Property Overview: 727 La Fleche Street, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home is defined by its generous proportions and historic character. Built in 1895, it offers 1,838 sqft of living space, which is notably larger than most homes on its street, in North St. Boniface, and across Winnipeg. Its assessed value of $446K is also above average for these areas, reflecting its substantial size and likely updated features. The lot is a comfortable 4,961 sqft, typical for the neighbourhood.
The primary appeal lies in acquiring a spacious, well-above-average home in a mature community. It suits buyers looking for character and room to grow, who appreciate the established feel of North St. Boniface. A thoughtful perspective is that this property represents a trade-off: it offers more house for your money compared to city-wide averages, but with the understanding that a 131-year-old home may come with different maintenance considerations and potential renovation needs than a newer build. Its last known sale was between $350K-$400K in early 2022.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "Top 10%" ranking for living area mean?
It means this home's interior square footage is larger than 90% of the comparable homes on La Fleche Street. It's consistently a larger-than-average property across the street, neighbourhood, and city.
2. The home is much older than average. What should I consider?
While it offers classic charm and likely solid construction, an older home may have updated electrical, plumbing, or insulation. A thorough inspection is essential to understand the condition and any potential upcoming investments in maintenance or modernization.
3. Why is the assessed value higher than the last sold price?
The assessed value ($446K) is for municipal tax purposes and reflects the city's valuation. The last sold price (2022, between $350K-$400K) is the market price from its previous sale. Market value can differ from assessed value due to market conditions, property updates since the sale, and other factors.
