Property Overview: 634 Ingersoll Street, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home, built in 1922, presents a classic Winnipeg character property with practical dimensions. Its 1,080 sqft living area is notably spacious for its immediate street and neighbourhood (Minto), ranking in the top 31% and 45% locally, respectively. This suggests a comfortable interior size that stands out among nearby, often smaller, comparables. The lot size of 2,442 sqft is modest, particularly when viewed against wider city averages, but is typical for the central area.
The primary appeal lies in its value proposition within a well-established community. The assessed value is significantly below the citywide average, indicating a potentially accessible entry point into the market. A key, less obvious perspective is that its "average" rankings on its own street for most metrics suggest it is a representative, no-surprises property in its micro-location—offering stability rather than standing out as an outlier. Its last known sale was between $200k-$250k in 2019.
This property would best suit a first-time buyer or pragmatic investor looking for a character home with solid interior space in a central neighbourhood, without a premium for a large lot. It’s for someone who prioritizes the home’s interior footprint and historic charm over expansive outdoor space.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living area compare to nearby homes?
At 1,080 sqft, the home is actually larger than the average comparable on Ingersoll Street (~968 sqft) and in the Minto neighbourhood (~1,060 sqft), offering more interior space than many immediate neighbours.
2. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the citywide average?
The citywide average is skewed by newer, larger homes in suburban areas. The assessment is more aligned with values in its specific, older central neighbourhood, reflecting its age, lot size, and local market conditions.
3. What does the lot size mean for potential use?
At 2,442 sqft, the lot is manageable for low-maintenance outdoor space. It is below the neighbourhood and city averages, so expectations should be set for a compact yard typical of central, century-old communities.
4. Can I get the exact historical sale price?
The precise sale price is not publicly listed. The listing service offers to provide the exact figure via email upon request, as they manually compile this data from non-public records.
5. The home is over 100 years old. What should I consider?
While the structure is historic, its age is typical for the street and area. A pre-purchase inspection is essential to understand the condition of major aging components like the foundation, plumbing, electrical, and roof.
