Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This home at 171 Montrose Street in North River Heights is a well-established property that offers above-average space and value within its broader context. Built in 1926, its century-old character is balanced by practical advantages. The nearly 1,800 sqft of living area is notably larger than the average Winnipeg home, and the lot size of just under 6,000 sqft is generous for the neighbourhood, offering valuable outdoor space. With an assessed value of $540,000, it sits above average for both the North River Heights area and the city overall, indicating a solid valuation foundation. Its recent sale in August 2024 for an estimated $600k-$650k further confirms its market position.
The appeal lies in this balance of classic charm and tangible metrics. It suits buyers looking for a character home without sacrificing interior and yard space, and who value a location in a mature, central neighbourhood. It’s a practical choice for those who appreciate a home that already performs well in comparative rankings for size and value, rather than a newer construction or a fixer-upper project. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home is older than most on its street, this often translates to established landscaping, mature trees, and a settled streetscape—qualities not reflected in a "year built" metric.
