Property Overview: 117 Essex Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home in Glenwood presents a practical opportunity with a distinct character. Built in 1909, it offers 1,102 sqft of living space, which is notably above average for its immediate street. The property includes a detached garage and a full, unrenovated basement, providing functional space and storage.

Its primary appeal lies in its value proposition within a well-established neighbourhood. The home’s assessed value is modest relative to the broader Glenwood area and city, suggesting a potentially accessible entry point. The living area size is a standout feature here, offering more interior space than many direct neighbours. This property would suit a value-conscious buyer, such as a first-time homeowner or an investor, who is comfortable with a home that has historic charm and may require updates. It’s for someone who prioritizes interior space and location over a large lot or modern finishes, and who sees potential in a classic structure.

A less obvious perspective is the home’s age: while it ranks as older than most in the city, this also means it was built in an era of durable materials and may possess architectural details missing in newer builds. Its smaller, 2,502 sqft lot translates to less yard maintenance—a potential plus for some lifestyles.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the home in move-in condition?
The listing notes the basement is "not renovated," which suggests the home may require some updates or cosmetic improvements. Prospective buyers should plan for a thorough inspection to understand the condition of major systems (roof, wiring, plumbing) common in a home of this age.

2. How does the sold price history work?
The listed sold prices are estimated ranges from public data. To obtain the exact historical sale prices, you must request them via email from the site. This is a manual process designed to provide accurate figures directly to serious inquiries.

3. What does the "Top %" ranking mean for the living area?
A ranking in the "Top 17%" for living area on Essex Avenue means this home is larger than approximately 83% of comparable homes on the same street. It indicates that interior space is one of this property's relative strengths within its most immediate context.

4. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the city-wide average?
The city-wide average assessed value includes all property types and ages across Winnipeg. This home’s significantly lower assessment reflects its older age, smaller lot size, and the specific market dynamics of its neighbourhood compared to newer or larger homes elsewhere in the city.

5. What are the implications of a smaller lot size?
At 2,502 sqft, the lot is below average for Glenwood. This typically means a smaller backyard and potentially closer proximity to neighbours. For a buyer, this can mean lower maintenance and a more compact outdoor space, which could be a practical fit for a busy lifestyle or a focus on indoor living.
