Key Characteristics & Buyer Appeal

This 1911 home in Lord Roberts presents a classic, no-frills opportunity. At 776 sqft, its living space is modest and typical for the immediate street, but smaller than the broader neighbourhood and city averages. Its assessed value follows a similar pattern: aligned with Walker Avenue but positioned below area and city benchmarks. The standout feature is the 2,207 sqft lot, which is notably larger than many of its direct neighbours, offering above-average outdoor space for the street.

The appeal lies in its grounded, entry-level positioning within a central neighbourhood. It suits a practical buyer—perhaps a first-time homeowner, an investor, or a downsizer—who values a larger lot over a large house, seeing potential in the land itself for gardens, expansion, or simply more breathing room. It’s a property for those comfortable with a home that requires updates and who prioritize location and lot size over move-in-ready finishes. A thoughtful perspective is that its "below average" size and value for the wider city aren't drawbacks here, but rather reflect its character as an affordable piece of a well-established, mature community.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the "below average" ranking for size and value actually mean?
It means that compared to all homes across Winnipeg, this property is smaller and has a lower assessed value than the typical city home. However, within its own street on Walker Avenue, it is much more aligned with the norm, suggesting the immediate area is made up of similar, character homes.

2. How recent is the sold price data?
The home sold between 2021 and 2025 for an estimated CA$200k–250k. For the exact sale price and date, you can request the information via email from the listing service.

3. What are the implications of the larger lot size?
A lot size that is "above average" for the street is a key asset. It provides more yard space than neighbouring properties and could offer future potential, subject to local zoning regulations, for additions, a garage, or landscaping not possible on smaller lots.

4. Is a home from 1911 a concern?
The age is typical for Lord Roberts. While it means the home likely has classic charm, a prospective buyer should budget for and prioritize a thorough inspection to understand the condition of foundational elements, plumbing, electrical, and the roof, which may require maintenance or updating.

5. Who are the most comparable nearby properties?
Based on the data, nearby homes on Walker Avenue and Rathgar Avenue (like 619 Rathgar and 689 Rathgar) are the most relevant comparisons, as they share the same neighbourhood, similar vintage (1911-1912), and comparable assessed values and living areas.
