Highlights & common questions: 1987 Ross Avenue W, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This one-and-three-quarter storey home on Ross Avenue W in Brooklands presents a practical opportunity. Built in 1976, it is newer than many homes on its street and in the wider neighbourhood. With 1,190 sqft of living space, it offers more room than most comparable local homes. A key feature is its renovated basement, adding functional space. The lot is a standard city size for the area at just over 3,400 sqft. Notably, the home last sold in 2022 for $29,200, following a previous sale in 2019 for $220,000—a significant variance that prospective buyers will want to understand.

Key Characteristics & Appeal

The appeal of this property lies in its above-average living space for the Brooklands area and its updated basement, providing move-in-ready potential. Its 1976 build date suggests fewer concerns with aging infrastructure common in much older Winnipeg homes. The lot size is manageable for low-maintenance outdoor space.

This home would suit first-time buyers or practical investors looking for a foothold in the market with a sizeable, updated living area. It’s also a fit for those who prefer a newer build within an established neighbourhood without the premium of a brand-new home. A thoughtful perspective: the dramatic difference in recent sale prices may indicate a past sale under unique circumstances (such as a non-arms-length transaction), making the current asking price and assessed value critical focal points for determining true market value.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is there such a large difference between the 2019 and 2022 sale prices?
This is a crucial question. A sale price of $29,200 in 2022 is typically not a standard market transaction. It often indicates a transfer between family members, a sale to settle an estate, or a non-arms-length deal. It does not reflect the home’s market value at that time, which is better indicated by the 2019 sale of $220,000 and the current assessed value.

2. What does "one & 3/4 storey" mean for the layout?
This style typically features a main floor and a second floor where the ceilings slope with the roofline, creating cozy bedrooms or spaces with character. Not all upstairs space will have full, standing height.

3. How does the lack of a garage affect daily living in Brooklands?
Many homes in this area do not have garages. Residents typically rely on street parking, which is generally ample, or add a shed or carport for storage. This is a standard trade-off for the neighbourhood’s affordability.

4. The home is "newer" than others on the street. What are the practical benefits?
A 1976 build likely means updated electrical wiring (often 100-amp service or better), more modern plumbing, and better insulation standards than homes built in the early 1900s. This can translate to lower immediate repair costs and improved energy efficiency.

5. What is the neighbourhood vibe in this part of Brooklands?
Brooklands is a long-established, no-frills residential community. It offers affordability and convenience with access to major routes, the University of Winnipeg, and local amenities. It’s a practical, working-class neighbourhood.
