119 Sunnyside Boulevard – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,055 sqft home built in 1920 on a notably large 8,001 sqft lot in Woodhaven. The property’s standout feature is the lot size: it ranks in the top 11% citywide in Winnipeg for its category, and in the top 28% on its own street. This means the land is significantly larger than average for the area and the city, offering space that many comparable homes lack.

The house itself is modest in size—slightly below the Woodhaven neighborhood average of 1,505 sqft and just under the citywide average of 1,342 sqft. The assessed value of $328,000 is also below both the neighborhood ($422,000) and city ($390,100) averages, which reflects the smaller living area and older construction. However, the property ranks in the top 62% for assessed value on its street, indicating that the land is pulling its weight in terms of overall worth.

The appeal here is straightforward: you’re paying for the property’s potential rather than a finished, modern home. The lot gives room for expansion, gardening, outbuildings, or simply privacy that tighter urban lots can’t offer. The house itself is a fixer-upper or a candidate for renovation—not a move-in-ready showpiece. This would suit buyers who value outdoor space over square footage, or those looking to invest in a property where they can add value over time. It’s less suited for someone who wants a turnkey home in a top-tier neighborhood, and more for someone comfortable with older construction and a longer-term project.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare to other homes in Woodhaven?
The lot is 8,001 sqft, which is near the average for the street but below the neighborhood average of 9,926 sqft. That said, it’s still well above the citywide average of 6,570 sqft, and ranks in the top 11% citywide. So while it’s not oversized for Woodhaven, it’s a large lot by broader Winnipeg standards.

2. Is the house considered old, and does that affect its value?
Built in 1920, the house is older than most in the neighborhood (average year built: 1953) and citywide (average: 1966). It ranks in the bottom 13% citywide for age. That said, older homes in good structural shape can still hold value, especially if the lot carries more weight in the appraisal. Buyers should expect potential issues with older systems and should budget for updates.

3. Why is the assessed value lower than the neighborhood average?
The assessed value of $328,000 is about $94,000 less than the Woodhaven average. This is largely because the living area (1,055 sqft) is significantly smaller than the neighborhood norm (1,505 sqft), and the home is older. The lot size does help, but not enough to close the gap in assessed value compared to larger, newer homes nearby.

4. How does this property rank overall on its street?
On Sunnyside Boulevard, the property sits roughly in the middle for living area (27th out of 39), assessed value (24th), and year built (25th). Its best ranking on the street is for lot size (11th out of 39). So it’s not an outlier, but the land gives it a slight edge over most immediate neighbors.

5. Would this property be suitable for a renovation or addition?
Yes, provided the lot allows for expansion under local zoning rules. The 8,001 sqft lot offers more room than most city properties, and the house itself is modest enough that an addition or major reno could significantly boost living space and value. That said, a 1920 home may have foundation, wiring, or plumbing challenges that need addressing first. A thorough inspection is essential before planning any major work.
