Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,981 sqft single-family home on a 6,941 sqft lot, built in 1967, located on Kilmer Avenue in the Westwood area of Winnipeg. The property’s real strength is its size. The living area is well above average for its street, neighbourhood, and city—ranking in the top 7% of Westwood homes and top 11% city-wide. The lot is also generous by local standards, falling in the top 17% across Winnipeg. However, the assessed value is below the street average of $461,000 at $432,000, suggesting the home may be priced more conservatively relative to its immediate neighbours while still sitting above the broader community average.
The appeal here is space per dollar. Buyers who want a large home with a good-sized lot, but aren’t looking to pay a premium for the highest-priced property on the street, will find this interesting. It’s a practical fit for families who need square footage, or for someone who values interior room and yard space over a newer build or a “top-of-market” address. The age (1967) is typical for the area, so updates and maintenance history will matter more than the year itself. The property suits a buyer who sees value in scale and is comfortable with a home from this era, rather than someone seeking a turnkey new build or the highest-end finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the property’s assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
On its own street, the assessed value of $432,000 is below the average of $461,000—ranking 23rd out of 32 homes. But in the wider Westwood neighbourhood, it’s above the average of $392,000, placing it in the top 19% of the area. So it’s priced conservatively for the street but strong for the community.
2. Is the living space really that much larger than typical?
Yes. The home’s 1,981 sqft is notably bigger than the typical Westwood home (1,372 sqft average) and the Winnipeg average (1,342 sqft). Even on its own street, where homes average 1,809 sqft, this property is in the top 25%. It’s a genuinely spacious home relative to almost any local benchmark.
3. Does the lot size offer any practical advantages beyond the numbers?
The lot is 6,941 sqft, which is close to the street average but larger than most in the neighbourhood and city. Practically, this means more outdoor space for gardening, play, or potential expansion, without being oversized to the point of high maintenance. It’s a balanced lot for a home of this size.
4. How does the age of the home compare to others in the area?
Built in 1967, it’s very typical for Westwood, where the average home dates to 1966. On its street, the average is 1968, so it’s slightly older than immediate neighbours but well within the norm. The construction era is not unusual, so condition and updates will be the deciding factors, not the year itself.
5. What kind of buyer is this property not ideal for?
It’s probably not the best fit for someone looking for a brand-new home or a “prestige” property that tops the street in value. Buyers who prioritize a low-maintenance, recently built home or who want the most architecturally current design may find the 1967 build less appealing. It also may not suit those who prefer a smaller footprint and lower running costs, given the generous living area and lot.
