Property Overview
804 Ashburn Street is a 1,062 sqft home built in 1937, situated on a 3,831 sqft lot in Winnipeg's Minto neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in its strong positioning within its immediate area. While its size and age are fairly typical for the city overall, the property stands out locally with an assessed value that ranks in the top 10% on its street and the top 17% in the Minto area. This suggests it is a well-regarded home in its specific community. The lot size is also notably larger than many neighbouring properties, offering more outdoor space than is common for the locale.
This home would suit a practical buyer looking for a solid, established property in a mature neighbourhood. It’s ideal for someone who values being above average for the immediate area rather than chasing city-wide benchmarks. The 1937 build date appeals to those who appreciate character homes, but who are also comfortable with the maintenance that comes with an older property. The generous lot provides room for gardening, play, or future expansion, which is a significant perk in an inner-city neighbourhood.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the assessed value so much higher locally than city-wide?
This is common for established neighbourhoods. The home’s value is strong compared to its direct peers in Minto, but the city-wide average is pulled higher by newer, larger homes in suburban areas. It indicates this is a desirable property within its own market context.
2. What does the 2017 sale price range tell me?
The prior sale in the $250k-$300k range provides a historical benchmark. For a precise figure, you can request the exact sold price via email from the listing service, which they provide manually.
3. Is a home from 1937 a concern?
While older than the city average, its build year is typical for Ashburn Street and Minto. This means local tradespeople are often familiar with homes of this era. A thorough inspection is always recommended to understand the condition of major systems like wiring, plumbing, and the foundation.
4. How usable is the 3,831 sqft lot?
The lot is significantly larger than the street and area averages, which is a key advantage. It allows for a bigger backyard, more privacy, and potential for additions like a garage, deck, or garden shed, subject to local zoning.
