Property Overview
This home at 590 Walker Avenue in Lord Roberts presents a classic, early 20th-century character combined with practical space. Its key appeal lies in offering above-average living area for both its immediate street and the Lord Roberts neighbourhood, providing more interior room than many comparable homes. Built in 1913, it sits on a modest, manageable lot. The assessed value positions it as an above-average offering on Walker Avenue but represents a more accessible price point city-wide. This creates a value proposition for a specific buyer: someone seeking the established charm and convenience of a central neighbourhood like Lord Roberts, who prioritizes interior space over a large yard and is comfortable with the maintenance considerations of a century-old home. It would suit a first-time buyer, a small household, or an investor looking for a character property with a proven rental history in a desirable area.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s space compare to others in the area?
With 1,260 sqft of living area, this home is in the top 12% on Walker Avenue and the top 21% in Lord Roberts for size, meaning it offers more interior space than most direct comparables.
2. What does the assessed value tell me about this property?
Its assessment is above average for its street but below the city-wide average. This often indicates a solid value within a sought-after, established neighbourhood where land values are high, but the structure itself (age, size) moderates the total assessment.
3. Is the lot size a disadvantage?
The 2,207 sqft lot is smaller than most in Winnipeg. For buyers seeking low-maintenance outdoor space or who prioritize interior square footage and location over a large garden, this can be a practical fit. It limits expansive landscaping but also reduces yard work.
4. As a home built in 1913, what should I consider?
While the year built is around average for the neighbourhood, it necessitates a thorough inspection for foundational integrity, wiring, plumbing, and insulation. This age of home offers character but requires a buyer prepared for potential updates and mindful maintenance.
