Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,915 sqft home built in 1910, located in the Wolseley neighbourhood. Its standout feature is its assessed value: ranked #2 out of 99 homes on Chestnut Street (top 2%), with an assessment of $520k versus the street average of $358.5k. That places it in an "elite" tier for its immediate street context. The living area is also well above average—top 13% citywide—and the lot size (3,186 sqft) is roughly average for the street but notably smaller than the citywide average.

The appeal here is understated. It's not a new build or a sprawling lot, but it offers above-average interior space in a desirable older neighbourhood, combined with a high assessed value that signals strong underlying quality or recent upgrades. It would suit buyers who prioritize character, location, and interior square footage over a big yard or a modern construction date. This property likely appeals to someone who values what Wolseley offers—mature trees, walkability, older homes with craftsmanship—and is willing to accept a smaller lot in exchange for more living space and a premium street position. It's less suited for someone wanting a large private yard or a move-in-ready, recently built home.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. The assessment is high relative to the street and neighbourhood. Does that mean the taxes will be higher too?
Yes, generally a higher assessed value leads to higher property taxes, though the exact amount depends on the current mill rate in Winnipeg. It's worth checking the most recent tax bill to confirm the annual figure.

2. The home was built in 1910, and citywide it's in the bottom 6% by age. Are older homes in Wolseley typically well maintained?
Many homes in Wolseley from that era have been updated, but age does mean potential for older wiring, plumbing, and foundation issues. A thorough home inspection is recommended. The fact that its assessed value is top-tier on its street suggests the property has been well cared for or renovated, but you'll want to verify the condition of major systems.

3. The lot size is below the city average. How common is that in Wolseley?
Very common. Wolseley is known for compact lots and dense tree cover. The neighbourhood average lot size is around 3,434 sqft, which is still well under the citywide average of 6,570 sqft. If a large yard is a priority, this area may not be the best fit.

4. What does "top 2% on Chestnut Street" for assessed value actually indicate about the home?
It suggests the home is one of the most valuable on the street, likely due to a combination of factors: above-average living space, quality renovations, desirable location on the block, or unique architectural features. It doesn't guarantee a recent renovation, but it does indicate the market (and assessor) sees it as a standout property on that street.

5. The rankings compare this property to "comparable homes." What defines a comparable home in these statistics?
Comparable homes are those with similar characteristics—likely single-family houses with similar zoning, size range, and use type within the same street, neighbourhood, or city. The comparison isn't against all properties, but against a filtered set, which makes the rankings more meaningful for buyers trying to gauge relative value.
