Property Overview: 251 Tufnell Drive, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home at 251 Tufnell Drive in River Park South is a practical, no-frills property that represents a specific value proposition in the Winnipeg market. Built in 1978, its 930 sqft living area and 3,999 sqft lot are notably more compact than most homes on its street and in the wider neighborhood. This translates to a home with lower maintenance demands, both indoors and outdoors, which is a core part of its appeal.

Its strength lies in its financial positioning. With an assessed value of $402k, it sits squarely at the average for its street and slightly below the neighborhood average, yet it holds a stronger-than-average rank city-wide for value. This suggests you are acquiring a property in a stable, established area without paying a premium for above-average size. It last sold between $250k-$300k in 2016, indicating significant equity growth for the previous owner.

This property would best suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or pragmatic investors seeking an affordable entry into a mature suburban neighborhood like River Park South. It’s for those who prioritize location and financial efficiency over spaciousness, viewing the smaller footprint as a feature that reduces upkeep costs and effort rather than a drawback.


Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this a small house?

2. What is the financial picture like?
The assessed value of $402k is very typical for the street and represents good value within the broader city context. Its last known sale price was between $250,000 and $300,000 in late 2016.

3. Who would this home appeal to most?
Its compact size and efficient value make it a strong candidate for first-time homeowners looking to build equity in a established area, or for empty-nesters seeking to downsize their living space and yard maintenance without leaving the neighborhood.
