Property Overview: 894 Downing Street, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 894 Downing Street in the Minto neighbourhood presents a compelling mix of space, value, and established character. Built in 1941, its primary appeal lies in its generous living area of 1,391 sqft, which ranks in the top 4% of homes on Downing Street and the top 13% within Minto. This means it offers significantly more interior space than most comparable properties in its immediate vicinity. The assessed value of $32,200 similarly ranks well above local averages, suggesting a strong perceived value for the area.
The property suits buyers looking for a spacious home in an established neighbourhood without a premium city-wide price tag. It’s ideal for someone who prioritizes interior square footage over a large lot, as the 3,615 sqft land area is more typical for the area. The home’s 1940s vintage indicates classic construction and potential for character details, but also implies that a buyer should be comfortable with the maintenance considerations of an older home. A thoughtful perspective is that this property represents a "larger fish in a smaller pond"—it stands out locally for its size and assessed value, while being more average in the broader Winnipeg market, offering a smart opportunity for neighbourhood-focused living.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "Elite" ranking for Living Area and Assessed Value mean?
It means that compared to other homes directly on Downing Street and in the Minto area, this property is in the top tier (top 4-8%) for both its size and its municipal assessed value. It is notably larger and has a higher assessment than most of its immediate peers.
2. How recent is the sale history, and what did it sell for?
The home sold between 2022 and 2025, with a public price range of $400,000 to $450,000. The exact sale price is available upon direct request from the listing service.
3. As a home from 1941, what should I consider?
While the building age is typical for the street and area, it is older than the Winnipeg city average. Prospective buyers should budget for potential updates to major aging systems like plumbing, electrical, or the roof, and consider an inspection to understand the home’s condition.
4. How does the lot size compare?
The lot is 3,615 sqft, which is fairly standard for Minto but below the city-wide average. This suggests a manageable yard for maintenance, but may not suit those seeking extensive outdoor space for additions or large gardens.
5. What are comparable nearby properties like?
The listed nearby properties, such as 885 Downing St. and 829 Minto St., are generally older, smaller, and have lower assessed values. This highlights how 894 Downing Street is a larger, higher-value option within the same community.
