This is a 1,099 sqft home built in 1961 on a 5,640 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Westwood neighbourhood. The property sits slightly below average in living space compared to others on its street and within the neighbourhood, but lands roughly in line with citywide medians. Its assessed value of $351,000 is similarly middle-of-the-pack—neither a standout bargain nor overpriced relative to nearby homes.
The appeal here is less about standout features and more about solid, unflashy fundamentals. The lot is decent-sized for the area, ranking in the top 40% citywide, which gives it more outdoor space than many comparable Winnipeg homes. The year built (1961) means it’s an older home, but not unusually so for the neighbourhood—Westwood has a mix of mid-century and newer builds. Buyers who value predictability over uniqueness will find this property worth a look.
This home suits first-time buyers or those moving within the neighbourhood who want a functional, modest-sized house without paying a premium for a top-tier location or recent renovation. It’s also a reasonable fit for someone looking for a property with good lot-to-house ratio that might allow for future expansion or landscaping changes. It’s not the kind of place that will turn heads on paper, but it doesn’t carry the risk of being overvalued either.
1. How does the living space compare to other homes in Westwood?
At 1,099 sqft, it’s below the neighbourhood average of 1,372 sqft, ranking in the bottom third locally. That said, it’s not unusually small for a mid-century bungalow or split-level in this area. If you’re used to newer suburban homes, it may feel compact; if you’re downsizing or prefer efficient layouts, it could be fine.
2. Is the assessed value realistic for the current market?
The assessed value of $351,000 is slightly below the Westwood neighbourhood average of around $392,000. Given its smaller living area and older construction, that figure looks reasonable—not artificially low or inflated. It’s worth comparing against recent sale prices on Sansome Avenue to confirm alignment with current conditions.
3. What’s the lot like? Can I expand the house?
The lot is 5,640 sqft, which ranks in the top 40% citywide—a bit larger than many Winnipeg properties. Whether you can expand depends on zoning, setbacks, and the home’s existing footprint. A lot this size often offers more flexibility than a typical 4,000 sqft urban lot, but you’d need to check local bylaws before planning major additions.
4. How old is the home, and what maintenance should I expect?
Built in 1961, it’s older than most homes on the street and in Westwood. Expect typical mid-century considerations: older mechanical systems (furnace, electrical, plumbing), potential for original windows or insulation, and possible foundation or roof wear. A pre-purchase inspection would be wise to identify any deferred maintenance.
5. How does this property compare to others citywide?
Across Winnipeg, this home is close to average for living space, assessed value, and year built, but above average for lot size. That means you’re getting more land than most homes in the city without paying extra for a larger house. It’s a trade-off that appeals to buyers who value outdoor space over interior square footage.
