Property Overview: 890 Downing Street, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home, built in 1942, presents a compelling value proposition centered on space and location. Its primary appeal lies in its above-average living area of 1,354 sqft, which ranks within the top 6% of homes on Downing Street and the top 15% within the Minto neighbourhood. This suggests you get significantly more interior space than many nearby properties. The assessed value is also above average for both the street and the local area, indicating a perceived solid value for the offering.
The property suits practical buyers looking for a character home with room to grow in an established neighbourhood. It’s ideal for someone who prioritizes interior square footage over a large city-sized lot, as the land area is more typical for Minto but below the Winnipeg average. The data suggests a buyer comfortable with a home of this era, likely valuing the potential and charm of a well-maintained older property over a newer build. A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents a "big fish in a small pond"—it stands out favourably in its immediate surroundings, which can be a smart strategy for both livability and future resale within the community.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s size compare to others nearby?
Very favourably. With 1,354 sqft of living area, it is larger than approximately 94% of homes on Downing Street and 85% of homes in the broader Minto area.
2. Is the assessed value high or low?
The assessed value of $28,700 is above the average for both Downing Street and the Minto neighbourhood. However, it is below the average assessed value for the entire City of Winnipeg, reflecting the local market context.
3. What should I know about a home built in 1942?
As an 84-year-old home, it is around the average age for its street and neighbourhood. Prospective buyers should budget for and investigate updates to major systems like plumbing, electrical, and insulation, while also appreciating the character and build quality of that era.
4. How does the lot size compare?
The 3,615 sqft lot is fairly typical for Minto but is below the city-wide average. This means outdoor space is consistent with the local neighbourhood pattern but may be smaller than lots in newer suburban areas.
5. Can I find out the exact historical sale price?
The listed sale price range is based on public data. The exact sold price history is available by request via email from the listing service, which they provide manually without using your email for unsolicited marketing.
