128 Sunnyside Boulevard – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 1,308 sqft home, built in 1953, sits on a notably large 11,230 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s Woodhaven neighbourhood. Its standout feature is the land: ranked first on the street (top 3%) and in the top 4% citywide. The assessed value of $377,000 is above average for the street (top 18%), though roughly in line with neighbourhood and city medians. The living area is similarly average—slightly larger than the street norm but slightly smaller than the Woodhaven average.

The appeal here is not the house itself, but the property. For buyers who value outdoor space, gardening, room for additions, or simply privacy that comes with a deep lot, this offers something rare in a built-up area. The home is solid enough for a mid-century structure, but the real opportunity is in the land. It would suit someone looking to renovate or expand, or a buyer who wants more yard than most city lots provide without leaving an established neighbourhood. It is less suited to those seeking a move-in-ready modern home or a compact, low-maintenance property.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the assessed value compare to recent sale prices?
The assessed value is $377,000, but assessments reflect market conditions at a specific point in time. For current sale context, it is best to check recent comparable sales on Sunnyside Boulevard or in Woodhaven. The street-level rank (top 18%) suggests this home is one of the more valuable on the block, largely due to the lot size.

2. What does “Top 4% citywide” for land area actually mean in practice?
It means this lot is larger than roughly 96% of all residential properties in Winnipeg. At 11,230 sqft, it is about 70% bigger than the typical city lot (6,570 sqft). For reference, that is enough space for a substantial garden, a detached garage or shop, and still have room for a large backyard.

3. Is the house itself outdated, or has it been updated?
The year built is 1953, but there is no information in this data about renovations or updates. Mid-century homes vary widely in condition. A home inspection and a walk-through would be needed to determine the state of the electrical, plumbing, roof, windows, and mechanicals. Given the land value, some buyers factor in a full renovation budget.

4. Why is the living area only “around average” when the lot is so large?
The home’s footprint is modest relative to the lot size—1,308 sqft on 11,230 sqft of land. This is common for older homes on generous lots, where the structure was built before larger floor plans became standard. It also means there is significant potential to expand, either through a main-floor addition or a second storey, subject to zoning and permits.

5. What is the neighbourhood like?
Woodhaven is an established area in Winnipeg, with a mix of older homes and newer infills. The neighbourhood median assessed value ($422,000) is above the city average, indicating a relatively desirable area. The home ranks in the middle of the neighbourhood for both assessed value and living area, so it is not an outlier in terms of house size or price—only in terms of the lot, which is notably larger than most nearby properties.
