17 Sansome Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,264 sqft home built in 1962 on a 5,436 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Westwood neighbourhood. The property sits in a solidly middle-of-the-pack position across most metrics, with one standout feature: its living area ranks in the top 28% on Sansome Avenue itself, meaning it’s one of the roomier options on its immediate street. Assessed value is $364k, which aligns closely with the street average ($356k) but sits below the neighbourhood and city averages ($392k and $390k respectively). The lot, at 5,436 sqft, is on the smaller side for the area—ranking in the bottom quarter on the street and bottom third in the neighbourhood. The house is also a few years older than the typical Westwood home (1962 vs. 1966 average).

Appeal: This is a practical, no-frills property for someone who values interior space over land. It offers decent square footage for its price point relative to the street, and the assessed value suggests it hasn’t been overinflated by market hype. The relatively modest lot may appeal to buyers who don’t want a big yard to maintain but still want a detached home. Its age (over 60 years) means it likely has original bones, so a buyer should come in expecting updates—but also potentially lower competition from those seeking move-in-ready newer builds.

Ideal Buyer: First-time homeowners, downsizers, or investors looking for an older home in an established neighbourhood where they can add value through renovations. Someone who prioritizes indoor living space over outdoor square footage, and who is comfortable with a house that’s older than the surrounding stock but not dramatically out of step with it.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s value compare to others nearby?
The assessed value ($364k) is essentially on par with the street average but about 7% below the Westwood neighbourhood average. Citywide, it falls right at the median. This suggests the home is reasonably priced for its immediate location, though the neighbourhood overall trends slightly higher.

2. Is the lot size a concern?
At 5,436 sqft, the lot is below average for Sansome Avenue and Westwood. If you’re hoping for a large garden, room for an addition, or a double-wide driveway, this may feel tight. But for someone who wants less upkeep or a more compact footprint, it could be a plus.

3. What does the 1962 build year mean in practical terms?
Homes from the early 1960s often have solid framing and good bones, but mechanicals (furnace, electrical, plumbing) and insulation are likely original or near-original. Buyers should budget for potential updates to windows, roof, and systems. The home is older than the typical Westwood house by about four years, so it may not have the latest floor plan trends (e.g., open concept).

4. How does the living area compare to similar homes?
The 1,264 sqft is above average for Sansome Avenue (1,244 avg) but slightly below the neighbourhood (1,372 sqft) and city (1,342 sqft) averages. So you’re getting more space than most immediate neighbours, but less than the broader area norm. It’s a comfortable size for a small family or couple.

5. Is this a good investment property?
The solid assessed value and above-average street-level living area suggest decent baseline value, but the older age and smaller lot may limit appreciation compared to newer or larger-lot homes in Westwood. It could work well as a rental if it’s in reasonable shape, or as a flip if you can add value through cosmetic updates. The neighbourhood is established, which tends to attract stable tenants.
