35 Fawcett Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1910 home in Winnipeg’s Wolseley neighbourhood with 1,472 square feet of living space on a 3,401-square-foot lot. Its assessed value is $389,000.

The property’s strongest selling point is its age and character. Built in 1910, it ranks in the top 8% of homes on Fawcett Avenue for year built, meaning it’s one of the older, more established houses on the street. The assessed value is also notably above the street average ($389K vs. $309K), which may reflect upgrades, lot quality, or size relative to neighbours.

That said, the living area and lot size are only around average for the street and neighbourhood. The lot is small by citywide standards—Winnipeg’s typical lot is nearly double the size. This home is not about sprawling space; it’s about presence, age, and a higher per-square-foot value.

This property would suit a buyer who values the character and craftsmanship of a pre-war home in a central, established neighbourhood like Wolseley. It appeals to someone willing to take on the quirks of an older house—potentially including systems updates or less storage—in exchange for walkable streets, mature trees, and a home with history. It may be less suited to buyers seeking a starter home with a large yard, or anyone prioritizing modern open-concept layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Above average. On Fawcett Avenue, this home ranks 5th out of 24 similar properties (top 21%). The street average is $309,300, and the neighbourhood average is $371,300, so the $389K assessment sits well above both.

2. Is this a small lot for a Winnipeg home?

It means “year built.” At 1910, this home is older than 92% of comparable homes citywide, and the second-oldest on its street. An older build often means solid framing, historical detailing, and a mature setting—but also potential maintenance needs in plumbing, electrical, or insulation.

4. What is the neighbourhood like?
