Property Overview: 659 Rathgar Avenue, Lord Roberts, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 659 Rathgar Avenue is a classic, early-1900s character property in the established Lord Roberts neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in its above-average living space for the immediate area, offering a comfortable 1,120 sqft that ranks in the top 25% of homes on Rathgar Avenue. While the 1909 build date means it is one of the older homes on the street, this often translates to charming architectural details and a well-located lot in a mature community. The assessed value is consistent with the local area, suggesting it is priced in line with neighbourhood expectations rather than carrying a premium for size or modern features.
This property would suit a buyer who values space and location over a modern build. It’s ideal for someone looking for a character home with room to grow into, who is prepared for the maintenance or updates that can come with a century-old structure. It also represents a practical entry into a central neighbourhood, offering more interior space than many nearby comparables without a disproportionate jump in assessed value. A thoughtful perspective is that its "average" metrics for the street and neighbourhood indicate stability and predictability, which can be an advantage for buyers seeking a home that fits comfortably within its community context without extreme outliers in cost or size.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the home’s age impact its value and appeal?
Built in 1909, it is notably older than many area homes. This can be a source of character but also means potential buyers should budget for updates and be mindful of aging components like plumbing or wiring. Its assessed value remains on par with the neighbourhood, suggesting the market accounts for this.
2. Is the living space size a significant advantage?
Yes. With 1,120 sqft, it provides more living area than 75% of homes on Rathgar Avenue. This is its standout feature, offering more room than typical homes in the immediate vicinity, which average closer to 1,011 sqft.
3. How does the lot size compare?
The 2,207 sqft lot is near the average for Rathgar Avenue but is below the average for the wider Lord Roberts area. This suggests a standard-sized city lot for the street, adequate for outdoor space but not exceptionally large.
4. What does the sold price history indicate?
The home sold between $200k-$250k in 2019. This placed it in the top 70-71% of sale prices for the street and area at that time, indicating it has historically been valued above many local comparables, likely due to its larger living area.
5. Who are the most relevant comparable properties?
Nearby homes like 619 Rathgar Avenue (built 1912, 1,096 sqft) are the most direct comparables. The data suggests looking at homes with similar age and assessed value on Rathgar Avenue and within Lord Roberts, rather than newer or more suburban city-wide properties, for a realistic market comparison.
