Property Summary: 58 Avondale Road, Glenwood, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 832 sqft one-storey home, built in 1952, presents a classic Glenwood bungalow on a generous 5,101 sqft lot. Its primary appeal lies in its strong value proposition within a well-established neighbourhood. While the living area is modest and below average for the immediate street, the property compensates with an above-average assessed value and a larger-than-typical lot for the area, suggesting underlying value in the land and potential. The home features a renovated basement and a detached garage.

This property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking an entry point into a mature neighbourhood, where the land itself is a significant asset. It’s also a practical fit for buyers comfortable with a smaller main-floor footprint who value the flexibility a renovated basement and a sizable yard provide for future expansion, gardening, or outdoor living. A thoughtful perspective is that this home outperforms most of its direct neighbours in assessed value, which can indicate better maintenance, updates, or a more desirable lot configuration, offering a relative advantage on a street of similar vintage homes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the house small for the neighbourhood?
Yes, at 832 sqft, the living area is below the average for both Avondale Road and the wider city. However, the renovated basement adds functional space, and the lot size is notably larger than many in Glenwood.

2. What does the "above average" assessed value on the street indicate?
With an assessed value ranking in the top 20% on Avondale Road, it suggests the municipal assessment views this property more favourably than most on the block. This often reflects factors like the renovated basement, lot size, and overall condition compared to immediate peers.

3. How old is the home, and what might that mean?
Built in 1952, the home is typical for the area. Buyers should budget for age-related maintenance common to houses of this era, such as potential updates to original plumbing, electrical, or windows, while also appreciating the character and established landscaping of an older property.

4. What is the potential here for a future addition?
The combination of a smaller main-floor footprint and a large lot creates one of the property's key opportunities. Subject to zoning and permits, there may be potential to expand the living space in the future, a valuable option not always available on standard-sized lots.
