Key Characteristics & Appeal

This one-and-a-half storey home, built in 1908, presents a classic character property in Winnipeg's Glenelm neighbourhood. With 1,090 square feet of living space and a 3,035 sqft lot, its metrics are generally average for its immediate street but sit below the broader city averages, indicating a more modest and affordable scale. The home has a basement that is noted as not being renovated, and it does not include a garage or pool.

The primary appeal lies in its location and value proposition. It suits first-time homebuyers, downsizers, or investors seeking an entry point into a established neighbourhood without a premium price tag. The home’s assessed value is notably below average for both Glenelm and citywide, suggesting a potentially lower property tax burden and an opportunity for value appreciation through updates. A thoughtful perspective is that its older vintage (118 years) offers authentic charm but also means prospective buyers should be prepared for the maintenance and potential renovation projects typical of a century home. It’s a property for those who value neighbourhood character over modern size and finishes, and who see potential in a solid, unrenovated foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does "below average" for assessed value in the neighbourhood mean for me?
It typically indicates a lower property tax assessment compared to many homes in Glenelm. This can make ongoing ownership costs more affordable, but it may also reflect the home’s unrenovated condition or smaller size relative to others in the area.

2. Is the unrenovated basement a major concern?
It depends on your plans and inspection results. An unrenovated basement offers a blank canvas for finishing to suit your needs but requires a thorough check for foundational integrity, moisture management, and necessary upgrades to plumbing or electrical systems.

3. The home is older than most on the street. What should I consider?
While full of character, a 118-year-old home will likely have older building materials and systems. A specialized inspection for heritage properties is advisable to understand the condition of the structure, wiring, plumbing, and insulation, and to budget for respectful updates.

4. There’s no garage. What are the parking options?
The property listing notes no garage, so parking would be limited to on-street. It’s important to verify the specific street parking regulations with the city to ensure it meets your daily needs.

5. How does the sold price history help determine current value?
The listed sale prices from 2016 and 2022 provide a trend of the home’s market value over time. Given the significant increase between those dates, it underscores the neighbourhood’s appreciation potential. However, current value will be influenced by market conditions, the home’s present state, and comparable recent sales.
