Property Summary: 656 Walker Avenue, Winnipeg
Section 1: Overview & Appeal
This home at 656 Walker Avenue in Lord Roberts is a classic, early-1900s character property that presents a balanced, no-surprises profile within its immediate neighborhood. Its key characteristics are its modest 958 sqft living space and a 2,207 sqft lot, both of which are quite typical for Walker Avenue itself. The data suggests it's a home that doesn't stand out dramatically on the street in terms of size, age, or assessed value—it fits right in with the local fabric. Its appeal lies in this very consistency and the potential of a well-located character home in an established area. The lot size, while average for the street, is notably more compact compared to wider city averages, emphasizing an urban, low-maintenance setting.
This property would suit a first-time buyer or an investor looking for an entry point into a mature neighborhood without the premium of a recently renovated or larger home. It’s also a candidate for someone who appreciates the authenticity of a century-old home and is prepared for the maintenance or updates that may entail. A less obvious perspective is that its "average" metrics within the micro-context of Walker Avenue could signal stability and predictability, which is valuable for buyers wary of overpaying for an outlier property. It’s a home that offers neighborhood integration over standout features.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others in the area?
Within the Lord Roberts neighborhood and specifically on Walker Avenue, this home is consistently around average for its living area, assessed value, and age. Its lot size is actually above average for the street but below the neighborhood and city-wide averages.
2. What is the likely condition given its age?
Built in 1912, the home is over a century old. Prospective buyers should budget for and prioritize a thorough inspection, as systems like wiring, plumbing, and the foundation may require attention or modernization, common for homes of this era.
3. What can the sold price history tell me?
Public records indicate it last sold between $200k-$250k in 2021. For the exact sale price, you must request it directly from the listing service, as they provide that specific figure manually via email.
4. Is the lot size a limitation?
The 2,207 sqft lot is manageable and typical for the street, favoring lower outdoor maintenance. It may limit expansion possibilities or private outdoor space compared to homes on larger lots, but aligns with the area's denser, established urban feel.
5. Who are the most comparable nearby properties?
Based on assessed value, very similar properties are listed, though many appear to be condominium units on Grant Avenue. For direct neighborhood comparisons, consider 619 Rathgar Avenue (similar age & size) and 693 Walker Avenue (similar size, but lower assessed value) as useful benchmarks.
