Property Overview: 272 Dumoulin Street, North St. Boniface, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This home is a classic 1930s residence in the established North St. Boniface neighbourhood. With 1,004 sqft of living space on a 4,159 sqft lot, its size is modest and typical for its immediate street and area, offering a manageable footprint. The assessed value of $316k positions it as a more accessible entry point within the city’s broader market, suggesting potential value in a character neighbourhood.
The appeal lies in its context. It represents a practical opportunity in a mature community, likely appealing to those who prioritize location and lot over sheer square footage. It suits first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a home with traditional character without a premium price tag. A thoughtful perspective is that its "average" metrics on the street indicate neighbourhood consistency, which can mean stable values and predictable community character. However, the age of the home (built 1932) implies that charm may come with a need for updates or diligent maintenance, appealing to a buyer comfortable with a project or seeking authentic original details.
