This 1909 home on Purcell Avenue offers 2,091 sq ft of living space on a 3,257 sq ft lot. The house sits in Winnipeg’s Wolseley neighbourhood, a well-established area known for its mature trees, older homes, and walkable streets.
What stands out: The living space is notably generous. While the property is close to the average size on its own street, it ranks in the top 18% within the Wolseley area and the top 9% citywide. For a home of this era, that kind of interior space is a real advantage — most comparable period homes in the neighbourhood are smaller.
The assessed value (property tax base) is $474,000, which is significantly above both the street average ($358,000) and the Wolseley average ($371,000). This places it second among the 24 homes on Purcell Avenue. Buyers should note this means property taxes will be higher than many nearby homes.
The lot is on the smaller side — 21st out of 24 on the street — though it sits close to the Wolseley average. Given the neighbourhood’s typical lot sizes, this is not unusual, but anyone looking for a large yard or expansion potential should take note.
The age is a factor. Built in 1909, this home is older than most in Wolseley and significantly older than the Winnipeg average. This appeals to buyers who appreciate historic character, craftsmanship, and established neighbourhoods, but it also means potential maintenance considerations that come with a century-old house.
Who it suits: Buyers who value generous interior square footage in a historic, central neighbourhood. It will likely appeal to people who want a home with period detail, don’t need a large lot, and are prepared for the realities of owning an older property — including higher property taxes relative to the street. It’s less suited for someone seeking a newer, move-in-ready home with a big yard or low upkeep.
1. How does the living space compare to other homes in the area?
The 2,091 sq ft is right around the average for Purcell Avenue, but well above the Wolseley neighbourhood average of 1,622 sq ft. Citywide, it’s in the top 9%, meaning it’s significantly larger than most Winnipeg homes.
2. Is the property tax higher or lower than similar homes?
Higher. The assessed value of $474,000 is well above the average for both the street and the neighbourhood. This rank is 2nd out of 24 homes on Purcell Avenue, so taxes will reflect that.
3. What should I know about the lot size?
At 3,257 sq ft, the lot is below average for its own street and for Winnipeg as a whole. However, it’s close to the typical lot size in Wolseley, so it fits the neighbourhood standard. If you’re planning additions or a large garden, the space is limited.
4. How old is the house, and does that matter?
The house was built in 1909. It’s about average in age for Purcell Avenue, but older than most homes in Wolseley (average 1916) and much older than the citywide average (1966). Expect period-specific features, but also factor in potential updates to systems, insulation, and foundation over time.
5. Who would this property not be a good fit for?
Buyers looking for a large yard, modern construction, or lower property taxes would likely want to look elsewhere. The combination of an older home, a compact lot, and above-average assessments makes this a better fit for someone who prioritizes interior space and historic character over newer finishes or outdoor space.
