Property Overview
178 Messager Street is a modern, above-average-sized home in Winnipeg's North St. Boniface neighbourhood. Built in 2014, its primary appeal lies in its combination of contemporary construction, generous living space, and a premium assessed value that signals its standing as a top-tier property within its area.
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer
This home’s key characteristic is its significant size and modern age relative to its surroundings. With 1,960 sqft of living area, it ranks in the top 10% for size within North St. Boniface, a neighbourhood where many homes are decades older. Its assessed value of $864k places it in the elite top 1% for the area, indicating a premium build quality, finishes, or desirable location features not captured by the basic metrics.
The appeal is multifaceted. It offers the benefits of a newer build (modern systems, energy efficiency, less immediate maintenance) within a well-established community. However, the lot size is notably smaller than the area and city averages, suggesting the value is in the home itself rather than extensive outdoor space. This property would best suit buyers looking for a move-in ready, modern home who prioritize interior space and contemporary amenities over a large yard. It’s ideal for professionals or small families seeking a low-maintenance property in a mature neighbourhood without the quirks and renovation projects of an older character home.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the assessed value so high compared to the area average?
The assessed value is in the top 1% for North St. Boniface, far exceeding the area average of ~$378k. This typically reflects the home's recent construction (2014), larger square footage, high-quality materials, and modern amenities that older neighbouring properties lack.
2. What does the sold price history indicate?
The home sold in late 2019 for an estimated $850k-$900k, which was in the top 1% for the area and city at that time. This past sale supports the current high assessed value and demonstrates a history of commanding a premium price.
3. How does the lot size impact the property?
At 3,912 sqft, the lot is below average for both the area and the city. This means the property likely has a smaller yard. The value is concentrated in the home itself, making it a good fit for those who prefer less outdoor maintenance.
4. Is this a good investment compared to newer suburbs?
The data shows you are paying a premium for a modern home in an older, central neighbourhood. This often means better access to established amenities, mature trees, and community character compared to a similarly priced new build on the city's edges, which might offer a larger lot.
5. How can I verify the exact historical sold price?
The site provides sold price ranges for general research. Due to industry rules, exact MLS sold prices are not displayed publicly here. You can request the exact figure via email from the site provider for verified, precise historical data.
