Property Overview: 840 Polson Avenue, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 840 Polson Avenue presents a solid, mid-century property in Winnipeg's Robertson neighborhood. Built in 1955, it is notably newer than many homes on its street and in the broader area. With 1,064 sqft of living space, it sits comfortably above the neighborhood average, offering a practical footprint for everyday living. A key asset is its 4,704 sqft lot, which is larger than typical for Polson Avenue, providing valuable outdoor space and potential.
The appeal lies in its strong positional value within its immediate context. Its assessed value of $304k ranks well above the street and neighborhood averages, suggesting it is perceived as a higher-quality asset in the area. This isn't a standout by city-wide metrics, but rather a well-above-average home for its specific community. It would suit pragmatic buyers looking for a established home in a neighborhood of older properties, who value a larger lot and more modern construction relative to nearby houses. It's a choice for those prioritizing space and condition on their street over a newer suburban layout.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s size compare to others nearby?
At 1,064 sqft, the living area is larger than the typical home in the Robertson neighborhood (avg. 977 sqft) and is very close to the average for Polson Avenue itself (avg. 1,066 sqft).
2. Why is the assessed value higher than many neighbors?
The $304k assessment ranks in the top 22% for the neighborhood. This is likely due to a combination of its newer construction date (1955), its above-average living area, and its larger-than-standard lot size for the street.
3. What is known about the last sale?
Records indicate a sale between August 2019, with a price in the CA$250k–300k range. To obtain the exact, verified sale price and history, a manual lookup must be requested from the site.
4. Is the lot size a significant feature?
Yes. The lot of 4,704 sqft is approximately 20% larger than the average lot on Polson Avenue (3,909 sqft), which is a tangible advantage for privacy, outdoor use, or future expansion compared to direct neighbors.
5. How does its age affect its value and condition?
Built in 1955, the home is significantly newer than the street average (1934). This generally suggests a potentially lower need for major foundational or systemic updates common in much older homes, which is reflected in its stronger assessed value ranking.
