115 Worthington Avenue

Property Overview

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1954-built detached home with 1,168 square feet of living space on a 9,564-square-foot lot. What stands out most is the land. The lot size ranks in the top 7% across Winnipeg, making it noticeably larger than most properties citywide—though it's slightly smaller than the average on its own street, where lots tend to be generous. The house itself is close to average for its street and neighbourhood in terms of size, and sits in the middle of the pack citywide. Its assessed value of $359,000 is above average for both the street and the broader Worthington area, but right around average for Winnipeg as a whole.

The appeal here is straightforward: you get above-average space outdoors on a good-sized lot, in a solid mid-century neighbourhood where the homes are consistent and well-established. It’s not a standout for square footage or flashy updates, but it offers something rarer—room to expand, garden, or simply not feel crowded. The build year (1954) means it’s likely been through a few cycles of upkeep, and the lot’s value is likely a bigger factor than the house itself.

This would suit buyers who prioritize outdoor space over move-in-ready finishes, or who are looking for a property with potential to add value over time. It’s less ideal for someone wanting a larger home right now, or a property that’s already been fully renovated.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare to other properties nearby?
On its street, the lot is below average—most neighbours have around 10,000 sqft. But in the wider Worthington area and across Winnipeg, it’s significantly above average. So you’re getting a larger-than-normal lot for the city, even if it’s not the biggest on the block.

2. Is the assessed value in line with what similar homes sell for?
The assessed value ($359,000) is above average for both the street and neighbourhood, but close to the citywide average. Assessment isn’t the same as market price, but it suggests the property is valued competitively relative to its area, not overpriced.

3. How does the age of this house affect its condition?
Built in 1954, it’s older than the average home in Winnipeg (1966) and slightly older than others on its street and in the neighbourhood. That doesn’t mean it’s in bad shape, but it does mean systems like plumbing, electrical, and insulation may have been updated—or may need attention. A home inspection would be important.

4. What kind of buyer typically looks at a property like this?
Often buyers who want more land than a newer subdivision offers, or who see potential to renovate or expand. It could also appeal to someone who prefers an established neighbourhood with mature trees and larger lots, rather than a uniform newer development.

5. How does this property rank overall in the city?
It sits in the middle range for living space and assessed value, but in the top 7% for land size across Winnipeg. That’s the standout stat. If you’re comparing purely on square footage, it’s unremarkable. If you’re comparing on land, it’s well above average.
