Key Characteristics, Appeal & Ideal Buyer

This home is a classic 1927 character property in the established North River Heights neighbourhood. With 1,226 sqft of living space on a 4,319 sqft lot, it presents a more compact and manageable footprint compared to many area homes. Its assessed value of $449,000 is notably above the Winnipeg citywide average, reflecting the desirability of the location, but sits around the average for North River Heights itself. This suggests you are paying a premium for the neighbourhood rather than for an exceptionally large house.

The primary appeal lies in its position within a sought-after, central community. It’s a home for those who value location and character over sheer size. The lot size is decent for the area, offering outdoor space without being overwhelming to maintain. A thoughtful perspective is that this property represents an entry point into a premium neighbourhood—a chance to own a character home in a top area without the larger square footage and corresponding price tag of its biggest neighbours. It would suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking the stability and convenience of North River Heights, who are comfortable with a home of a certain age and a layout that may differ from modern open-concept designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s size compare to others nearby?
At 1,226 sqft, the living area is below the average for Queenston Street itself and is a moderately compact size for the North River Heights neighbourhood, which often features larger homes.

2. Is the assessed value reasonable for the area?
The $449,000 assessment is around the middle range for North River Heights. It is, however, above the citywide average, which underscores the value placed on homes in this established neighbourhood.

3. What should I consider about a home built in 1927?
A home of this age offers classic charm but warrants a thorough inspection. Key considerations would be the condition and efficiency of major systems (plumbing, electrical, heating), the state of the foundation and roof, and potential for historical features. It represents a different style of living than a new build.

4. The data shows it sold in 2016. How is that price relevant today?
The previous sold price (listed between $250k-$300k in 2016) is provided for historical context only. It primarily illustrates the property’s price trajectory and should not be used as a direct indicator of current market value, which has changed significantly in the intervening years.

5. How can I get exact historical sale prices for this property?
The site notes that due to industry rules, exact MLS sold records are not displayed publicly. You can request the exact sold price history by emailing the site directly for a manual lookup.
