Here is a clean, standalone summary of 151 Aubrey Street.

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This property is a two-story home on Aubrey Street in the Wolseley neighbourhood of Winnipeg, built in 1905. It offers 1,840 square feet of living space on a substantial 4,561-square-foot lot.

The home’s strongest asset is the lot. Within its immediate street, the lot size ranks in the top 2%, and it sits in the top 10% for the entire neighbourhood. For a buyer who values outdoor space, gardening, or the potential for expansion in a mature area, this is a rare find. The living area and assessed value are also notably strong for the street—ranking in the top 8%—which suggests the property has been maintained or upgraded relative to its immediate neighbours.

However, the home is older than most. Built in 1905, it ranks near the bottom (top 99% oldest) on its street and across the city. This means a buyer should expect period-specific quirks, possible deferred maintenance typical of a century home, and the need for ongoing investment in systems, insulation, or wiring. The assessed value is around average citywide, so while the home is not undervalued for its size, the price reflects the age and likely the character of the finishes.

This property would best suit a buyer who appreciates older architecture and wants generous interior space and a large lot in a central, established neighbourhood—without paying a premium for a fully renovated or newer home. It’s less suited for someone seeking turnkey, modern efficiency or a small, low-maintenance yard.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How do the property taxes compare?
The taxable assessment of $422,000 is above the street average ($320,500) and neighbourhood average ($371,300), but close to the citywide average for comparable homes ($390,100). Expect higher property taxes than many homes on the same street, but roughly in line with similar-sized homes across Winnipeg.

2. Is the house a designated heritage property?
The data does not indicate any heritage designation. Built in 1905, it is an older home in Wolseley, but no special restrictions are listed. It’s always worth checking with the city’s planning department for any zoning or conservation requirements.

3. What is the lot actually like?
At 4,561 square feet, the lot is large for Aubrey Street (top 2%) and well above the neighbourhood average of 3,434 square feet. Citywide, however, many suburban lots are larger. It offers significant space for a central location, but it won’t feel massive compared to newer suburbs.

4. Has the home been recently renovated?
The data shows no renovation history. The high assessed value and living area relative to street neighbours could hint at updates, but you would need to verify specific upgrades—especially for an older home’s electrical, plumbing, and foundation.

5. Why is the assessed value high for the street but average for the city?
The street has many smaller or older homes, so the $422,000 assessment stands out locally. Across Winnipeg, where large suburban houses are common, the same value is closer to the median. It reflects a trade-off: a good-sized older home in a desirable central neighbourhood, rather than a newer, larger house further out.
