Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This home at 19 Kenwood Place in Winnipeg's Norberry neighborhood presents a specific value proposition. Built in 1956, it is one of the newer homes on its street. With 1,030 sqft of living space, the house itself is more compact than many in the city, but it sits on a 6,816 sqft lot that is larger than the Winnipeg average. The assessed value of $334k is very typical for Norberry but sits below the average for its immediate street.
Its appeal lies in this balance: you're acquiring a proportionally larger piece of land in a mature neighborhood, with a house that may require less immediate updating relative to its peers on the block. It suits a practical buyer—perhaps a first-time homeowner, downsizer, or investor—who prioritizes lot size and a solid neighborhood foundation over expansive interior square footage. It’s a property where the value is grounded more in the land and location than in the size of the structure.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the house smaller than others nearby?
Yes. At 1,030 sqft, the living area is below the average for both its street and the city overall. This indicates a more compact, efficient layout.
2. How does the lot size compare?
The 6,816 sqft lot is a key feature. It's larger than the average Winnipeg lot, offering more outdoor space, but it is actually one of the smaller lots on Kenwood Place itself.
3. What does the assessed value tell me?
The $334k assessment is very close to the Norberry area average, suggesting it's priced consistently within the neighborhood. However, it's below the average for its specific street, which could indicate a relative value opportunity or reflect the home's smaller size.
4. The home was last sold in 2019. What price data is available?
Public records show it sold for between $300k and $350k in July 2019. For verified, exact historical sale prices, you must request a manual lookup via the provided email service.
5. Is a 1956-built home a concern?
Interestingly, for its street and Norberry area, a 1956 build date is considered above average, meaning it's newer than many surrounding homes. This suggests potentially fewer immediate major updates compared to older neighbors, but a full inspection is always recommended.
