Property Overview
This two-storey home on Rupertsland Avenue in Winnipeg's Jefferson neighbourhood presents a practical and well-situated option. Built in 1951, it is notably newer than many homes on its street. With 1,266 sqft of living space, it offers more room than most comparable homes in both Jefferson and on Rupertsland Avenue itself. The property sits on a standard-sized lot just over 5,300 sqft and features a detached garage. A key highlight is the renovated basement, adding functional living space. Its assessed value is consistent with the local area.
The appeal here is in its above-average interior space for the immediate locale and its relative modernity within the streetscape. It suits buyers looking for a move-in-ready home with a finished lower level, who value a bit more room than typical for the area without a premium price tag. It’s a solid choice for first-time homeowners, small families, or practical investors seeking a property with straightforward metrics and a recent history of updates below ground.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living space compare to nearby homes?
This home's living area is in the top 22% on Rupertsland Avenue and top 17% in the Jefferson neighbourhood, meaning it is genuinely larger than most direct comparables in the vicinity.
2. What does the "renovated basement" entail?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated, but the specific scope, quality, and permits should be verified through a viewing and inspection. It signifies added finished living space.
3. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the selling price?
The assessed value ($30,200) is for municipal tax purposes. Market value is determined by recent sales, condition, and demand. The home last sold in May 2019 for an estimated $24.5K-$27.5K, so current market conditions will dictate the new price.
