About This Property
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1912 home on Alloway Avenue offers 2,201 sq ft of living space, placing it well above average for its street, the Wolseley neighbourhood, and Winnipeg as a whole. The property ranks in the top 7% city-wide for interior size, and its 3,447 sq ft lot is slightly larger than most on the street and in the immediate area. The assessed value is right around the local average, which suggests the pricing reflects the home’s age and location rather than any major recent upgrades. For a house built over a century ago, it’s relatively early compared to other properties on the street. This is a home that appeals to buyers who value space—both indoors and out—over modern finishes, and who are drawn to Wolseley’s established character, tree-lined streets, and walkable layout. It may suit someone looking for a solid older home with good bones and room to put their own stamp on it, rather than a turnkey renovation.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the property’s assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
The assessed value is close to the average for both Alloway Avenue and the broader Wolseley area, sitting in the middle range. This suggests it’s priced in line with what’s typical for the neighbourhood.
2. Is the house considered old even for its street?
Not particularly. The home was built in 1912, which is slightly older than the street average of 1916, but well within the range of what you’d expect in this part of Winnipeg. Many surrounding homes date from a similar period.
3. How does the lot size compare to other Winnipeg properties?
The lot is about 3,447 sq ft, which is slightly above average for the street and the Wolseley area but noticeably smaller than the city-wide average of 6,570 sq ft. That’s typical for an inner-city neighbourhood with older, denser development.
4. What type of buyer would this property be best for?
Someone who prioritises generous living space in a well-established neighbourhood and is open to a home that may need updating or personalisation over time. It’s less suited to buyers seeking a newer build or a large suburban lot.
5. How reliable are the ranking comparisons provided?
The rankings compare the property against other single-family homes within the same street, neighbourhood, and city, using the most recent assessment data. They give a solid sense of where the property stands relative to its peers, though individual preferences and condition are not captured in those numbers.
