Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home at 85 Sterling Avenue presents a compelling blend of space, a generous lot, and modern relative age for the area. Its primary appeal lies in its above-average and elite rankings across key metrics when compared to the broader city and the Meadowood neighborhood.

The 1,725 sqft living area is notably spacious, ranking in the top 5% for Meadowood and the top 20% city-wide. The standout feature is the 13,289 sqft lot, which places it in the elite top 3% for both the neighborhood and the entire city, offering exceptional outdoor potential. Built in 1987, it is a newer home compared to many in Winnipeg, suggesting potentially fewer major age-related updates. Its recent sale in the 2023-2025 period indicates a modern transaction history.

This property would suit buyers prioritizing generous indoor and outdoor space over a brand-new build. It’s ideal for families seeking room to grow, gardeners, or anyone valuing privacy and land size that is now rare in many city neighborhoods. The data suggests it offers a "best of both worlds" scenario: a home that feels spacious and modern within its immediate context, while its lot size provides a long-term rarity that adds a layer of investment in lifestyle and property uniqueness.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value relate to the likely market price?
The assessed value is for municipal tax purposes and is typically lower than market value. The more relevant indicator is the home's recent sold price range (2023: CA$500k–550k), which reflects its actual market value at that time.

2. What does the "elite" ranking for land area actually mean for me?
It means this lot is larger than 97% of residential properties in Winnipeg. This translates to more privacy, space for additions like a shed or garage, larger gardens, or simply a greater buffer from neighbors compared to most homes you'll find.

3. The home was built in 1987. What major components might need attention?
While newer than the city average, a home of this age may be approaching the natural lifespan of its original roof, major appliances, HVAC system, or windows. A thorough inspection is advised to gauge the condition of these elements.

4. The living area is in the top 5% for Meadowood but only top 20% city-wide. Why the difference?
This highlights that Meadowood, on average, has smaller homes than some other Winnipeg neighborhoods. So, while this house is quite spacious for its immediate area, there are larger homes elsewhere in the city. Its appeal is its relative size within a sought-after location.

5. How can I get the exact historical sold price?
The exact sold prices are not publicly displayed in detail. You can request the precise history by emailing the listing service via the "Get exact sold price history" button. They provide this data manually and do not use requests for marketing spam.
