Property Overview: 895 Centennial Street, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1,078 sqft home, built in 1958, sits on a 4,792 sqft lot in the Mathers neighbourhood. Its core appeal lies in its solid positioning within a stable, established area. The data suggests a well-maintained property for its age, as its assessed value ranks notably above average for its street. While the living space is typical for the immediate area, the lot size is more generous than many in Mathers, offering valuable outdoor space that is less common locally than in the wider city. The home last sold between 2016 and 2025 for an estimated $300k–$350k.
This property would suit a practical buyer looking for a character home in a mature neighbourhood without the premium of a newer build. It’s ideal for someone who values a larger yard over expansive interior square footage and appreciates a home that has held its value well relative to its peers. It represents a grounded choice for a first-time homeowner or a downsizer seeking a single-family home with established roots and a sense of community.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to others nearby?
Its assessed value is in the top 23% on its own street, indicating it is likely in better condition or has more desirable features than many direct neighbours. Compared to the broader Mathers area and city, its assessment is around average.
2. Is the lot size a pro or a con?
It depends on your priorities. The lot is below average in size for Mathers, but above average for Centennial Street itself. This means you get a more manageable yard than some neighbourhood lots, but potentially more private outdoor space than the house next door.
3. The home was built in 1958. What should I consider?
While older, its year of construction is actually above average (newer) for both its street and the Mathers area. This suggests the immediate surroundings are a well-established, mature neighbourhood. A thorough inspection for updates to major systems (roof, wiring, plumbing) is always recommended for a home of this age.
4. Can I find out the exact past sale price?
The precise sale price is not publicly listed. The listing service provides the price range based on available data and offers to manually share the exact figure via email upon request, at no cost.
5. What does the "ranking" data actually tell me?
The rankings show how this property compares to similar homes in three circles: its immediate street, the Mathers neighbourhood, and city-wide. It’s a useful tool to see if the home is a standout or typical for a given metric (like lot size or value) in each context, helping you gauge its relative position.
