Property Overview
This 1913 two-and-a-half storey home at 762 Fleet Avenue in Earl Grey offers a blend of classic character and modern updates. Its key appeal lies in its generous, above-average living space of 1,683 sq ft, which ranks in the top 8% for the neighbourhood, providing more room than most comparable local homes. The basement has been renovated, adding functional living area. While the home itself is older, its assessed value is consistent with the local area, suggesting it is priced in line with the established market in this desirable part of Winnipeg.
The property would suit a buyer looking for a character home with ample interior space in a mature neighbourhood, who values location and square footage over a large lot or a newer build. It’s a practical choice for those who want room to grow without the premium price tag of a newly constructed home, and who appreciate the established trees and community feel of Earl Grey.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the home’s age affect maintenance?
Built in 1913, this home is older than about 79% of houses on its street. Prospective buyers should budget for and prioritize inspections of foundational, electrical, and plumbing systems common to homes of this era, while also considering the charm and build quality that can come with a century-old property.
2. Is the living space configuration typical for a 2.5-storey?
With 1,683 sq ft, the home offers significantly more space than the neighbourhood average (1,152 sq ft). This suggests the floor plan may be more generous or efficiently designed than many similar homes, potentially offering larger rooms or additional finished areas.
3. Why is the citywide assessed value ranking lower than the local ranking?
While the assessed value is around average for Earl Grey, it ranks in the top 73% citywide (meaning it’s assessed lower than 73% of Winnipeg homes). This primarily reflects the higher proportion of newer, suburban homes with larger lots and higher valuations across the broader city, not necessarily a drawback for this property.
4. What does the land size mean for outdoor space?
The lot is 2,916 sq ft, which is slightly below average for the street but typical for the central neighbourhood. It provides a standard urban yard—sufficient for gardening and recreation but not an expansive private space. The appeal here is more about the interior volume and location.
5. How does the last sale price from 2019 relate to current value?
The home sold for $260k in August 2019. This figure provides a historical benchmark, but the current assessed value and market conditions in the years since will be the primary drivers of its present market value.
