Property Overview: 801 Polson Avenue, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 801 Polson Avenue presents a solid, mid-century property in Winnipeg's Robertson neighborhood. Built in 1956, it is notably newer than many homes on its street and in the broader area, which may suggest updated infrastructure or fewer concerns associated with older construction. With 1,101 sqft of living space, it offers a practical layout that is above average for Robertson and competitive on Polson Avenue.
The property’s standout feature is its land. The lot of 4,925 sqft is substantially larger than the street and neighborhood averages, providing valuable outdoor space and potential in a city where lot size often dictates future value. The assessed value of $294k sits above the street average but below the citywide average, positioning it as a potentially more accessible entry point into a neighborhood without the premium of a newer or significantly larger home.
Its appeal lies in this balance: it’s a home that offers more land and a more recent build year than its immediate peers, without a drastic price jump. It would suit first-time buyers or practical downsizers looking for a manageable home with room to garden or entertain outdoors. It’s also a sensible fit for value-oriented buyers who prioritize lot size and a newer build over having the largest house on the block.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to recent sales?
According to available data, a home at this address sold between $250k-$300k in March 2016. Its current assessed value of $294k suggests it has held value relative to that sale. For verified, exact historical sale prices, a manual lookup can be requested.
2. Is the living space considered small for Winnipeg?
At 1,101 sqft, it is slightly below the Winnipeg average of 1,342 sqft for comparable homes. However, it is above the average for the Robertson neighborhood (977 sqft), making it a reasonably sized home for this specific area.
3. What does the "newer" 1956 build year actually mean for a buyer?
While still nearly 70 years old, this home is significantly newer than the street average (1934) and neighborhood average (1949). This could imply elements like updated electrical wiring, plumbing, or foundation standards from that era, potentially reducing the immediate need for major system overhauls common in much older homes.
4. The citywide assessed value ranking seems low. Is that a concern?
Ranking in the top 72% citywide means the assessed value is below the city average. This isn’t inherently negative; it primarily reflects that this is a modest home in a modest neighborhood compared to the full spectrum of Winnipeg properties, from condos to luxury estates. It indicates a more affordable tax base relative to the city as a whole.
5. How does the lot size impact future potential?
The lot is over 25% larger than the street average. This is a tangible asset, offering more privacy, green space, and flexibility than neighboring properties. For future owners, it could accommodate additions like a larger garage, a workshop, or a deck, subject to zoning regulations.
