Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1929-built home in North River Heights offers a balanced proposition centered on space, location, and value. With 1,620 sqft of living area, it provides above-average interior space for Winnipeg overall, while sitting comfortably within the norms of its established neighbourhood. A key standout is the 5,237 sqft lot, which is notably larger than many on its street and in North River Heights, offering valuable outdoor potential.

Its appeal lies in its established community context. The home is not an outlier in assessed value ($465K) for the area, suggesting it aligns with local market expectations without a premium for extreme modernization. This positions it as a practical entry into a desirable neighbourhood. The property suits buyers looking for a character home with a generous yard, who are comfortable with a house of this vintage and may value the stability of a mature area over a brand-new build. It’s a solid choice for those prioritizing lot size and interior space over a recently constructed property, ideal for a growing family or someone seeking room for gardens or additions.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the home’s age typically affect ownership?
Built in 1929, the home is older than the city-wide average. This often means charming character but can also entail different maintenance considerations compared to a newer build, such as updates to plumbing, electrical, or insulation. A thorough inspection is advised.

2. Is the assessed value a good indicator of the likely selling price?
The assessed value ($465K) is for municipal tax purposes. While it provides a benchmark, the final sale price is determined by the market. Notably, a previous sale in 2021 fell between $400K-$450K, so market conditions have shifted since then.

3. What does the lot size mean for me practically?
At over 5,200 sqft, the lot is a significant feature. This allows more privacy, space for recreation, gardening, or future projects like a shed or deck, compared to many neighbouring properties.

4. How does this property compare to others nearby?
The data shows this home is very typical for North River Heights in terms of size, value, and age. Its lot size is a positive differentiator. You are buying into the neighbourhood’s established averages rather than an exceptionally large or renovated property.

5. Where can I get verified historical sale data?
The site notes that exact sold prices are not displayed publicly due to industry rules. You can request the exact sale history via email from the provider, who will manually look up and send the verified figures.
