Property Overview: 256 Glenway Avenue, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1978-built home on a large 9,155 sqft lot offers substantial space, with its 2,067 sqft living area ranking in the top 4% on its own street. Its appeal lies in a balanced offering of above-average roominess and land size within a mature River East neighborhood. The assessed value of $449k is consistently above average at the street, neighborhood, and city-wide levels, suggesting a solid, established presence in the market.
The property would suit buyers looking for a spacious family home with a generous yard, who value established communities over newer subdivisions. It’s particularly compelling for those who appreciate a home that stands out in its immediate vicinity for lot size and living space, while still being in line with the area’s character. A thoughtful perspective is that its "around average" year of build for the area means major components may be due for updates, offering value to buyers willing to invest in modernization.
