Property Overview: 131 Birchdale Avenue, Norwood West, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 131 Birchdale Avenue presents a classic Winnipeg character home built in 1944, situated on a notably generous lot. Its primary appeal lies in the land itself—at just under 6,000 square feet, the property ranks in the top 3% for lot size on its street, offering above-average outdoor space for the neighbourhood. This creates significant potential for gardening, expansion, or simply enjoying a larger yard, which is a growing rarity in established areas.
The house, with 1,200 sqft of living space, is modest in size compared to some area averages, suggesting a more manageable footprint that suits simpler living or those looking to customize. The assessed value is consistent with local norms, indicating a fair market positioning. A thoughtful perspective is that this property may represent a "land-value opportunity" where the value of the parcel itself is a strong component, appealing to those who envision future projects or prioritize outdoor privacy over a large existing interior. It would suit a buyer who appreciates the established, tree-lined streets of Norwood West and is either comfortable with a home of a classic era or sees the potential in a property where the lot is a standout feature. It’s a practical choice for someone looking for a solid foundation in a mature neighbourhood without a premium price for excessive square footage.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to typical properties?
The land area of 5,998 sqft is a key feature. It ranks in the top 20% within the broader Norwood West area and is in the elite top 3% specifically on Birchdale Avenue, meaning it is significantly larger than most direct neighbours' lots.
2. Is the home smaller than average for the area?
At 1,200 sqft, the living area is somewhat below the average for comparable homes in both Norwood West and citywide. This indicates a more compact home, which could mean lower utility costs and less maintenance, but may require creative use of space.
3. What is the property’s recent sales history?
Records indicate the home sold in July 2019 for a price between CA$400,000 and $450,000. For verified, exact historical sold prices and full transaction history, a manual lookup can be requested from the site.
4. How does its assessed value rank locally?
The $424,000 assessed value is around the average for its street and neighbourhood. Citywide, it ranks in the top third, suggesting it holds value well compared to the broader Winnipeg market.
5. The home was built in 1944. What should I consider?
Built 82 years ago, the home is typical for the vintage of the street and area. Prospective buyers should budget for inspections focused on aging components like plumbing, electrical, and the foundation, which are standard considerations for homes of this era, while also appreciating the character and build quality of the period.
