Property Overview: 2189 Knowles Avenue, Kil-Cona Park, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This single-storey home in Kil-Cona Park is defined by a compelling contrast between its modest living space and its exceptional lot size. Built in 1963, the 1,090 sqft house presents a manageable footprint, which is below average for both the street and neighborhood. However, its significant appeal lies in the nearly 20,000 sqft (over half an acre) property it sits on—a land area that ranks in the top 1% citywide. This creates a rare opportunity where the value is heavily weighted toward the land itself, offering immense potential for expansion, gardening, or outdoor living.
The home features an attached garage and a renovated basement, adding functional living space. Its assessed value is strong for the street and city, suggesting the property is well-regarded relative to its core structure. This property would ideally suit a buyer looking for a solid starter or downsizer home with a "blank canvas" yard, or a strategic investor who values land over square footage. It’s a practical choice for those comfortable with a smaller, older home who see greater value in the long-term potential of a large, private lot in a mature neighborhood.
