Property Overview: 79 Barker Boulevard, River West Park, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home is distinguished by its substantial scale and premium positioning within the established River West Park neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in offering significantly more space than typical properties, both in the 2,729 sqft living area and the expansive 18,936 sqft lot, each ranking in the top 2-4% of Winnipeg. Built in 1975, the house is of a vintage common to the area, suggesting a well-established streetscape. The assessed value of $903k firmly places it among the top 1-2% of homes on its street and in the city, indicating a property that has been substantially upgraded or that offers unique attributes justifying the premium.
It suits buyers looking for a long-term family home with ample indoor and outdoor space in a mature neighborhood, who value privacy and room to grow. It is particularly suited to those who appreciate a home with a proven, high-value trajectory and are not seeking a new-build. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home itself is from the 1970s, its elite rankings in size and value suggest it has been a focus of significant investment, likely offering modern amenities within a classic neighborhood frame.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the assessed value so much higher than neighboring homes?
The assessed value of $903k is more than double the street average, reflecting the home's much larger size, its extensive lot, and likely substantial updates or premium features not found in standard homes on the block.
2. How does the 1975 build year affect the property?
It places the home in the common age range for the area. Buyers should anticipate maintenance or updates consistent with a home of this era, but the elite rankings suggest it has been well-maintained or renovated.
3. What does the sold price history indicate?
Public data shows it last sold between $650k-$700k in 2019. The jump to its current $903k assessment indicates a major market shift, significant improvements, or a combination of both since that sale.
4. Is the large lot size a common feature in River West Park?
No. The lot is over twice the size of the neighborhood average (8,086 sqft), making it a rare and valuable asset that offers exceptional privacy and outdoor potential.
5. How can I verify the exact past sold prices?
Due to data display rules, exact figures are not published online. You can request the full transaction history directly via email from the site, which they will provide manually without using your contact for marketing.
