Here is a summary of the property at 54 Berrydale Avenue, written for direct web display.
Key Characteristics & Buyer Fit
This is a home that stands out primarily for its land. Sitting on 11,141 square feet, it ranks in the top 4% city-wide for lot size in Winnipeg, placing it well above the neighborhood average of 7,831 sqft. The house itself was built in 1985, making it newer than most comparable homes on Berrydale Avenue (where the average build year is 1945) and newer than roughly 85% of homes in the Worthington area. Its living area of 1,024 sqft is slightly below the citywide average but sits near the middle of the pack for the immediate street and neighborhood.
The assessed value of $315,000 is well below the citywide average for comparable homes ($390,100), yet sits near the top third of properties on the street. This suggests the value is tied more to the land than to the dwelling itself.
The appeal here is for a buyer who values outdoor space and a newer build over square footage. This will suit someone looking for room to expand, garden, or build a shop or garage, or a buyer who wants a relatively modern house (by Winnipeg standards) without the maintenance of an older home. It may feel modest inside, but the lot is the asset.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the house considered small for the area?
The 1,024 sqft living area is around average for the street and the Worthington neighborhood. It is slightly below the citywide average for comparable homes, but not unusually small given the size of the lot. The priority here seems to have been land, not interior footprint.
2. How does the property’s value compare to other homes in Winnipeg?
It sits at the 66th percentile city-wide, meaning about two-thirds of comparable homes carry a higher assessed value. This is largely because the house itself is smaller than many citywide comps. Within the immediate neighborhood, the value is very close to the average of $315,300.
3. What is the year built, and is that considered old or new for this area?
Built in 1985, this home is significantly newer than most on Berrydale Avenue (where the typical home dates to 1945) and newer than the majority of homes in Worthington (average 1962). It is also newer than roughly 70% of homes across Winnipeg. So locally, it is quite modern.
4. What does the large lot mean in practical terms?
It means the property ranks in the top 4% of all Winnipeg lots for size. This is unusual for a home built in the mid-80s. Practical possibilities include adding an extension, building a detached garage or large shed, creating a substantial garden, or having a significant yard for play or privacy. The land itself is the home’s strongest feature.
5. How does this property compare to others on Berrydale Avenue alone?
On the street, it is newer (top 8%), has a larger lot (top 16%), is valued slightly above average (top 33%), and has a nearly average living area. So it is one of the newer, larger-lot homes on the street, which could be a differentiator for resale or redevelopment potential.
