Property Overview: 49 Hart Avenue, Glenelm, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Buyer Appeal
This one-and-a-half storey home, built in 1914, presents a classic Glenelm character home with practical potential. Its key appeal lies in a combination of established neighbourhood charm and a standout lot size. At 916 sqft, the living space is modest and typical for the street, but the 3,999 sqft land parcel is notably larger than most in the immediate area, ranking in the top 3% on Hart Avenue. This offers valuable outdoor space and future flexibility. The home features a basement (not renovated) and a detached garage.
The property suits a specific buyer: someone seeking an entry point into a well-regarded, mature neighbourhood who values land size over immediate move-in readiness. It’s a candidate for a gradual live-in renovation or holds potential for expansion (subject to approvals). The assessed value is healthy for the street, suggesting the property is viewed favorably relative to its peers. This isn’t a modern, turn-key home; its appeal is for the buyer who sees the foundation—both literally and in terms of lot value—in a solid, older home.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the house in need of major updates?
Based on the notation that the basement is "not renovated," and the home's age, buyers should anticipate a property that likely requires modernization and maintenance consistent with a 110-year-old house. The condition of major systems (roof, wiring, plumbing) should be a primary focus.
2. What makes the lot size significant?
With a land area of nearly 4,000 sqft, this lot is larger than 97% of those on Hart Avenue. This provides more private outdoor space than neighbours and could be a key asset for gardening, adding a deck, or future home additions, offering more options than a standard lot.
3. How does the assessed value compare?
The assessed value of $25,100 is above the average for Hart Avenue, indicating the municipal assessment sees relative value here, likely influenced by the larger lot. However, it's below the Winnipeg city-wide average, reflecting the home's smaller size and age compared to the broader market.
4. What is the neighbourhood of Glenelm like?
