Property Overview
This one-storey home at 357 Harold Avenue E in Winnipeg's Kildare-Redonda neighbourhood presents a practical opportunity with one standout feature. The house itself, built in 1963 with just over 1,000 square feet of living space and a renovated basement, offers solid, above-average space for its immediate area. Its true distinction, however, is the land. At approximately 8,830 square feet, the lot size ranks in the top 3% for the street and top 2% for the neighbourhood, offering an unusually large and private outdoor space for an inner-city property.
The appeal lies in this combination of a functional, updated living space paired with exceptional land potential. It suits buyers looking for a manageable single-level home with immediate room for gardening, recreation, or family play. More strategically, it’s an ideal fit for a future-minded buyer who values the optionality that a large lot provides—whether for future expansions, additions, or simply as a long-term asset in a city where sizable plots are increasingly rare.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the actual condition of the renovated basement?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated, but specifics on finish quality, ceiling height, moisture control, and whether it includes a legal secondary suite or additional bedrooms would require a viewing and inspection.
2. How does the large lot impact costs or regulations?
A lot of this size may have different zoning allowances. Buyers should investigate potential for future structures like a garage, workshop, or home addition, and understand any associated property tax implications or utility costs for maintaining the larger yard.
3. Is the detached garage insulated or heated?
This is not specified. The condition, size, and potential of the detached garage (e.g., for storage, as a workshop, or possibility to wire for electric vehicle charging) are important points to clarify.
4. How does the 2019 sale price relate to today's value?
The 2019 sale price is a historical point of reference. Current value is better gauged by its assessed value ($34,400) and, more importantly, by recent comparable sales in Kildare-Redonda, which have likely shifted significantly since then.
5. What is the neighbourhood character and typical homeowner profile?
Kildare-Redonda is a mature, established neighbourhood. The property's above-average metrics for the area suggest it sits on a desirable street within the community, likely attracting a mix of long-time residents, young families, and investors.
