Property Overview: 654 Sherburn Street, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home presents a compelling mix of space, land, and location within Winnipeg's Minto neighborhood. Its primary strengths are its generous proportions relative to the immediate area. The 1,768 sqft living area is notably larger than most comparable homes on its street and in Minto, placing it in the top 4-8% locally. The most standout feature is the 5,306 sqft lot, which ranks in the elite top 1-2% for the street and neighborhood, offering rare outdoor space and potential.
Built in 1943, the home is newer than many in its direct vicinity but carries the expected considerations of an 80-year-old structure. Its assessed value is above average for Minto, yet it sits below the city-wide average, suggesting a value proposition within its established community. The last sale occurred between 2023-2025 in the $300k-$350k range.
This property would suit a buyer looking for a character home with ample indoor and outdoor room to grow, who values a established neighborhood setting over a newer suburban one. It’s ideal for someone who sees potential in a larger lot—whether for gardening, expansion, or simply more privacy—and is prepared for the stewardship that comes with an older, well-sized home.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "Elite" ranking for land area actually mean?
It means this property's lot size is larger than 98-99% of comparable properties in the Minto area. On Sherburn Street specifically, only 3 other lots are larger out of 537.
2. The assessed value seems low compared to the city-wide average. Why?
Assessed value is for taxation purposes and is influenced by many factors, including neighborhood averages and home characteristics. While this home's value is above average for Minto, the Minto area average is significantly lower than the city-wide average, reflecting broader market and locational differences.
3. Is a 1943-built home a concern?
It indicates a solid, character home but necessitates careful inspection. Key systems like wiring, plumbing, and the foundation should be evaluated by a professional. The fact it's newer than many on its street (top 9%) is a relative positive.
4. How reliable is the sold price range shown?
The range is based on publicly available data. For the exact historical sale price, you must request it directly from the source via the provided email link, as they manually verify land title records.
5. The living area is large for the area, but how does the layout function?
The data confirms above-average square footage. However, the flow and room configuration of a 1940s layout may differ from modern open-concept designs. Viewing the home in person or checking for a floor plan is essential to see if the space meets your functional needs.
