22 Sadler Avenue – Property Summary
1. Key Characteristics & Buyer Fit
This is a 1,072 sqft home built in 1944, set on a notably large 9,662 sqft lot. The living area and assessed value of $307,000 sit around the average for both the street and the Worthington neighbourhood, meaning you’re not paying a premium for extra square footage inside the house. What stands out is the land: citywide, the lot size ranks in the top 7%, which is significantly above the typical Winnipeg parcel. The home itself is older than most nearby properties—nearly twenty years older than the neighbourhood average and more than twenty years older than the citywide average. The appeal here is less about the house’s specs and more about the land opportunity. For a buyer who values outdoor space, gardening, potential for an addition, or just having room between neighbours, this lot offers something the surrounding homes don’t. It would suit someone willing to invest in updating an older home, or a buyer who sees the land as the primary asset and the structure as a secondary consideration. It’s less suited for someone wanting a move-in-ready, modern layout or a low-maintenance property.
2. Frequently Asked Questions
How does the property’s size compare to other homes in the area?
The interior is average for the street and neighbourhood, but at 9,662 sqft, the lot is well above the citywide median. It’s larger than 93% of comparable Winnipeg properties.
Why is the assessed value relatively modest despite the large lot?
Assessed value reflects the combination of land and structure. The home’s age (1944) and likely condition are balancing factors. In this case, the value aligns with the neighbourhood average, meaning the land isn’t driving the assessment up dramatically—at least not yet.
How does the age of the building affect things like insurance or renovations?
An older home often means higher insurance costs and a closer eye from inspectors. You’ll want to confirm the electrical, plumbing, and foundation status. On the upside, pre-1950 construction can have better quality materials than some mid-century builds.
What does “Top 7% for lot size citywide” actually mean in practical terms?
It means this lot is in the upper tier across all of Winnipeg. While many homes in Worthington sit on around 7,800 sqft lots, this one offers roughly 25% more land. That extra space could be used for a garage, workshop, garden, or future subdivision—subject to zoning.
Is the location walkable or transit-accessible?
This summary doesn’t include nearby amenities, but the neighbourhood (Worthington) is generally residential. If walkability to shops or frequent transit is a priority, you’d want to check the specific block. The large lot suggests a more car-oriented, suburban layout.
