Property Overview: 958 Polson Avenue, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1,096 sqft home on a 4,686 sqft lot presents a solid, grounded opportunity in the Robertson neighborhood. Built in 1956, it is notably newer than many homes on its street and in the immediate area, which may suggest updated infrastructure or fewer concerns associated with older construction. Its assessed value of $293k sits above the street average but below the Winnipeg city average, positioning it as a premium property on its block while remaining accessible within the broader market.
The appeal lies in its relative spaciousness for the area—both the living space and the lot size are above local averages—offering more room than many neighboring homes. It suits practical buyers looking for value and space in a well-established neighborhood, particularly first-time homeowners or downsizers who want a manageable property without compromising on yard space. A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents a "big fish in a small pond" on Polson Avenue, offering above-average attributes in its immediate context, which can be a smart strategy for long-term value in a transitioning area.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to recent sales?
It last sold between 200k-250k in late 2016. Its current assessed value ($293k) is above the street average, indicating perceived growth. For precise, verified sale figures, a manual lookup via the site is required.
2. Is the living space considered large for Winnipeg?
At 1,096 sqft, it is slightly above average for the Robertson neighborhood but below the Winnipeg city average. It offers more space than many comparable local homes, making it a roomy option within its specific community.
3. What does the 1956 build year imply?
Built in 1956, this home is significantly newer than the average home on its street (1934) and in Robertson (1949). This often suggests potentially newer wiring, plumbing, or foundation materials compared to nearby properties.
4. How does the lot size benefit a buyer?
At 4,686 sqft, the lot is larger than most on Polson Avenue. This offers more outdoor space for gardening, recreation, or expansion than is typical for the immediate area.
