Property Overview: 212 Pinedale Avenue, Norwood West, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This home at 212 Pinedale Avenue is a classic, compact bungalow built in 1941, situated on a generous, roughly 6,000 sqft lot in the established Norwood West neighborhood. Its key characteristic is its balance: the 998 sqft living area is modest and below local averages, but this is paired with a lot size that is typical or slightly above average for the immediate area. The assessed value of $375K aligns closely with both neighborhood and citywide averages, indicating a stable, mid-market valuation.
The appeal lies in its efficient footprint and the potential of its lot. It suits a first-time homebuyer, downsizer, or practical investor looking for an entry into a mature neighborhood without a premium price tag for excess square footage. The property represents a "value in the land" proposition—the real estate is in the location and the lot, offering room for gardening, expansion, or future outdoor living. It’s a home for those who prioritize location and lot size over a large interior, viewing the smaller house as an opportunity for lower maintenance costs and utility bills, or as a canvas for a thoughtful renovation that could better connect the living space to the outdoors.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the house too small compared to others on the street?
The living area is indeed below the street average of 1,359 sqft. This confirms it’s a more compact home, which typically translates to lower heating and maintenance costs. The trade-off is the proportionally larger lot, which is a feature not reflected in interior square footage.
2. How does the assessed value compare to recent sale prices?
The home sold between $300K-$350K in May 2021. The current $375K assessment is slightly above that range but remains around the neighborhood average. This suggests the market and assessment authority see stable value growth in line with the area.
3. What does the year built (1941) mean for maintenance?
Built 85 years ago, it is older than most Winnipeg homes. Buyers should budget for updates to major aging components like plumbing, electrical, or the roof. However, its age is typical for Norwood West, and many homes of this era feature solid construction and charming character details.
4. Is the lot a good size for the area?
At 5,997 sqft, the lot is slightly larger than the immediate street and neighborhood averages. This is a standout feature, providing more private outdoor space than many comparable properties, which is a significant advantage in an inner-city neighborhood.
