Property Overview
This one-and-a-half storey home at 452 Perth Avenue in Winnipeg's Jefferson neighbourhood presents a practical opportunity with specific strengths. Its key appeal lies in offering above-average interior space for its immediate area, housed in a structure that is notably newer than many of its neighbours. The home features a renovated basement and a detached garage on a standard-sized lot.
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer
The 1,418 sqft living area ranks in the top 10% on Perth Avenue and the top 8% in Jefferson, meaning it offers more room than most comparable local homes. Built in 1954, it is also a generation newer than the neighbourhood's typical housing stock. The assessed value of $300k is consistent with local averages but sits below the citywide benchmark, suggesting a relative value within its own community. The appeal is grounded in space and modernized utility (the basement) for the area, rather than luxury finishes or a large lot.
This property would suit a buyer looking for a spacious, solid home in Jefferson without a premium citywide price tag. It's ideal for someone who values interior square footage and a renovated basement over a brand-new build or an oversized yard. It may also attract those interested in a home with a younger building envelope than the neighbourhood's older average, potentially implying fewer major age-related repairs in the near term.
