Property Overview: 26 Thornewood Avenue, River Park South, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-established River Park South home, built in 1981, presents a solid, grounded opportunity in the Winnipeg market. Its key appeal lies in its balance and consistency rather than standing out in any single extreme. The 1,216 sqft living space is squarely average for its street, neighborhood, and city, suggesting a practical layout for a smaller family, couple, or first-time buyer. A significant asset is the 6,240 sqft lot, which is above average for the neighborhood, offering valuable outdoor space and potential.

The property’s assessed value of $442k sits above the Winnipeg average, indicating perceived stability, and it last sold in the $450k-$500k range in mid-2022. Its appeal is for the pragmatic buyer who values a established community, a generous yard, and a home that aligns with typical market metrics without surprises. It suits someone looking for a move-in ready foundation in a mature neighborhood, where the value is derived from the whole package—land size, stable valuation, and location—rather than from a newly renovated interior or oversized square footage.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the house smaller than others in the area?
The living area is very close to the averages for the street, neighborhood, and city. It’s not a notably large home, but it is typical for its setting, ranking in the middle of the pack.

2. How does the lot size compare?
This is a strong point. The lot is over 6,200 sqft, which is larger than about 80% of lots in the River Park South neighborhood, offering more private outdoor space than many comparable properties.

3. What does the assessed value tell me?
The $442k assessment is above the citywide average for similar homes, placing it in the top 30% in Winnipeg. This often reflects a combination of the lot size, location, and the property’s condition relative to the broader market.

4. When was it last sold, and for how much?
Records show it sold in May 2022 for a price between $450,000 and $500,000. Exact sale figures require a manual lookup from verified sources.

5. The home was built in 1981. Is that older for the area?
On Thornewood Avenue, it’s actually above average (top 10%), as many homes were built around the same time. In the wider River Park South neighborhood, which has many newer homes, it is below the average build year. City-wide, it’s near the middle. This suggests the immediate street has a consistent, mature character.
