28 Purcell Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Suitability

This is a 1915 home with 2,519 square feet of living space on a 3,498-square-foot lot in Winnipeg’s Wolseley neighbourhood. The standout feature is its size: it ranks in the top 3% city-wide for living area, and is the second-largest home on Purcell Avenue. The lot is slightly above average for the street and close to the neighbourhood average, but below the city norm—typical for an older, centrally located area.

The assessed value of $430,000 is above average for the street and neighbourhood, but close to the city-wide average. This suggests the home offers significantly more interior space than most comparably priced properties in Winnipeg. The 1915 build date puts it among the older homes on the street (oldest on the block), ahead of the neighbourhood average, and well older than the typical city home. This is not a newly renovated property, but the age and location may appeal to buyers who value established character, mature streetscapes, and the scale of older construction.

This property would suit buyers who prioritize interior space over lot size, and who are comfortable with an older home that may require upkeep or updates. It’s a strong candidate for someone looking for a large family home in a walkable, established neighbourhood, without paying a premium for a newly built or extensively renovated property. The combination of above-average living area and near-average tax assessment is the main value proposition here.


Five FAQs

1. How does the property’s size compare to other homes in Wolseley and across Winnipeg?
It’s one of the largest homes in the area. It ranks in the top 4% of Wolseley properties and top 3% city-wide for living space, with about 900 square feet more than the neighbourhood average and nearly 1,200 more than the city average.

2. Is the assessed value in line with the home’s size?
The assessed value is above average for the street and neighbourhood, but close to the city average. This means you’re getting significantly more interior square footage than what a typical home at that price point would offer across Winnipeg. The value reflects the home’s age and location, not just its size.

3. What should I know about a home built in 1915?
Older homes often have solid construction, larger rooms, and architectural details not common in newer builds. However, systems (plumbing, electrical, insulation) may be original or updated at different times. It’s wise to budget for ongoing maintenance and potential upgrades. This home is older than most in Wolseley and much older than the average Winnipeg home (1966), so a thorough inspection is recommended.

4. How does the lot size compare?
The lot is slightly above the street and neighbourhood average, but significantly smaller than the Winnipeg average. This is typical for established central neighbourhoods like Wolseley. If you’re looking for a large yard, this may not be the right fit. But if you want a manageable outdoor space with a larger home footprint, it matches well.

5. Who is this home best suited for?
Buyers who want a spacious home in a mature, walkable neighbourhood without paying a premium for a newly built or recently flipped property. It’s a good fit for families needing room to grow, or anyone who values interior square footage over land size or a modern build year.
