This is a 1949-built home with 1,512 sq. ft. of living space on a 2,506 sq. ft. lot. Its standout feature is the living area, which ranks in the top 5% on Keewatin Street and top 3% within the Weston neighbourhood. Compared to nearby homes, you’re getting significantly more interior space than what’s typical for the area. The assessed value ($255k) is above average for Weston but below average citywide, which suggests the home offers good square footage without a premium price tag tied to the broader Winnipeg market.
The lot is notably compact—ranking in the bottom 5% on the street and bottom 25% in the neighbourhood. This is a trade-off: you get a larger house on a smaller piece of land. The year built is older than most homes on Keewatin Street but newer than many in Weston, where the average build year is 1937.
This property would suit a buyer who prioritizes interior space and wants to be in a well-established central neighbourhood without paying for extra yard. It’s not ideal for someone needing a large garden, garage, or room to expand. The home may appeal to those who see value in a solid floor plan on a modest lot in an area where larger lots are the norm but come with older, smaller homes.

How does the assessed value compare to similar homes in the area?
The value is just below the Keewatin Street average ($259.1k) but above the Weston average ($184.7k) and well below the citywide average ($390.1k). It’s positioned as a reasonably priced option given the larger living area.
-
Is the lot size a dealbreaker for buyers in Weston?
It depends. Most homes in Weston sit on roughly 3,269 sq. ft. lots, so this one is smaller. If you’re not planning major outdoor use or future additions, the lot size is unlikely to be a problem. If you want space for a workshop, garden, or playset, you’d need to look elsewhere.

Why does the living area rank so high for this street and neighbourhood?
Many homes on Keewatin Street and in Weston were built in the 1930s to 1950s with smaller floor plans. At 1,512 sq. ft., this home is above typical for both the street (934 sq. ft. average) and the neighbourhood (936 sq. ft. average). It’s one of the larger homes in the immediate area.
-
What does “ranked top 3% in neighbourhood” actually mean?
Out of 1,736 comparable properties in Weston, this home’s living area is in the top 51. That’s a high percentile. For things like lot size, the ranking is low (1,299 out of 1,736), so you’re trading yard space for interior space relative to the neighbourhood.
-
Should I expect higher than average maintenance or renovation needs?
The home is from 1949—older than most on its street but newer than the neighbourhood median. It’s not exceptionally old by Weston standards, but it’s not a recent build either. Typical considerations for a home of this era include potential updates to electrical, plumbing, insulation, and windows. A home inspection would be worthwhile to assess current condition.
