29 Purcell Avenue – Property Summary

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1909-built home in Wolseley with 2,020 sq. ft. of living space on a 3,332 sq. ft. lot. Its standout feature is interior space: it’s significantly larger than most homes on its own street (ranking 17th out of 24 for living area) and well above the Winnipeg average for comparable properties. The assessed value of $454,000 is high relative to the street, neighbourhood, and city medians, which reflects both the size of the house and its location. The lot, however, is on the smaller side for Winnipeg, and the home is older than the typical citywide property, though not unusual for Wolseley itself.

The appeal lies in getting a generous floor plan within a walkable, established inner-city neighbourhood—without the lot maintenance or yard size of a suburban property. It suits buyers who prioritise interior square footage and character over a large backyard or a modern build. This could be a strong fit for someone who wants room to spread out, values the older-home feel of Wolseley, and is willing to accept a smaller lot and an older structure in exchange for that space and a relatively moderate price premium compared to newer, less central options.

Section 2: Five Possible FAQs

  1. How does the lot size compare to other homes nearby?
    On Purcell Avenue, the lot is slightly smaller than the street average. In Wolseley, it’s roughly average. Across Winnipeg as a whole, it’s on the small side—many city lots are nearly double this size.

  2. Is the assessed value in line with the neighbourhood?
    The assessment is above average for both the street and Wolseley. It’s also above the citywide median for comparable homes, but given the larger-than-average living area, the higher value reflects that extra square footage rather than an inflated price for the location alone.

  3. What’s the condition of a house built in 1909?
    The listing doesn’t detail current condition. Homes of this age often have older mechanicals, windows, or insulation. Buyers should budget for potential updates, especially if the interior hasn’t been modernised recently. A thorough inspection is recommended.

  4. How does this home compare to newer builds in the city?
    It’s older than 95% of Winnipeg homes, so it won’t have the energy efficiency or low-maintenance finishes of a newer house. What it offers instead is character, established landscaping (even on a smaller lot), and a neighbourhood with mature trees and a strong sense of community.

  5. Who typically buys in Wolseley?
    Wolseley attracts a mix—families, professionals, and creatives who want proximity to the river, schools, and shops like those on Portage Avenue. It’s less suburban than newer developments, so buyers are often drawn to walkability and older architecture rather than brand-new amenities or large yards.
