489 Hethrington Avenue

Property Overview: 489 Hethrington Avenue, Lord Roberts, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home is defined by its strong position within the established Lord Roberts neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in offering above-average living space (1,152 sq ft) for the immediate area, ranking in the top 19% of homes on Hethrington Avenue. This suggests a more spacious interior compared to many neighbouring properties. The assessed value is solid for the neighbourhood, ranking above average locally, which can indicate good value retention in this specific community.

The lot, while modest by city-wide suburban standards, is typical for the area. Built in 1912, the home carries the character and potential complexities of its era. It would suit a buyer looking for a character home in a central location, who values interior space over a large yard, and is prepared for the realities of maintaining an older property. Its metrics suggest it's a "neighbourhood player"—not the newest or largest in the city, but a competitively sized and valued home within its own sought-after community.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the home's age impact its value and appeal?
Built in 1912, it is older than most Winnipeg homes. This can be a source of character and sturdy construction for some buyers, but it also implies a greater likelihood of older mechanical systems (like plumbing or wiring) that may need attention or updating.

2. The sold price history shows a range for 2019. How can I get the exact figure?
The exact sold price is not publicly displayed online. You can email the listing service to request it manually; they state they do not use email requests for marketing spam and aim to reply by the end of the same day.

3. The lot seems smaller than the city average. Is that a concern?
The land area is about average for Lord Roberts but below average city-wide. This is typical for mature, central neighbourhoods. It means lower maintenance but less private outdoor space—a trade-off for the location.

4. What do the "rank" and "top percentage" figures actually mean?
They show how this property compares to others in three groups: its own street, the Lord Roberts neighbourhood, and all of Winnipeg. For example, living area is in the "Top 19%" on its street, meaning it is larger than 81% of the homes on Hethrington Avenue.

5. How can I visually compare this property to others nearby?
The listing provides a link to a "neighbourhood analysis page" which maps nearby houses and allows you to compare details like year built, living area, and lot size side-by-side.
