58 Ethelbert Street

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1913 home in Wolseley with 2,680 sq ft of living space—significantly larger than most properties on its street, in its neighbourhood, and across Winnipeg. It ranks in the top 5% on Ethelbert Street, top 3% in Wolseley, and top 2% city-wide for square footage. The assessed value sits at $542,000, above average locally and across the city. The land is 3,748 sq ft, which is close to the street average but smaller than the citywide norm of 6,570 sq ft.

The appeal is straightforward: you get a lot of interior space on a well-located street in a desirable older neighbourhood. The property carries the character of a century home (built 1913), and its size sets it apart from nearby listings. It suits buyers who prioritise room indoors over a large yard—people who want generous living space without moving to a newer subdivision. It may also appeal to those looking for a Wolseley address with above-average square footage and solid assessment value, rather than a fixer-upper at a lower price point.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the property's size compare to other homes in Wolseley?
It ranks 62nd out of 2,349 homes in the neighbourhood for living area (top 3%). The average in Wolseley is about 1,622 sq ft, so this home is roughly 65% larger.

2. Is the land size unusually small for the area?
On its street, the lot is close to average—just slightly smaller than the 3,886 sq ft median. Within Wolseley it's actually above average. The main difference is against the citywide average, which is much larger partly because it includes newer suburban lots.

3. What does the “assessed value” mean for taxes?
The assessment of $542,000 reflects the city's estimate of market value used to calculate property taxes. It's higher than the medians on the street ($454,000) and in the neighbourhood ($371,000), so taxes will be above typical for Wolseley.

4. How old is the house, and does that affect its condition?
Built in 1913, it's slightly newer than the average house on its street (1916) and in the neighbourhood (also 1916), but older than the citywide median of 1966. Age doesn't directly indicate condition, but buyers should expect older construction methods and plan for potential updates to systems, insulation, and foundations.

5. Why does the ranking page show a progress bar and colour coding?
The bar shows roughly how the property compares to others in the same category. Longer coloured bars mean it ranks higher in that metric (e.g., size, assessed value). Colours highlight whether it's above, at, or below average relative to the comparison group.
