Property Overview
This one-and-a-half storey home at 226 Queen Street in Winnipeg's King Edward neighbourhood presents a compelling opportunity. Its primary appeal lies in a rare combination of a generous, above-average lot size and a recently renovated basement, all within a classic 1946 build.
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer
The standout feature is the land. At over 7,700 square feet, the lot size is in the top 1% for the King Edward area, offering exceptional outdoor space that is uncommon for the neighbourhood. The home itself, with 1,134 sqft of living space, is comfortably above average for its immediate area. A key modern update is the renovated basement, adding functional living space. The detached garage and the home's assessed value, which is strong for the street and neighbourhood, round out the profile.
This property would suit a buyer who values private outdoor space above all else, perhaps for gardening, recreation, or future expansion. It’s ideal for someone seeking a character home in a central neighbourhood but who doesn’t want to compromise on yard size. The renovated basement also makes it practical for those needing flexible living or storage space without an immediate renovation project.
