Property Overview
644 Ingersoll Street is a compact, century-old home in Winnipeg's Minto neighbourhood. Built in 1922, it offers 714 square feet of living space on a 2,442 sqft lot. Its assessed value is $22,100. The home sits in a historic streetscape of similar vintage properties, presenting a classic, no-frills Winnipeg character.
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This property is defined by its modesty and location. Its key appeal lies in being an affordable entry point into homeownership, particularly for a buyer seeking a lower ongoing tax burden due to its well-below-average assessed value. The lot size is manageable for minimal upkeep.
Its characteristics suit specific buyers: a first-time buyer or an investor looking for a straightforward, budget-conscious property. It would also appeal to someone seeking a minimalist lifestyle or a functional foothold in a long-established neighbourhood without the premium of a larger, modernized home. A less obvious perspective is its potential as a "blank slate" within a historic streetscape—the value here is in the land and location within a community of similar homes, rather than in the current structure's size or condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this a small house?
Yes. At 714 sqft, its living area is significantly smaller than the average home in Minto (1,060 sqft) and city-wide (1,342 sqft).
2. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the city-wide average?
The assessed value of $22,100 reflects the home's smaller size, age, and likely simpler condition compared to the broader Winnipeg market, where the average assessed value is far higher.
3. What does the "Top 96%" ranking for living area mean?
It means that 96% of homes city-wide have a larger living area. This indicates the property is among the smallest 4% of homes in Winnipeg by interior space.
4. How old is the house, and is that typical for the area?
The house was built in 1922 (104 years old). This is around average for Ingersoll Street and the wider Minto area, which are neighbourhoods featuring many homes from the early 20th century.
