Highlights & common questions: 1887 Ross Avenue W, Winnipeg

Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This 1989-built, one-storey home on Ross Avenue West in Brooklands presents a specific and compelling opportunity. Its primary appeal lies in the generous 5,043 sqft lot, which is significantly larger than most in the immediate area and neighbourhood. This makes the property a standout for buyers who prioritize outdoor space, garden potential, or future expansion over a large existing living area, which is a compact 795 sqft. It features a detached garage and a basement that exists but is not renovated.

The home suits practical, value-oriented buyers looking for a foothold in the market. It's ideal for a first-time buyer comfortable with a cozy living space who sees long-term potential in the sizable lot, or for an investor seeking a land-strong asset. The above-average lot size for Brooklands offers a less obvious benefit: it provides a greater sense of privacy and buffer from neighbours compared to typical area properties, which is often hard to find. Its recent sale history and assessed value point to a property positioned well below city-wide averages, highlighting its accessibility.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the lot size truly a major advantage here?
Yes. The land area is in the top 15% on its street and top 12% in Brooklands, meaning it's substantially larger than most comparable properties. This is the home's defining feature.

2. What should I expect from the living space at 795 sqft?
The living area is below average for the city. This indicates a compact, efficient layout. Buyers should be prepared for a home where space is well-utilized, not expansive, and where the lot serves as an extended "living area" in warmer months.

3. How does the 1989 build year compare?
Built in 1989, the home is newer than most on its street and in its neighbourhood. This suggests potentially fewer immediate concerns with aging core components (like wiring or plumbing) than much older area homes, though inspections are always recommended.

4. Why is the assessed value notably lower than the city average?
The assessed value reflects the property's smaller living area and its location. It places the home well below the Winnipeg average, which generally aligns with its profile as a land-strong property with a modest dwelling.

5. What does "basement, not renovated" imply?
It confirms the house has a basement, but it is in original or unfinished condition. This space offers storage or utility potential but will require investment to become a finished living area.
