125 Woodhaven Boulevard – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1920-built home with 908 sq ft of living space and a 7,842 sq ft lot. Compared to others on the same street and in the Woodhaven neighbourhood, the living area is notably small—ranking in the bottom few percent locally. The assessed value (for tax purposes) is $290,000, which also falls below the average for both the street and the wider community.
Where this property stands out is the lot size. While it’s smaller than the average on Woodhaven Boulevard, it’s well above the city-wide median, landing in the top 12% across Winnipeg. That means the appeal is less about the house itself and more about the land it sits on. For a 1920 build, the home is roughly average in age for its street (the median on the block is 1946), but older than much of the city’s housing stock.
This would suit a buyer who is less concerned with move-in-ready square footage and more interested in a larger-than-typical urban lot—possibly for renovation, expansion, or redevelopment. It’s not a natural fit for someone looking for a turnkey home with generous interior space. The low assessed value relative to the neighbourhood might also appeal to someone watching property taxes.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the living area so small compared to other homes in the area?
The home was built in 1920, before larger floor plans became common in the neighbourhood. Many nearby homes were built later and are bigger. The 908 sq ft is well below the Woodhaven average of roughly 1,505 sq ft.
2. Is the lot big enough to build an addition?
At 7,842 sq ft, the lot is larger than the city average (6,570 sq ft) and ranks in the top 12% city-wide. Whether an addition is possible depends on local zoning and setback rules, but the land size offers more flexibility than many properties in Winnipeg.
3. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes?
The assessed value of $290,000 is below both the street average ($385,000) and the neighbourhood average ($422,000). It’s also lower than the city-wide average of $390,000. That said, assessment is for tax purposes and doesn’t directly reflect market value.
4. Is the house a good candidate for a full renovation?
It could be. The home is older but not unusually old for its street. The living area is compact, so a renovation might focus on reconfiguring the interior rather than just updating finishes. The lot size may allow for expansion, but that adds complexity and cost.
5. How does this property compare to others on Woodhaven Boulevard?
In terms of living space and assessed value, it’s on the lower end—ranking 66th and 49th out of 69 homes, respectively. The lot size is also below the street average. However, the home’s age is close to the median for the street. Buyers drawn to this street may need to adjust expectations around house size.
