Property Overview: 667 Kylemore Avenue, Lord Roberts, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home presents a compelling mix of established neighbourhood character and relative modernity. Built in 1954, it is notably newer than many homes on its street and in the Lord Roberts area, potentially suggesting fewer concerns with the aging systems common in century-old houses. With 768 sqft of living space, it is a comfortably sized bungalow, larger than many immediate neighbours but modest by broader city standards, emphasizing efficient use of space.
Its primary appeal lies in its strong positioning within the local context. The assessed value of $330k ranks well above average for both Kylemore Avenue and the Lord Roberts neighbourhood, indicating it is perceived as a premium property in its immediate area. This is supported by a land area of nearly 4,000 sqft, which is generous for the lot sizes typical on this street and in central neighbourhoods, offering valuable outdoor space or future expansion potential.
This property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable, low-maintenance home in a central, established area without the unknowns of a much older build. It’s also a sensible choice for value-focused buyers who prioritize a strong lot size and a more modern foundation within a mature community, over maximum square footage.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to nearby sales?
Based on public data, a very similar home two doors down at 663 Kylemore Avenue sold in the $300k-$350k range in 2022. Given this home’s higher assessed value and larger lot, it would likely be positioned at the upper end of that spectrum or above it in today’s market.
2. Is the living area sufficient for a small family?
At 768 sqft, the living area is functional for a couple or a small family. It’s larger than many comparable bungalows on the street (which average 660 sqft, as seen in nearby listings) but is considered below average for the city overall. Efficient layout is key.
3. What are the advantages of a 1954 build in this neighbourhood?
