Property Summary: 64 Brisbane Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 946 sqft bungalow, built in 1959, presents a classic Winnipeg home with a standout feature: its generous 6,837 sqft lot. The living space is modest and slightly below average for the city, but it is typical for the immediate street and Maybank neighbourhood. Its assessed value is consistently around the average mark at every comparison level—street, neighbourhood, and city-wide—suggesting a stable, mid-market valuation.

The primary appeal lies in its land. The lot size ranks in the top 13-18% across all comparison groups, offering significant outdoor space and potential in a city where larger lots are increasingly rare. This makes the property a canvas for gardening, expansion, or simply enjoying private outdoor living. Its appeal is grounded in practicality and potential rather than luxury finishes or size.

This home would best suit a buyer who values space over square footage—perhaps a first-time buyer looking for a manageable house with room to grow outdoors, a downsizer seeking a single-level layout with a large garden, or an investor/renovator who sees value in the land and the solid, vintage structure. It’s for those comfortable with a home that may require updates but offers a premium in lot size that is hard to replicate in newer subdivisions.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the house small compared to others?
Yes, at 946 sqft, the living area is below the Winnipeg city average. However, it is very much in line with the average size of homes on Brisbane Avenue and in the broader Maybank neighbourhood, which consist largely of similar post-war bungalows.

2. What does the lot size ranking actually mean for me?
Ranking in the top 13% on the street and top 18% city-wide for land area means you are getting significantly more yard space than most Winnipeg properties. This allows for greater privacy, landscaping possibilities, and could future-proof your investment as large lots become scarcer.

3. The home was last sold between 2016-2025 for an estimated $250k-$300k. Why is the assessed value different?
Assessed value (currently $36.80k for the building portion) is set by the municipal government for taxation purposes and is not the same as market value. The actual sale price reflects what a buyer was willing to pay on the open market, which is influenced by many factors beyond the tax assessment.

4. The year built (1959) is ranked "above average" on the street. Is that good?
In this context, "above average" means it is newer than many homes on the street. For a 1959 home, this is a relative positive, suggesting the immediate area may have some slightly older housing stock. However, buyers should still budget for maintenance and updates typical of a home from this era.

5. Who would benefit most from the "neighbourhood analysis page" mentioned?
A buyer who wants to understand the context of this specific property block-by-block. It visually shows how this home compares to its direct neighbours in terms of year built, size, and value, helping to identify if it’s an outlier or perfectly typical for its immediate surroundings—a key detail for both valuation and lifestyle fit.
