Property Overview
52 Brian Street presents a solid, well-positioned home in Winnipeg's Rossmere-A neighborhood. Built in 1970, it offers 1,208 square feet of living space on a 5,826 sqft lot, with a current assessed value of $352,000.
Key Characteristics & Appeal
The primary appeal of this property lies in its strong positional metrics within its immediate surroundings. While its size and value are around the citywide average, it stands out more locally. Its living area is ranked in the top 4% on Brian Street itself, indicating it is one of the larger homes on its block. The lot size is also very consistent with the street and neighborhood, offering a standard suburban parcel.
It last sold in late 2019 for between $250,000 and $300,000, a price that ranked in the top third for the city at that time, suggesting it was a competitively priced entry into a stable area. The home would suit a first-time buyer or a downsizer looking for a move-in ready property in an established, no-surprises neighborhood. Its appeal is one of relative comfort and stability rather than standout luxury—it’s a home that holds its own on a street of similar properties.
A less obvious perspective is that its "above average" rankings within the neighborhood for living area and year built suggest it is part of a stable, mature core of homes in Rossmere-A, potentially offering a sense of consistency and settled community that can be appealing.
