Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1,918 sqft home, built in 1975 on a 7,707 sqft lot, presents a compelling opportunity in Winnipeg's River West Park neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in its strong, above-average positioning across key metrics. The living space is notably generous, ranking in the top 21% on its own street and the top 13% city-wide compared to similar homes. More significantly, its assessed value of $548k ranks in the top 10% on Barker Boulevard and top 13% across Winnipeg, suggesting a perception of quality and desirability that outpaces many peers. The property last sold for an estimated $500k-$550k in August 2023, aligning closely with its current assessment.

This home suits buyers looking for an established, spacious property in a mature neighborhood. It’s ideal for someone who values a larger-than-average footprint both in the home and on the land (the lot size is in the top 12% city-wide). The data suggests it would particularly appeal to buyers seeking a home that already holds a premium position within its immediate community, potentially offering a sense of stability and proven value. A less obvious perspective is that while the home is around the neighborhood average for its year built, its higher assessment indicates likely updates or inherent qualities that have allowed it to appreciate more than its contemporaries.
