This 1914-built home offers 1,460 square feet of living space—significantly larger than most homes on its street and in the surrounding Inkster-Faraday area, where the average sits around 1,025 square feet. The lot, however, is compact at 2,276 square feet, placing it among the smallest in the neighbourhood.
The property’s assessed value of $139,000 is well below both street and city averages. This creates an interesting dynamic: you’re getting above-average interior space at a below-market price point, but on a smaller-than-typical piece of land. The low valuation may also reflect the home’s age or condition—worth investigating in person.
This property suits buyers who prioritize indoor square footage over yard space and are comfortable with an older home that likely needs updates. It could appeal to first-time buyers looking for more room than a typical starter home, or to investors targeting a lower entry price in a neighbourhood where land values are modest. The combination of a century-old structure and a small lot means expansion or redevelopment potential is limited, so it’s best suited for someone who wants to live in the house as-is or renovate within its existing footprint.
1. Why is the assessed value so low compared to other homes nearby?
The $139,000 assessment places this property in the bottom 2% citywide. That likely reflects a combination of factors: the home’s age (1914), its small land area, and possibly deferred maintenance or outdated systems. It’s worth comparing to similar-sized homes in the area to see if the assessment aligns with recent sale prices.
2. How does the living area compare to typical homes in Winnipeg?
At 1,460 square feet, this home is slightly above the citywide average of 1,342 square feet. Locally, it’s well above the Inkster-Faraday average of 1,025 square feet, placing it in the top 7% of that area. So it offers more interior space than most homes nearby.
3. Is the small lot size a concern?
The 2,276-square-foot lot is in the bottom 2% citywide and bottom 5% on College Avenue. That means minimal yard space, limited outdoor storage, and likely no room for additions like a garage or extension. If outdoor space is a priority, this property may feel tight.
4. What should I look for in a home built in 1914?
Century-old homes can have charm but often come with old wiring, plumbing, insulation, and foundation issues. Check for knob-and-tube wiring, lead pipes, asbestos in old flooring or insulation, and signs of settling. A specialized home inspection is strongly recommended.
5. Who would this property not suit?
It may not work for buyers wanting a large yard, a newer home with minimal maintenance, or room to expand. Families with children who need outdoor play space, or anyone looking for a turnkey property with modern finishes, might find this home too limiting without significant investment.
