Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1955-built home in Rossmere-B presents a practical opportunity in Winnipeg’s residential market. With 950 square feet of living space, it is comfortably sized for its immediate street and neighborhood, though slightly below the citywide average. Its standout feature is the land: the 6,618 sqft lot is significantly larger than most in Rossmere-B and above the city average, offering valuable outdoor space and potential.

The home’s assessed value of $306k sits below the average for Helmsdale Avenue but aligns with the neighborhood norm, positioning it as a relatively affordable entry into the area. Recent sale history shows steady appreciation. Its appeal lies in this balance of a sizable lot, a manageable footprint, and a price point that reflects a home ready for updates. It would suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or value-oriented investors looking for a property where the land itself is a key asset and where cosmetic improvements could enhance value. A less obvious perspective is that its older construction date (1955) is actually newer than many on its street, suggesting potentially fewer age-related issues than some direct neighbors.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the living area compare to nearby homes?
At 950 sqft, the home is very close to the neighborhood average (1,047 sqft) and typical for the street. It is, however, smaller than the average Winnipeg home, so buyers seeking abundant interior space should note this.

2. Is the assessed value a good indicator of the likely selling price?
The assessed value is a municipal tax valuation, not a market price. Given that the home recently sold within the $350k-$400k range, the current assessed value of $306k appears conservative and likely below potential market value.

3. What does the lot size mean for a buyer?
The lot is a key feature. It’s over 1,300 sqft larger than the Rossmere-B average, providing exceptional yard space for gardening, recreation, or future expansion like a shed or deck, which is uncommon for homes of this vintage in the area.

4. How can I find out the exact past sale prices?
The public data shown is presented in ranges. To obtain verified, exact sale figures from the listing history, you must request a manual lookup from the site provider via email, as MLS data is not displayed directly.

5. What is the context of the 1955 build year?
While the home is nearly 70 years old, it was built later than many on its street (where the average build year is 1950). This doesn’t guarantee condition, but it may indicate slightly newer construction materials and systems compared to some immediate neighbors.
