208 Ruby Street – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 1911-built home on Ruby Street in Wolseley offers 1,900 sqft of living space on a 3,030 sqft lot. Its standout feature is interior space: it ranks in the top 13% city-wide for living area, well above the Winnipeg average of 1,342 sqft. Within Wolseley, it sits in the top 28%, and on Ruby Street itself, it's in the top third. The assessed value of $430,000 is above both the street and neighbourhood averages but right around the city median, suggesting you're getting more square footage relative to tax valuation. The lot is typical for the street but smaller than the city norm—something to note if you prioritize yard space. The home's 1911 construction is old even by Wolseley standards, which means character details and solid bones are likely, but so are ongoing maintenance realities.

The natural appeal here is space per dollar in a mature, established neighbourhood. Buyers who value interior square footage and a central location over a large yard or a newer build will find this compelling. It would suit someone who appreciates older homes and wants room to spread out without paying a premium for a brand-new house or a sprawling lot. Families needing extra living area, or anyone looking for a home with period character in a walkable area, should take a closer look.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the property's size compare to others in Wolseley?
It's notably larger than average. The typical home in the neighbourhood is around 1,622 sqft, while this one is 1,900 sqft—roughly 17% bigger. It ranks in the top 28% of all homes in the area.

2. Is the assessed value in line with the home's size?
The assessment of $430,000 is above the neighbourhood and street averages, but it's close to the city-wide median. Given that the home has significantly more interior space than most properties in Winnipeg, the value appears reasonable for the square footage. The lot is smaller than average, which likely offsets some of the size advantage.

3. What should I know about a home built in 1911?
The construction year is older than the city average of 1966 and slightly older than the Wolseley average of 1916. This means the home likely has original features like thick plaster walls, hardwood, and mouldings, but buyers should budget for updates to systems like wiring, plumbing, insulation, and the roof. A thorough inspection is strongly recommended.

4. How does the lot size affect usability?
At 3,030 sqft, the lot is standard for Ruby Street but below the Wolseley average of 3,434 sqft. It's significantly smaller than the typical Winnipeg lot. There's likely room for a small yard and possibly a garage, but it won't accommodate large gardens, extensive outdoor entertaining, or major additions. The focus is on the living space inside, not the land.

5. What is Wolseley like as a neighbourhood?
Wolseley is a well-established, central Winnipeg neighbourhood known for its tree-lined streets, older character homes, and a mix of families, professionals, and long-time residents. It's walkable to shops, cafes, and parks, with good access to the downtown core. The housing stock is predominantly early 20th century, so this home is very much in its element here.
