Property Overview: 224 Aubert Street, North St. Boniface, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 224 Aubert Street presents a compelling blend of space and location. Its most standout feature is the generous 8,074 sqft lot, which ranks in the top 4% on its own street and the top 6% in North St. Boniface. This offers significant outdoor potential, from gardening to expansion, that is increasingly rare in city neighbourhoods. Built in 1983, the house is newer than many in the area, potentially meaning fewer concerns with outdated major systems. With 1,820 sqft of living space, it provides ample room, ranking well above local and city averages.
The appeal lies in this above-average offering within a well-established neighbourhood. The assessed value of $450k is positioned above the area average, suggesting the property is viewed as a premium offering in North St. Boniface. A less obvious perspective is that while the home itself is modern relative to its neighbours, the large lot provides a "blank canvas" value that could suit someone looking for a established neighbourhood feel but with room to personalize outdoors or add future structures.
This property would best suit buyers looking for a long-term family home where outdoor space is a priority, or for those who value the character of North St. Boniface but prefer a home from a more recent construction era. It’s also a sensible fit for someone who appreciates a home that already stands out in its immediate vicinity in terms of lot size and living space.
