Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This is a compact, early 20th-century home in Winnipeg's Lord Roberts neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in its position as an accessible entry point into the market, offering a smaller-scale property with a below-average assessed value. The 640 sqft house, built in 1911, sits on a roughly 2,500 sqft lot that is typical for its immediate area.
The data suggests this property suits specific buyer profiles. It would be a practical fit for a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a lower-priced asset, as its metrics for living area and value rank consistently below local and city-wide averages. Its size and vintage also appeal to those seeking a minimalist lifestyle or a manageable renovation project in an established neighbourhood. A less obvious perspective is that a home of this scale and age, while requiring attention, offers a tangible connection to the city's architectural history without the premium of a fully restored character home.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "below average" ranking for living area actually mean?
It means that compared to most homes on its street, in Lord Roberts, and across Winnipeg, this house has less interior space. The 640 sqft size places it in the top 94-98% of smallest properties in those comparison groups.
2. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the city-wide average?
The assessed value of approximately $20,500 is a municipal valuation for tax purposes, not a market price. It reflects the property's smaller size, age, and characteristics relative to others. The sold price range from 2021 ($200k-$250k) is a better indicator of its market value.
3. What are the implications of the home being built in 1911?
As a 115-year-old house, it likely possesses classic charm but also requires a careful inspection for updates to foundational elements, wiring, plumbing, and insulation that modern buyers expect.
4. How does the lot size compare?
At 2,505 sqft, the lot is fairly standard for Arnold Avenue and Lord Roberts but is considered below average when compared to typical lots across the entire city of Winnipeg.
5. How can I find out the exact past sale price?
The exact sold price is not publicly displayed. As noted on the detail page, you can request it via email from the service, which provides the accurate figure manually without using your email for marketing.
