Property Overview: 391 Helmsdale Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1,000 sqft bungalow, built in 1952, presents a solid, no-surprises offering in the Rossmere-B neighborhood. Its primary strength is an exceptionally large 7,280 sqft lot, which ranks in the top 2% within the immediate area, offering rare potential for expansion, gardening, or outdoor living. The home itself is consistently average for its street and neighborhood in terms of living space, assessed value (~$310k), and age, suggesting it’s a typical and maintainable property for the area without major outliers. Citywide, the lot remains above average while the living space is somewhat more compact compared to the Winnipeg average.

The appeal here is grounded in value and potential. It suits practical buyers looking for a stable home in an established community, where the land itself represents a significant asset. It’s ideal for a first-time homeowner who values space to grow over a move-in-ready modern layout, or a long-term resident seeking a manageable property with room for a future addition or workshop. The data suggests you’re paying for a desirable piece of land with a functional, vintage home on it, rather than for premium finishes or square footage.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this house a good value compared to its neighbors?
The assessed value is very close to the neighborhood average, indicating it’s priced fairly for Rossmere-B. The standout value is the lot size, which is significantly larger than most nearby properties.

2. What does the living area ranking mean for daily life?
At 1,000 sqft, the home is average for the street but below the city average. This points to a efficient, likely traditional bungalow layout. It’s sufficient for a small family or couple but may feel cozy for those accustomed to more open-concept, modern spaces.

3. How does the 1952 build year affect the property?
Built in the post-war era, it is typical for the neighborhood. Buyers should budget for updates common to homes of this age, such as windows, roofing, or electrical systems, while also appreciating the character and construction quality of that period.

4. The lot is a major feature. What can I do with it?
The large lot offers clear opportunities: adding a garage or shed, creating extensive garden beds, or even future expansion of the home (subject to zoning and permits). It also provides more privacy and distance from neighbors than is typical in the area.

5. Where can I find precise past sale prices?
Exact historical sale figures are not publicly displayed in detail. You can request this information directly via the email link provided on the listing page; the service aims to provide the data by the end of the day.
