Key Characteristics, Appeal & Ideal Buyer

This 1,440 sqft home, built in 1920, sits on a 4,823 sqft lot in the established North River Heights neighborhood. Its key characteristic is its balanced, middle-of-the-road profile. The living space and lot size are consistently around the average for both the immediate street and the broader area, offering a comfortable scale without extremes. The assessed value of $466k sits above the Winnipeg city-wide average, reflecting the desirability of the location, though it is slightly below the average for North River Heights itself.

The appeal lies in this very stability and the opportunity it presents. It’s a classic, century-old home in a mature neighborhood, likely appealing to those who value character and location over new construction. A thoughtful perspective is that its "below average" year built (ranking in the oldest ~10% on its street) isn't just a negative; for the right buyer, it represents authentic heritage charm and a solid, time-tested structure. The above-city-average valuation on a modest-sized lot underscores that the value is heavily tied to the neighborhood and the home itself, not just land size.

This property would suit a practical buyer looking for a move-in-ready home in a prime area without the premium price of a larger or fully renovated property. It’s also a sensible fit for someone who appreciates a home with history and is comfortable with the maintenance considerations of an older house, within a community of similar vintage homes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s size compare to others nearby?
At 1,440 sqft, the living area is very close to the average for both Ash Street and the North River Heights neighborhood, making it a typical, comfortable size for the area.

2. Is the assessed value reasonable for the neighborhood?
The $466k assessment is slightly below the current average for North River Heights but ranks well above the average for the entire city. This suggests you are paying for a desirable location, with the property value aligned with area norms.

3. What should I know about a home built in 1920?
While offering classic character and sturdy construction, a home of this age will likely have older mechanical systems (like plumbing and electrical), windows, and insulation. A thorough inspection is essential to understand the condition and any needed updates or maintenance.

4. How does the lot size affect potential for expansion or outdoor space?
The lot is just under 5,000 sqft, which is standard for the area. It provides a good-sized yard but may limit possibilities for large additions without compromising outdoor space. It’s ample for gardening and recreation but not an exceptionally large parcel.

5. The data shows it sold in 2021. Can I find out the exact sale price?
The public data shows a sold price range of $400k-$450k for late 2021. To obtain the exact, verified sale price and full history, you must request a manual lookup from the site provider via email, as they do not display MLS records directly.
