Property Overview: 233 Rochester Avenue, Fort Richmond, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-situated Fort Richmond home presents a solid, above-average offering in several key areas. Built in 1977, its construction date is notably newer than most peers on its street and in the neighbourhood, suggesting potentially fewer immediate concerns with aging components. The 1,372 sqft living space is comfortably in line with area averages, but the property stands out for its generous 7,599 sqft lot—well above average for the street and city—offering valuable outdoor space and future potential.
Its primary appeal lies in this combination of a newer build year for the area and a sizable, private lot. The home’s assessed value consistently ranks above average across local comparisons, indicating strong official valuation relative to its peers. A renovated basement adds functional living space. This property would best suit practical buyers looking for a grounded, long-term family home in a mature neighbourhood, who value ample yard space over a massive interior footprint. It’s also a sensible choice for those mindful of maintenance, given its relatively younger age for the area.
