Property Overview: 109 Martin Avenue W, Glenelm, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home, built in 1913, presents a classic Glenelm character home with practical updates. Its key appeal lies in offering above-average space for its immediate neighborhood, featuring 1,320 sqft of living area—a size that ranks in the top 9% on its own street. The home sits on a modest, manageable 2,699 sqft lot and includes a detached garage. A renovated basement adds functional living space.

The property’s strongest suit is its value proposition within the local context. While its assessed value is modest citywide, it ranks above average for both size and value on Martin Avenue W and within Glenelm itself. This suggests a home that offers more interior space than many nearby properties for a proportionate price. It would suit a first-time buyer or a downsizer seeking a character home in an established neighborhood without an overly large yard to maintain. It’s also a sensible fit for a value-conscious buyer who prioritizes interior space and a renovated basement over a large lot or a newer build. A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents the "bones" of the neighborhood—it’s not the newest or largest on a city-wide scale, but it offers solid, above-par metrics within its own community, which can be a marker of stability and intrinsic demand.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the home’s size compare to others in the area?
Very favorably. With 1,320 sqft of living area, this home is larger than 91% of comparable properties on its own street and about 69% of those in the broader Glenelm neighborhood.

2. What does the assessed value indicate?
The assessed value of $26,300 is above the average for both the street and Glenelm, but below the Winnipeg city average. This is typical for older, character-filled neighborhoods and reflects the home’s standing as a solid, mid-tier property within its specific locale rather than the wider city.

3. Is the lot size a drawback?
The lot is smaller than average for both Glenelm and Winnipeg. This translates to less yard maintenance, which some buyers may prefer. It’s a trade-off: you gain above-average interior space but have a more compact outdoor area.

4. The home was built in 1913. What should I consider?
While the basement has been renovated, a home of this age will likely have the maintenance considerations typical of early-20th-century construction. A thorough inspection is essential to understand the condition of core systems like wiring, plumbing, and the foundation.

5. Where can I find the exact historical sale price?
The listed sale price range is based on public data. You can obtain the exact sold price by requesting it via email from the listing source, which provides this detail manually without using your email for unsolicited marketing.
