Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This is a substantial, character-filled home in the established Armstrong Point neighbourhood. Built in 1905, the two-and-a-half-storey residence sits on a large, approximately 9,000 sqft lot and offers over 3,100 sqft of living space. Its key appeal lies in the combination of historic charm, generous proportions, and a prime, quiet location within one of Winnipeg's most desirable areas. The home features an attached garage and a renovated basement, adding modern functionality.

Its appeal is multifaceted: it offers the rarity of a large lot in a central neighbourhood, the architectural presence of a century-old home, and the stability of a top-tier location. The property’s assessed value is notably low relative to its last sold price and comparable area homes, which may indicate significant renovation potential or a unique valuation scenario.

This home would best suit a buyer looking for a legacy property—someone with the vision and resources to either preserve or thoughtfully update a historic home. It’s ideal for those who value space, privacy, and established tree-lined streets over new construction, and who are prepared for the realities and rewards of maintaining a character property.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value compare to the likely market value?
The home’s assessed value is significantly lower than its last sold price in 2016 and appears low compared to similar properties. Market value is typically higher, and this discrepancy is common for unique, older homes where assessments may not fully capture recent market shifts or the property's full potential.

2. What are the implications of owning a 121-year-old home?
While offering immense character, a home of this age requires careful attention. Buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance and potential updates to major systems like plumbing, electrical, or the roof. A thorough, specialized inspection is essential.

3. The lot is large for the area. What are the possibilities?
The nearly quarter-acre lot is a major asset. It offers exceptional outdoor space for gardens and entertaining. Depending on local zoning, there may be future potential for additions or landscaping projects that wouldn’t be possible on a standard city lot.

4. How does this home rank within its immediate area?
The data shows a mix: its lot size ranks very high for the street, while its living area is about average. Its age is among the top 5% oldest on the street, highlighting the historic nature of the property and likely the surrounding homes.

5. What is the neighbourhood character of Armstrong Point?
Armstrong Point is known for its quiet, winding streets, mature trees, and a concentration of historic homes. It offers a secluded, park-like feel while being minutes from downtown, The Forks, and major cultural attractions. It is a premier, low-traffic residential enclave.
