Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1,088 sqft home, built in 1957, presents a solid and above-average offering within its established Robertson neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in its strong positional value: it consistently ranks above local averages for its year built, assessed value, and lot size (4,502 sqft) when compared directly to its immediate street and area. This suggests a well-maintained property that stands out positively in its direct context. The home suits practical buyers looking for a move-in-ready foundation in a mature area—those who value a larger-than-standard lot for the street and a home newer than many in the vicinity. It’s a sensible choice for first-time homeowners or downsizers who prioritize neighborhood character over square footage, as the living area is comfortable but modest by broader city standards. A thoughtful perspective is that this property represents a "high-floor" option for the area; it may not have the highest upside, but its metrics indicate a lower risk of being overshadowed by neighboring properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home truly compare to others nearby?
The data shows it ranks highly on Polson Avenue itself, particularly in year built (top 7%) and assessed value (top 25%). It’s a newer and more valuable property than most on its specific street, which is a key point of stability.

2. What is the likely sold price?
The last recorded sale was between $250,000 and $300,000 in March 2022. For precise, verified historical sold prices, you must request a manual lookup via email, as this site does not display MLS records.

3. Is the lot size a significant advantage?
Yes. At 4,502 sqft, the lot is above average for Polson Avenue (top 26%), offering more outdoor space than many direct neighbors. This is a tangible asset for privacy, gardening, or expansion potential.

4. How does it fit within the wider Winnipeg market?
Citywide, this home is around average for living area and value. Its appeal is more localized, offering better-than-typical metrics for Robertson and Polson Avenue, rather than competing with newer, larger suburban homes.
