Property Overview: 840 Southwood Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1,520 sqft home on Southwood Avenue in Point Road presents a solid, above-average offering in several key metrics. Built in 1951, it sits on a 5,880 sqft lot, providing generous outdoor space that ranks well above the street average. Its primary appeal lies in its strong value proposition within its immediate context: both the living area and the $458k assessed value rank in the top 20% for Southwood Avenue itself, suggesting it stands out positively among its closest neighbors. This indicates a property that is likely well-maintained and proportionally valued for the street.

The home would suit practical buyers looking for established character and space in a mature neighborhood. It’s ideal for someone who values a larger-than-average lot on the street and appreciates a home that performs strongly in its micro-market, even if it’s slightly older than the citywide average. A thoughtful perspective is that this property may offer a "sweet spot"—it carries the stability and lot size of an older home while its above-average rankings suggest updates or conditions that have kept it competitive with newer builds in the area.
