Property Overview: 140 Stranmillis Avenue, Glenwood, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This one-and-a-half storey home, built in 1948, presents a classic Glenwood character home with practical updates and notable outdoor space. Its key appeal lies in a balanced offering: it's a home that doesn't stand out for extreme size or newness, but provides solid, above-average fundamentals for its immediate area. The living space (1,036 sq ft) and assessed value are both squarely average for the Stranmillis Avenue streetscape and the wider Glenwood neighbourhood, indicating a stable, in-line investment.

The property’s standout feature is its 5,100 sq ft lot, which ranks in the top 13% on its street and top 28% in Glenwood. This generous yard is a significant asset for gardening, play, or future expansion. The home also includes a renovated basement and a detached garage. A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents the "reliable middle" of its established neighbourhood—it’s not a fixer-upper nor a full rebuild, but a straightforward canvas. It would suit first-time buyers seeking a move-in-ready home with room to grow outdoors, or downsizers looking for a manageable property without sacrificing yard space in a convenient location.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s value compare to others in Winnipeg?
The assessed value is around average for its street and neighbourhood, but ranks below the city-wide average. This is typical for an older home in a central community compared to newer suburban developments, and often translates to a more accessible price point.

2. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated, but specifics on finish quality, ceiling height, legal egress, or moisture control are not provided. This is a key detail to verify during a viewing or inquiry.

3. Is the lot size a major advantage?
Yes. The lot is substantially larger than most on the street and in Glenwood. This offers more privacy, outdoor utility, and potential than is typical for homes in this price bracket, which is a significant long-term benefit.

4. The home was built in 1948. What should I be aware of?
While updated, the core structure is 78 years old. Prospective buyers should pay special attention to the condition of the foundation, original plumbing and electrical systems, and the roof during an inspection. Its age is older than most on the street.

5. Can I get the exact historical sale price?
Yes, but not automatically. The public data shows a sale in September 2017 for an estimated range. The exact, verified sale price is available by directly requesting it from the listing provider via email, which they provide as a manual, no-spam service.
