Property Overview
This home at 1030 Atlantic Avenue in Winnipeg's Robertson neighborhood presents a compelling mix of space, value, and established character. Built in 1957, its key appeal lies in its generous proportions relative to its immediate surroundings. With 1,413 sqft of living area, it ranks in the top 10% on its street and an elite top 3% within Robertson, offering significantly more interior space than local averages. The lot is also a standout feature at over 5,000 sqft, placing it in the top 4% on Atlantic Avenue, which provides ample outdoor potential.
The home’s assessed value of $333,000 is considered elite for the street, indicating it is a higher-value property in that specific context, yet it remains below the Winnipeg citywide average. This creates an interesting dynamic: you get a larger home on a larger lot in the neighborhood compared to most peers, but at an assessed value that is not proportionally higher city-wide. It last sold between $250k-$300k in 2016. This profile suits practical buyers looking for room to grow without a premium citywide price tag, or those who value above-average indoor and outdoor space in an established community. It’s a property that offers more "house" and "land" for your dollar within its local market.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the assessed value compare to the likely selling price?
The assessed value of $333k is for municipal tax purposes and is not a direct market valuation. The last known sale was between $250k-$300k in 2016. A current market assessment would require a professional appraisal or comparative market analysis.
What does the "elite" ranking for lot size actually mean?
It means that among 551 comparable properties on Atlantic Avenue, only 21 have a larger land area. Your 5,099 sqft lot is substantially bigger than the street average of 3,549 sqft, offering greater privacy, landscaping potential, or expansion options than most homes directly around you.
Is a 1957-built home a concern?
While newer than most on its street (average year built: 1933), a home from this era will have aging core components. The key considerations are the maintenance and update history of the roof, wiring, plumbing, and windows, which would be due for inspection.
The city-wide rankings for size and value are average. Is that a downside?
Not necessarily. This highlights the property’s specific local appeal. You are acquiring a home that is spacious and valuable for Robertson, but not paying for the square footage premiums found in newer or higher-priced Winnipeg districts. It represents solid value within its community.
How can I get the exact past sale price?
The provider does not have access to MLS sales records. They offer a manual lookup service; you must submit a request via email to receive the exact historical sale figures directly.
