1221 Wolseley Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Who It Suits

This home offers 1,748 square feet of living space on a 3,836-square-foot lot. Built in 1914, it sits on Wolseley Avenue in Winnipeg’s Wolseley neighbourhood. The assessed value is $457,000.

Where the appeal lies: The house is slightly above average for living space within the neighbourhood and well above the citywide average—which suggests more interior room than many newer or smaller homes in other areas. The lot size, while modest compared to the street average, is notably larger than typical lots in the neighbourhood, giving it more outdoor space than most nearby properties. The assessed value is also higher than the neighbourhood and city averages, though it sits close to the median for the street itself. This combination points to a home that’s spacious inside with a decent yard relative to its immediate surroundings, but not overbuilt for the block.

What type of buyer it suits: Someone who values character and interior square footage over a huge yard, and who is comfortable with an older home (1914) in an established, walkable neighbourhood. It could suit a buyer looking for more space than typical infill or starter homes offer, without stepping into newer construction or larger suburban lots. Because the lot is compact relative to the street, it may also appeal to buyers who want less exterior upkeep but still want a private yard—or those interested in the potential for future landscaping or expansion within the existing footprint.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the size of this home compare to others on Wolseley Avenue?
The living area is about average for the street—ranked in the top 50%—but the lot size is smaller than many, sitting in the top 66%. That means you’re getting a house with similar square footage to neighbours, but on a less expansive piece of land.

2. Is this a good value compared to similar homes in Wolseley?
The assessed value is above the neighbourhood average and ranked in the top 16% locally, so the market considers it a higher-value property within Wolseley. Whether that translates to “good value” depends on condition and finishes, but it suggests the home is seen as desirable relative to others nearby.

3. What does the year built (1914) mean for maintenance or renovations?
Homes from that era often have solid construction, plaster walls, and possibly original woodwork, but they may also need updated electrical, plumbing, or insulation. Being older than the citywide average (1966), expect some systems to be original or require attention. A home inspection is recommended.

4. How does the lot size affect usability or future plans?
The lot is below average for the street but above average for the neighbourhood. That means you have more yard than many nearby properties, but less than properties on the wider street. It’s likely suitable for a garden, small shed, or patio, but not for major additions or a large garage without careful planning.

5. What is the neighbourhood like, and is this property well located?
Wolseley is a historic, central Winnipeg neighbourhood known for tree-lined streets, older homes, and proximity to schools, parks, and shops. The fact that this home’s assessed value ranks high within the neighbourhood suggests it’s positioned on a block that holds value well. The street itself has a mix of eras and sizes, which may appeal to buyers looking for character over uniformity.
