Property Overview
This one-and-a-half storey home on Beverley Street is a classic Winnipeg character property built in 1909. With 1,096 sqft of living space and a full, unrenovated basement, it sits on a 2,268 sqft lot. Its key appeal lies in its position as a relatively affordable entry point into the Daniel McIntyre neighbourhood, a centrally-located area known for its mature streets and convenience. The home last sold in August 2023 for $130,000, which is notably below its current $140,000 assessed value and significantly below the city-wide average for assessed values.
This property would suit a specific type of buyer: a handy first-time homebuyer or an investor looking for a character home with renovation potential. Its below-average price for the area makes it accessible, but the unrenovated basement and age of the home mean it requires a buyer comfortable with ongoing maintenance or improvement projects. It’s less suited for those seeking a move-in-ready home or a large private yard, as the lot size is smaller than most in the city.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this a good value for the neighbourhood?
The data suggests it is priced accessibly for Daniel McIntyre. Its assessed and recent sale values are in the bottom 15-20% for the area, indicating it's one of the more affordable options, though this typically reflects the home's condition and update needs compared to peers.
2. What does "one-and-a-half storey" mean for this home?
Typically, this style features a full main floor with a steeper roof line, where the upper "half" storey contains smaller rooms built into the roof space. It offers classic charm but often has cozier, sloped-ceiling bedrooms upstairs.
3. The lot seems small. Is that a concern?
At 2,268 sqft, the lot is below average for both the street and the city. This means smaller outdoor space but also less maintenance. For buyers prioritizing a low-maintenance yard or who value location over private outdoor space, this can be a practical trade-off.
4. The basement is noted as "not renovated." What should I expect?
This likely means the basement is in original or utilitarian condition—think concrete floors, basic finishes, and older mechanical systems (like the furnace or wiring). It presents potential for future development but would require investment and permits.
5. How does the age of the home (1909) impact ownership?
A 117-year-old home has undeniable character but requires a proactive maintenance mindset. Considerations include the potential for older plumbing and electrical systems, historical building materials (like plaster walls), and the need for thorough inspections to understand the condition of the structure and foundation.
