Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1,102 sqft bungalow, built in 1969, presents a solid, middle-of-the-road offering in Winnipeg's River East neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in its balance and practicality. The home sits on a notably generous 6,523 sqft lot, which is above average for both the street and the city, offering valuable outdoor space and potential for gardening, expansion, or simply more privacy. While the living area is modest and typical for the area, the assessed value of $367k is competitive, ranking favorably on its own street.

This property would suit a first-time homebuyer or a practical downsizer looking for a manageable footprint without sacrificing yard size. It’s a home for someone who values space around the house more than expansive interior square footage. The data suggests it's not a standout in terms of size or newness, but rather a stable, grounded choice in a mature neighborhood, likely appealing to those prioritizing lot size and value over a modern or large interior.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s value compare to recent sales on the street?
It last sold between $300k-$350k in August 2019. With a current assessed value of $367k, it sits above the street's average assessment, indicating perceived value growth. For precise, verified sale figures of nearby homes, you can request a manual lookup via email.

2. Is the lot size a significant advantage?
Yes. The lot is over 6,500 sqft, placing it in the top 22% on the street and city-wide. This is a less obvious but key asset, providing more flexibility and space than many comparable properties.

3. How does the age of the home (1969) factor in?
The home is older than most in the River East area, ranking in the top 88% (meaning 88% of area homes are newer). Buyers should budget for updates typical of a home from this era, but it also may have been part of the neighborhood's original development, offering established landscaping and character.

4. What does "around average" for living area really mean?
At 1,102 sqft, the interior space is very typical—neither a constraint nor a standout. It’s slightly smaller than the neighborhood average but aligns closely with the city-wide norm, indicating a standard bungalow layout suitable for a smaller household.

5. Where can I see how this property compares visually to its neighbors?
A dedicated neighborhood analysis map is available, allowing you to view this home alongside nearby properties to compare lot size, year built, assessed value, and living area directly.
