more space than most direct neighbours. The renovated basement adds modern, functional living space. However, the context shifts when viewed against the broader Kildonan Drive area, where its assessed value is notably below average, potentially indicating a value opportunity for the street.

It would suit a practical buyer looking for a character home in an established area who values space over a brand-new build. It's ideal for someone who sees potential in a property that stands out on its own street for size but may be priced accessibly within the wider district. The detached garage and generous lot are significant assets for anyone needing storage, workshop space, or room for outdoor projects.

3. What does the lot size mean for me?
