Here is the property summary for 102 Queenston Street.
Key Characteristics & Buyer Fit
This 1923 home sits on a 4,300 sqft lot with 1,542 sqft of living space and an assessed value of $490,000. Its appeal is nuanced: the home is older and the lot is smaller than typical for the prestigious Wellington Crescent neighborhood, but it performs well city-wide. The living area is above the Winnipeg average, and the assessed value ranks in the top 21% across the city, indicating solid underlying value relative to the broader market. The real trade-off here is between neighborhood prestige and practical size. Buyers drawn to this address are likely looking for an entry point into a desirable area without paying for a full-sized estate lot. It would suit someone who values a historic character home in a top-tier postal code, and who is willing to accept a smaller yard and an older structure in exchange for a lower price point than neighboring properties.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does this property’s assessed value compare to other homes on Queenston Street?
The assessed value of $490,000 is roughly in line with the street average of $494,600, placing it in the top 40% of homes on this street. It is significantly below the Wellington Crescent neighborhood average of $805,600, which highlights how much more expensive larger properties in the immediate area are.
2. Is the 1923 build year a concern for maintenance or insurance?
Yes, it is a factor. The home is older than 86% of properties city-wide. While older homes often have solid construction and character details, buyers should expect older systems (plumbing, electrical, foundation) and potentially higher upkeep costs. Some insurers may also charge a premium for homes of this era.
3. How does the lot size affect the property’s usability?
At 4,300 sqft, the lot is smaller than 90% of homes on Queenston Street and 76% in the wider Wellington Crescent area. This means less yard maintenance and a more compact footprint, but also limited space for expansions, a large garden, or a garage. It is a typical city lot size, not a sprawling estate lot.
4. How does the living area rank against similar homes across Winnipeg?
The 1,542 sqft living area is above the city-wide average of 1,342 sqft, placing it in the top 28% of homes city-wide. This is a solid, functional size for a family home, even though it is slightly below the average on its own street.
