23 Barberry Road – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1958-built home in Windsor Park with 928 sq. ft. of living space on a 5,597 sq. ft. lot, assessed at $326,000. The property’s main appeal is its construction year—it ranks 3rd newest on its street and sits above the neighborhood average for its era, meaning it’s older than many citywide comparables but newer than most immediate neighbours. That can matter for structural updates or renovation potential.
The trade-off is in space: living area and lot size are both below street and neighbourhood averages. The assessed value follows that pattern, coming in under the street median. This is not a home for someone looking for maximum square footage or a large yard. It suits a buyer who values a solid, mid-century build on a quieter street and is comfortable with a compact footprint—perhaps a first-time buyer, a downsizer, or someone planning to invest in targeted upgrades rather than pay a premium for existing size. The citywide value ranking (62nd percentile) suggests reasonable affordability relative to the broader market, even if it’s not the cheapest option in Windsor Park.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living space compare to other homes nearby?
At 928 sq. ft., it’s below both the street average (1,049 sq. ft.) and the neighbourhood average (1,091 sq. ft.). On its street, it ranks 27th out of 28 homes for living area. That makes it one of the more compact options in the immediate area.
2. Is the assessed value in line with what you’d expect for the home?
The $326,000 assessment is below the street average of $354,300 and the neighbourhood average of $354,200. Citywide, the value ranks near the middle (62nd percentile), so while it’s not a standout bargain relative to similar homes across Winnipeg, it reflects the smaller size and lot.
3. How old is the property, and does that affect its ranking?
Built in 1958, it’s newer than most homes on Barberry Road (3rd newest out of 28) but close to average for Windsor Park and the city. The year-built ranking is a highlight here—it suggests less deferred maintenance risk than older neighbours, though not by a wide margin.
4. What’s the lot size, and how does it fit the neighbourhood?
The lot is 5,597 sq. ft., which is below the street average (5,986 sq. ft.) but around the middle for the neighbourhood and city. It’s not a small lot by city standards, but it’s smaller than what’s typical for the immediate street.
