120 Worthington Avenue – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 2005-built home with 1,446 sq ft of living space and an 11,816 sq ft lot. What stands out is not a single extreme feature, but a consistent pattern of being well above average across multiple measures.
The lot is the strongest asset—it ranks in the top 4% citywide, meaning most homes in Winnipeg sit on significantly smaller parcels. The house itself is newer than nearly everything around it: built in 2005, it ranks 6th on the street and 4th in the neighbourhood, where the average home dates to the early 1960s. The assessed value ($462,000) is also well above local averages, reflecting both the size and condition of the property.
What makes this property interesting is that the living area (1,446 sq ft) is only slightly above the city average, but the land is nearly double it. That suggests this could be a home where the yard and outdoor space matter as much as the interior—something less common in newer subdivisions where lots tend to be smaller.
Who it suits: Buyers looking for a newer home in an established, older neighbourhood, with generous outdoor space. It would also appeal to someone who values privacy and room to garden, build a shop, or extend the house later, without moving to a fringe area. Families who want a house with modern construction but a matured, treed lot would find this a rare combination.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the living space compare to other homes in the area?
It’s above average for both the street and neighbourhood but close to the city average. The home is not unusually large inside, but it is larger than most of its immediate neighbours.
2. Is the assessed value a fair reflection of what the home might sell for?
Assessed value is a tax tool, not a market value. The property is assessed well above local averages, which often indicates a home that holds value, but final pricing depends on condition, finishes, and market conditions at time of sale.
3. Why is the lot considered such a strong feature?
At nearly 12,000 sq ft, the lot ranks in the top 4% citywide. Most homes in Winnipeg are on lots around 6,500 sq ft. This means significantly more outdoor space than typical, especially compared to newer homes.
4. Is a 2005 home considered “new” in this neighbourhood?
Yes. The average home on Worthington Avenue was built in 1957, and in the broader Worthington neighbourhood, the average is 1962. This house is roughly 40 to 50 years newer than most surrounding homes.
5. What does “above average” or “top X%” actually mean here?
These rankings compare this property to all other homes on the same street, in the same neighbourhood, and across Winnipeg. A rank in the top 15% for living area on the street means only about 1 in 7 homes nearby is larger. The percentages use property assessment data, not MLS listings.
