Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1,040 sqft bungalow, built in 1955 on a 6,492 sqft lot in Rossmere-B, presents a solid, middle-of-the-road offering in the Winnipeg market. Its appeal lies in its balance and established neighborhood context. The home is not an outlier in size or value; its living area and assessed value ($308k) are consistently "around average" when compared to the street, neighborhood, and city. This statistical steadiness can be appealing for buyers seeking a predictable investment without extreme highs or lows.

A thoughtful perspective is its above-average land size for both the neighborhood and city—the lot ranks in the top 18% locally. This suggests more outdoor space than many comparable properties, offering potential for gardening, expansion, or simply more privacy. Additionally, the home is newer than most on its specific street (top 20%), which may hint at slightly updated infrastructure or construction compared to immediate neighbors.

This property would suit a first-time buyer or a downsizer looking for a manageable, single-level home in a mature community. It’s also a practical fit for a value-conscious buyer who prioritizes a larger lot over a larger house and appreciates the stability of a home that aligns closely with area norms.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the assessed value a good indicator of the likely sale price?
The assessed value of $308,000 is a municipal figure for tax purposes. While it provides a benchmark and sits close to neighborhood averages, market conditions, property condition, and recent upgrades will ultimately determine the sale price.

2. How does the lot size compare to others?
The lot is a key feature. At 6,492 sqft, it is larger than most in the Rossmere-B neighborhood (top 18%) and slightly above the Winnipeg average, offering more yard space than many similar homes.

3. The home was built in 1955. What should I consider?
Homes of this era often have solid construction but may require updates to electrical, plumbing, or insulation. Its build year is newer than many on the street, which could be advantageous, but a thorough inspection is essential to understand the condition of major systems and the roof.

4. Are sold prices for this home or nearby ones available?
Public sold price data for this specific address is not displayed here. You can request a manual lookup for the most accurate transaction history by email via the "Request exact figures" button on the original listing page.

5. The living area is just under the neighborhood average. Will it feel small?
At 1,040 sqft, it is very close to the Rossmere-B average (1,047 sqft). The perception of space will depend greatly on the home's layout. The larger-than-average lot also means the footprint could potentially be expanded, subject to local zoning regulations.
