Property Overview: 61 Barrington Avenue, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This Norberry home presents a practical and efficient living option in Winnipeg. Built in 1972, it is notably newer than many homes on its street and in the wider area, which can be appealing for buyers concerned with older infrastructure. With 1,214 sqft of living space, the interior is comfortably above average for Barrington Avenue and aligns well with the typical Norberry home, offering a sensible layout without excessive upkeep.

The appeal here is value-focused. The assessed value of $299k sits below the average for the street and the city, suggesting a potentially more accessible entry point into the neighbourhood. This is paired with a smaller, manageable lot of 4,199 sqft. While not offering expansive outdoor space, this translates to less yard maintenance—a notable consideration for downsizers, first-time buyers, or those seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle. The property suits pragmatic buyers who prioritize a newer-built home and efficient use of space over a large lot, and who see the value in a home priced below area averages.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the lower assessed value a concern?
Not necessarily. It primarily reflects the home’s specific attributes (like lot size) relative to neighbours. It can indicate a more affordable purchase price, but a professional appraisal is recommended to determine current market value.

2. What does "newer than average" for a 1972 home mean?
Most comparable homes on Barrington Avenue and in Norberry were built in the early 1960s or 1950s. A 1972 construction may feature updates in electrical systems, layout, or materials that came standard in later builds, potentially reducing immediate renovation needs.

3. How might the smaller lot size affect me?
It limits large-scale gardening, expansions, or adding detached structures like a large garage. However, it significantly reduces seasonal yard work and associated costs, which is a key advantage for many.

4. The sold price history shows a range. Can I get the exact figure?
The site provides sold price ranges from public data. For the exact historical sale price and a fully verified transaction history, you must request a manual lookup via email, as MLS data is not displayed here.

5. Who would this property not suit?
Buyers seeking a large yard for gardening, play, or future additions, or those who prioritize square footage significantly above the city average, may find the lot and living space constraints limiting. It’s best for those comfortable with a compact, efficient property.
