Property Overview: 60 Guay Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home in Glenwood is defined by its generous proportions and established neighbourhood setting. Built in 1931, its key physical attributes are a renovated basement, a detached garage, and a notably large lot of over 5,500 sqft—a standout feature that places it in the top 14% of the neighbourhood for land size. With 1,432 sqft of living space, the home offers more room than most in its immediate area and Glenwood overall.

The appeal lies in a balance of space, location, and value. It’s a home for those who prioritize outdoor room for gardens, play, or future projects over a brand-new build. The lot size offers a rare sense of privacy and potential in a mature area. While the structure itself is older, the renovated basement adds modern utility. It suits practical buyers—growing families, or value-oriented purchasers—who see the merit in a character home on a substantial lot and are comfortable with the maintenance that comes with a house of this era. A thoughtful perspective is that this property represents a "land play" in a settled community; its value is anchored as much in its sizable parcel as in the house itself.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value relate to the likely selling price?
The assessed value of $330k is a municipal tax valuation. The last known sale was in 2020 for approximately $32.5k–$35.5k (reflecting a prior assessment). The current selling price will be determined by the market, but the assessment provides a baseline for understanding its standing relative to nearby homes.

2. What are the implications of the 1931 build date?
While the home has been maintained, a 95-year-old property means potential buyers should budget for ongoing upkeep and consider a thorough inspection. Older homes like this often have solid construction and charm but may need updates to mechanical systems like plumbing or wiring over time.

3. The lot is large for the area. What does that mean for me?
The 5,594 sqft lot is a significant asset. It provides more outdoor space than most neighbours, allowing for larger decks, gardens, or storage sheds. It could also offer future potential for additions, depending on local zoning bylaws.

4. How does this home compare to others on the street and in Glenwood?
The data shows this home is above average in living area and lot size for both Guay Avenue and the broader Glenwood neighbourhood. Its assessed value is around the average for the area, suggesting it is priced in line with community norms for its size and features.
