Property Summary: 889 Polson Avenue, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 889 Polson Avenue stands out in the Robertson neighborhood for its substantial lot size and modern construction relative to its immediate surroundings. Its key appeal lies in offering above-average space and a newer build on an exceptionally large parcel of land. With 1,240 sqft of living area, the house is comfortably sized, ranking well above local averages. However, the most distinctive feature is the 9,405 sqft lot, which places it in the top 1% of the street and neighborhood—offering rare potential for expansion, gardening, or outdoor living.
The property suits two primary types of buyers: those seeking a long-term family home with room to grow or customize on a generous lot, and value-conscious buyers looking for a solid investment in a well-established area. Its 1958 build date is notably newer than many neighboring homes, potentially suggesting fewer concerns with aging infrastructure. While its assessed value is elite for the street, it aligns with the citywide average, presenting a property that is a premium locally but competitively priced in the broader Winnipeg market.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How does the lot size compare to a typical city lot?
The lot is approximately 9,400 sqft, which is significantly larger than the Winnipeg average of about 6,570 sqft and more than double the average lot on Polson Avenue.
2. The assessed value seems high for the street. Why is that?
The assessed value of $383k is ranked in the top 2% on Polson Avenue. This premium is likely driven by the combination of the home's larger living area, much newer construction date (1958 vs. a 1934 street average), and its exceptionally large lot size.
3. What is the recent sale history?
Records indicate the property sold between August 2022 for a price in the range of CA$400,000–450,000. This placed it in the top 1% of sale prices for both the street and the Robertson area at that time.
4. Is the living space considered large?
At 1,240 sqft, it is above average for both the street (avg. 1,066 sqft) and the Robertson neighborhood (avg. 977 sqft), placing it in the top 20% and top 8% respectively. It is slightly below the citywide average for comparable homes.
5. What are the less obvious considerations for this property?
A key perspective is balance: while the lot is elite locally, the living area is strong for the area but not exceptional city-wide. This creates a unique value proposition centered on land potential. Also, being built in 1958, it may still require attention to updates common to mid-century homes, but likely has advantages over the many pre-1940s homes in the vicinity.
