Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home presents a compelling blend of established character and relative value within its immediate neighborhood. Built in 1912, it is a classic Winnipeg residence situated on a standard city lot. Its primary appeal lies in its above-average living space (1,394 sq ft), which ranks in the top 6% on its street and top 14% in the Lord Roberts area, offering more room than many comparable local homes. The assessed value also positions it favorably within the neighborhood, suggesting a solid value proposition for the space offered.

This property would suit a buyer who appreciates the mature setting of Lord Roberts and is looking for a home with generous interior space without a premium lot size. It’s a practical choice for someone prioritizing square footage and established community character over a newer build or a large yard. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home is older city-wide, its age is typical for the street, meaning renovations and upkeep will be in line with neighboring properties, potentially simplifying planning and costs.
