Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 4-level split home, built in 1965, presents a compelling blend of space, location, and value. Its primary appeal lies in its generous 1,568 sqft of living area, which ranks well above average for its immediate street, neighborhood, and the wider city. The home sits on a 6,472 sqft lot, offering a substantial outdoor space that is notably larger than many city-wide comparables. A recently renovated basement and a detached garage add practical value.

The property’s assessed value is positioned solidly in the middle range for the area, suggesting it is priced in line with the market without a significant premium. Recent sale history indicates steady value appreciation. This home would best suit buyers looking for established character and more square footage than typical in Fort Richmond, without venturing into the premium price tier. It’s ideal for those who prioritize indoor living space and a good-sized yard over a brand-new build or the largest lot on the block. A thoughtful perspective is that while the lot size is smaller than others on Townsend Avenue, it remains a spacious city lot overall, potentially offering a balance of yard to maintain and usable indoor space.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the living space compare to nearby homes?
The living area is a standout feature. It ranks in the top 12% on its own street and the top 28% in Fort Richmond, meaning it offers significantly more indoor space than most comparable local properties.

2. What is the significance of the assessed value ranking?
The assessed value ranks around the 40th-60th percentile across all measured zones. This indicates the home is valued very typically for the market—it’s not an outlier on the high or low end, which can provide confidence in its market fairness.

3. The home was built in 1965. What should I consider?
While the building age is above average for the street, it is around the city-wide average. This suggests well-built, established character but warrants a thorough inspection for updates to major systems like plumbing, electrical, and the roof, which may be due for attention or replacement.

4. Is the lot size a disadvantage?
While it’s a smaller lot compared to others on Townsend Avenue, it is still larger than the typical Winnipeg lot. It offers ample outdoor space for gardening or recreation while possibly requiring less maintenance than the largest yards in the neighborhood.

5. How can I find out the exact historical sale prices?
The exact sold prices are not publicly displayed in detail. The listing service provides an option to request this information directly via email, and they commit to providing the accurate figures manually without using your contact for unsolicited marketing.
