Property Overview: 259 Barker Boulevard, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1975-built home in River West Park stands out for its generous proportions, both in its living space and, more notably, on its lot. With 1,760 sqft of living area, it offers above-average space for the street and city. The true distinguishing feature is the 15,521 sqft lot, which ranks in the top 2% citywide, offering exceptional outdoor potential rarely found in Winnipeg. The assessed value of $534k reflects its premium positioning, ranking well above local and city averages.
The appeal lies in securing a property with a legacy-sized lot in a mature neighborhood. It suits buyers looking for a solid, spacious home with the rare opportunity for extensive gardens, outdoor recreation, or future expansion. It’s a practical choice for those who value space and privacy over a newer build, and it represents a long-term asset where the land itself is a significant component of the value.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to typical properties?
The lot is exceptionally large. At over 15,500 sqft, it is nearly double the average for the street and neighborhood, and places in the top 2% of all comparable properties citywide.
2. Is the home’s assessed value in line with the area?
Yes, but at a premium. The assessed value of $534k ranks in the top 14% on its street and top 15% citywide, reflecting the combined value of the above-average house and the elite-sized lot.
3. What is the home’s condition likely to be, given its age?
Built in 1975, it is of a typical vintage for the area. Buyers should budget for updates consistent with a home of this era, but its construction date is squarely average for the street and neighborhood.
4. How can I verify the past sale price mentioned?
The site provides an estimated sold price range from 2017. For fully verified and exact historical transaction figures, you must request a manual lookup via email, as this data is not sourced from the MLS.
5. What does the "above average" city-wide living area ranking mean for daily life?
Ranking in the top 19% citywide for living space means the home provides more interior room than over 80% of comparable Winnipeg properties. This translates to practical advantages for family living, home offices, or storage without needing a brand-new or custom-built property.
