This home sits on a generous 4,684 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Wolseley neighbourhood, well above average for both the street (ranked 2nd out of 34) and the area. The living area is 2,160 sqft, placing it in the top 12% on Westminster Avenue and top 7% citywide for comparable homes. The house was built in 1947, which is older than the city average but consistent with the character of Wolseley—many nearby homes date from the 1910s and 1920s. The assessed value is around $409,000, roughly in line with comparable homes across Winnipeg but slightly above the Wolseley average.
The appeal here is a rare combination of above-average living space and a large lot in an established, walkable neighbourhood known for its mature trees and older homes. The property would suit buyers who value interior space and outdoor room over “new-build” finishes, and who are comfortable with the upkeep of a mid-century home. Because the lot is unusually large for Wolseley—and ranks in the top 10% for the neighbourhood—it may also appeal to someone considering future expansion or a renovation that makes use of the yard.
How does this property compare to other homes on Westminster Avenue?
It has one of the largest lots on the street (2nd out of 34) and the living area is well above the street average of 1,750 sqft. The assessed value is slightly above the street average, but not dramatically so.
Is the assessed value of $409k a good price for this home?
The assessed value is around average for comparable homes citywide and above average for the neighbourhood. Keep in mind that assessed value isn’t always the same as market price—it’s a starting point. Given the lot size and living area, it may be priced competitively for what you’re getting.
Why is the lot size considered “around average” citywide but “above average” locally?
Citywide, the average lot size for comparable homes is 6,570 sqft, which is larger than this property. But in Wolseley, where lots tend to be smaller and older, 4,684 sqft is well above the neighbourhood average of 3,434 sqft. Context matters.
What does it mean that the house was built in 1947?
It’s older than the typical Winnipeg home (average 1966), but in Wolseley, many homes are from the early 1900s—so this one is relatively modern for the area. You can expect solid construction but also potential need for updates to systems, insulation, or windows.
Who would this property not be a good fit for?
Buyers looking for a newer, low-maintenance home or a smaller, more manageable yard may want to look elsewhere. Also, if you’re set on a move-in-ready property with few surprises, an older home in this age range typically benefits from a thorough inspection and possibly some renovation allowance.
