Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1959-built home in Rossmere-A presents a compelling blend of space, value, and location. With 1,374 sqft of living area, it offers more space than most homes in its immediate neighborhood and on its street, ranking in the top 10-14% locally. The lot size is a significant asset at nearly 7,000 sqft, placing it well above the neighborhood average and in the top 17% citywide, offering ample outdoor potential. Its assessed value of $382k is above average for the Rossmere-A area, suggesting it is a well-regarded property within a desirable pocket of the community.

The appeal lies in its established neighborhood setting combined with above-average proportions. It suits buyers looking for a home with a generous yard in a mature area, who may value the character and stability of a late-1950s build. It’s particularly well-matched for those prioritizing indoor and outdoor space over a brand-new construction, and who appreciate a home that stands out positively within its immediate surroundings rather than just the broader city market.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s value compare to recent sales?
Based on public data, the home sold between $350k-$400k in August 2023. Its current assessed value of $382k is consistent with that range and sits above the neighborhood average, indicating stable or appreciating value in its local context.

2. Is the lot size unusual for the area?
Yes. The lot of 6,952 sqft is notably larger than the Rossmere-A neighborhood average (~5,685 sqft), ranking in the top 12%. This is a key differentiator, offering more private outdoor space than many comparable properties.

3. What does the "Around Average" citywide ranking mean?
While the home excels within its neighborhood, its size and value are more typical when compared to all of Winnipeg. This perspective suggests it is a solid, middle-market home citywide, with its prime advantages being hyper-local.

4. The home was built in 1959. What should I consider?
This is a standard build year for the area. Prospective buyers should budget for updates consistent with a home of this age, such as windows, roof, or mechanical systems, while also appreciating the potential for well-established landscaping and neighborhood maturity.
