Property Overview
This one-and-a-half storey home at 118 Essex Avenue in Winnipeg's Glenwood neighbourhood presents a classic character property with modern updates. Built in 1929, it features 1,098 sqft of living space, a renovated basement, and a detached garage on a 3,585 sqft lot. Its assessed value is $250k.
Key Characteristics & Appeal
The primary appeal of this home lies in its balance of historic charm and practical renovation, notably in the finished basement. It stands out on its street for its above-average living space compared to immediate neighbours, offering more room than many homes in the area. However, its lot size and assessed value are more modest when viewed against the broader Glenwood neighbourhood and city-wide averages.
This property would suit a first-time buyer or a downsizer looking for a manageable, updated character home in a central neighbourhood without the premium price tag of a larger lot or a newer build. It’s a practical choice for someone who values interior space and updates over a large yard or a more contemporary footprint. A thoughtful perspective is that its "around average" metrics on Essex Avenue suggest it fits seamlessly into its specific streetscape, potentially offering a more consistent neighbourhood character than a standout, atypical property.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living space compare to nearby homes?
At 1,098 sqft, the living area is above average for Essex Avenue itself, ranking in the top 18% of 78 homes on the street. It provides more interior space than many direct comparables in the immediate area.
2. Is the assessed value typical for Glenwood?
The $250k assessment is below the neighbourhood average for Glenwood, ranking in the top 79% (meaning roughly 79% of homes in Glenwood have a higher assessed value). This suggests the property may be viewed as a more affordable entry point into the area.
3. What should I know about the lot size?
The 3,585 sqft lot is close to the average for Essex Avenue but is below the average lot size for the wider Glenwood neighbourhood. This means outdoor space is proportionate to the street but not as expansive as some other area properties.
4. The home was built in 1929. What does that imply?
While the home has a renovated basement, its age (97 years) means prospective buyers should be mindful of the potential for older components (like original wiring or plumbing) that may not have been updated. It ranks as newer than many city-wide homes but is typical for its local area.
5. How can I find out the exact historical sale prices?
The listed sale price ranges are estimates from public data. The exact sold price history is available by request via email from the listing service, which provides the accurate figures manually.
