Property Overview: 522 Kildare Avenue E, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-storey home, built in 1958, presents a straightforward opportunity centered on its land. The house itself is modest, with 904 sqft of living space and an unrenovated basement, placing it around the average for its immediate neighborhood and street. Its standout feature is the lot: at 6,861 sqft, it ranks in the top 3-5% for size within the Kildare-Redonda area. This generous outdoor space is the property's primary asset, offering significant potential for gardening, expansion, or simply enjoying a larger-than-typical yard in the city.
The appeal lies in its position as a practical, entry-level property with clear upside. It suits a buyer comfortable with a home that may require updates, but who values space and potential over immediate turn-key finishes. It would be an ideal match for a first-time homeowner, an investor looking for a property with a strong land component, or a downsizer seeking a manageable single-level layout paired with a substantial private outdoor area. A less obvious perspective is that the home’s very ordinariness in terms of size and assessed value, combined with its elite lot size, creates a unique value proposition where the land itself is the appreciating asset, offering a hedge and future flexibility.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the exact sold price history?
Exact sold prices are not publicly displayed. The provided range is based on available data, but you can request the precise history via email. We will provide the accurate figures manually and do not use your contact information for unsolicited marketing.
2. How does the property compare to others in the area?
The home is consistently around the neighborhood average for living space, year built, and assessed value. Its defining advantage is the land area, which is significantly larger than most comparable lots in Kildare-Redonda and on Kildare Avenue E itself.
3. What does "basement not renovated" imply?
This indicates the basement is in original or functional condition but has not been modernized or finished to current standards. Buyers should budget for potential updates and consider it a space for utilities and storage, with the possibility for future development.
4. Is the detached garage included?
Yes, the property listing includes a detached garage.
5. Why is the citywide assessed value comparison so different?
The citywide benchmark average shown (390k) appears to be an error in the data display, as it is inconsistent with the local averages and the property's own assessed value of ~$31k. Reliable comparisons should be drawn from the "same street" and "same area" metrics, where the value is consistently around the $31,000 - $32,000 mark.
