Property Overview: 1040 Jessie Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home at 1040 Jessie Avenue in Rockwood presents a compelling mix of space, established value, and mature neighborhood character. Its primary appeal lies in offering above-average living space (1,548 sq ft) for both its immediate street and the wider Rockwood area, ranking in the top tiers locally. Built in 1942, it is a well-situated, older home on a standard city lot, offering more interior room than many neighboring properties.

The data suggests it would particularly suit buyers who prioritize interior space over a large yard in a settled area. Its assessed value of $418k is notably above average for its street and neighborhood, indicating a perception of solid value relative to nearby homes. A thoughtful perspective is that this property represents a "larger fish in a smaller pond" within Rockwood—it offers more house than many around it, which can be a strategic advantage in a neighborhood of mostly smaller, older homes. It may appeal to those seeking character-home space without the footprint or maintenance of a vast lot, or to buyers looking for a home that already stands out positively in its immediate micro-market.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the home’s size compare to others nearby?
Very favorably. With 1,548 sq ft of living area, this home is larger than approximately 93% of homes in the Rockwood neighborhood and 76% of homes on Jessie Avenue itself, making it a spacious option in the area.

2. Is the assessed value reasonable for the neighborhood?
The $418k assessment is above the local averages, ranking in the top 16% on its street and top 12% in Rockwood. This suggests the property is considered more valuable than most comparable homes in its direct vicinity, likely due to its larger living area.

3. What should I know about the lot size?
The lot is 3,645 sq ft, which is fairly typical for Jessie Avenue but below the average for both the Rockwood neighborhood and Winnipeg overall. This means outdoor space is standard for the street but more limited compared to many other parts of the city.

4. The home was built in 1942. How does that compare?
It is newer than most homes on its street (where the average year built is 1923) but is older than the average home in both Rockwood and Winnipeg. Buyers should anticipate the maintenance and potential update needs common to houses of this era.

5. Where can I find exact historical sold prices?
The site provides sold price ranges (e.g., CA$350k–400k in 10/2017). To obtain fully verified, exact sale figures, you must request a manual lookup via email, as this information is not sourced from the MLS and is not displayed directly on the page.
