Property Overview: 42 Cobourg Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a classic two-storey home in the Glenelm neighbourhood, built in 1914. With 1,424 sqft of living space, it offers more room than many comparable homes on its street and in the immediate area. The property includes a detached garage and a standard city lot of just over 3,000 sqft. Notably, the basement is present but not renovated, representing a clear opportunity for future customization.

The primary appeal lies in its solid, above-average footprint for the locale and its position in a well-established community. The home’s assessed value is modest relative to the wider city, which may translate to a manageable property tax burden. It suits a practical buyer—perhaps a first-time homeowner, an investor, or a downsizer—who values character and location over modern finishes. This buyer should be prepared for the maintenance typical of a 110-year-old house and see potential in a home that offers space to grow into, rather than a turn-key solution. A less obvious perspective is that its "average" metrics within Glenelm suggest it’s a quintessential example of the neighbourhood, offering stability without the premium of a fully renovated or outlier property.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
