97 Evanson Street – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,965-square-foot home on Evanson Street in Winnipeg’s Wolseley neighbourhood, built in 1907 on a 2,527-square-foot lot. The property stands out most for its living space: it ranks in the top 2% on its street and top 12% city-wide for square footage, well above the typical 1,342-square-foot city average. The assessed value of $420,000 is also notably strong at the street level (top 10%) but sits closer to the city-wide average, suggesting the size premium doesn’t fully carry over into valuation.

Two less obvious points worth noting: First, the land is only slightly above average for the street (top 15%) but well below both neighbourhood and city norms for lot size—so the home’s footprint is the real draw, not the yard. Second, the 1907 construction date places it among the older homes on the street (top 97% older) and in the city (top 96% older), which may appeal to buyers who value historic character but could also mean higher maintenance or renovation needs.

Who it suits: Buyers who prioritize interior space and want a larger-than-average home in a central, established neighbourhood. It’s less suited for someone seeking a big lot, a newer build, or a property where the assessed value offers clear upside compared to local averages. The Wolseley location typically attracts those who appreciate older homes, walkable streets, and a mix of original and updated architecture.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s living space compare to others nearby?
It’s significantly larger than most homes on Evanson Street (top 2%) and well above the city-wide average for comparable properties (top 12%). At the neighbourhood level, it’s still above average but not as dominant—fitting into the top 24% of homes in Wolseley.

2. Is the assessed value aligned with the living area?
Not exactly. The $420,000 assessment ranks much higher on the street (top 10%) than it does city-wide (top 34%). While the home has more square footage than most, the value per square foot is not unusually high, which may reflect the older construction, land constraints, or neighbourhood price ceilings.

3. How does the land size factor in?
The 2,527-square-foot lot is above average for the immediate street (top 15%) but below average for Wolseley (top 80%) and well below the city-wide typical lot size (top 95%). The property is more about interior volume than outdoor space.

4. What should a buyer know about the age of the home?
Built in 1907, it’s among the oldest 4% of homes city-wide. That makes it older than most options on the market, even within Wolseley, where the neighbourhood average year built is 1916. Older homes can offer quality construction and character, but buyers should plan for potential updates to wiring, plumbing, insulation, or foundation work.

5. Where does this property sit in terms of overall value opportunity?
The home’s assessed value is competitive—not a bargain, but not overstretched either. The combination of above-average living area and only average-to-slightly-above-average valuation suggests a buyer gets more interior space for the dollar compared to many newer or more land-heavy properties. The trade-off is an older home on a smaller lot.
