Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Fit
This is a 1,350 sqft home built in 1956 on a 5,994 sqft lot, located in the Windsor Park area of Winnipeg. Its standout feature is the living space: it ranks in the top 5% on its street (Erie Bay) and top 9% in the neighbourhood, with a floor plan significantly larger than the local average of 1,091 sqft. The property is assessed at $391,000, which is above the neighbourhood average of $354,000 but right around the city median.
The appeal here is subtle. The house is not the flashiest or most updated on the block—its build year is older than the neighbourhood average—nor does it sit on an oversized lot. But for a buyer who prioritizes interior square footage over land size or a brand-new build, this home delivers real spatial value without commanding a premium price. The assessed value sits just above the street average, suggesting it's fairly priced relative to its immediate neighbours, not overinflated.
This property would suit a buyer who understands the trade-off: you get more interior room than most homes in the area, on a typical lot, in a somewhat older home. It’s a good fit for someone who values usable living space over a recently renovated kitchen or a large yard. Not ideal for a buyer fixated on modern finishes or a prime lot.
Possible FAQs
1. How does the living space compare to similar homes nearby?
Very favourably. At 1,350 sqft, it's roughly 200 sqft larger than the average on its street and about 260 sqft larger than the Windsor Park average. Citywide, it's just slightly above the median.
2. Is the assessed value of $391,000 in line with the market?
The property's assessed value is above both the street and neighbourhood averages, but close to the citywide average. It's not a bargain in relative terms, but it reflects the larger living area.
3. The house was built in 1956. Should I expect major upkeep?
Yes, an older home typically requires attention to systems like plumbing, electrical, and insulation. That said, 1956 is not unusual for Windsor Park; the neighbourhood average is 1961, so many nearby homes are similarly aged.
4. How does the lot size compare?
The lot is 5,994 sqft, which is slightly below the street and city averages but right around the neighbourhood average. It's not a standout feature, but it's not undersized either.
5. Windsor Park—what's the neighbourhood like?
It's an established residential area with a mix of post-war homes, mature trees, and local amenities. The neighbourhood ranks well for property value compared to much of the city, but it's not considered a high-growth or luxury area. Good for stability, less so for rapid appreciation.
