Property Overview: 153 Stranmillis Avenue, Glenwood
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home, built in 2012, offers modern living in Winnipeg's Glenwood neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in its above-average size and contemporary build compared to most homes on its street and in the local area. With 1,393 sqft of living space, it ranks in the top 14% on Stranmillis Avenue for size. The home is also notably newer than most in its surroundings, which often means fewer immediate concerns about aging components like roofs or major systems.
The property suits buyers looking for a move-in-ready, modern home without the premium of a brand-new build. Its above-average assessed value for the street suggests it is a standout property in its immediate context. However, the lot size is smaller than average for the area, which may appeal to those seeking lower outdoor maintenance but could be a consideration for buyers wanting extensive yard space. The detached garage and unrenovated basement present clear opportunities for future customization.
This home would be an excellent fit for a young family or professional couple who values modern interior space over a large garden, and who appreciates owning one of the more recent constructions in an established neighborhood.

2. What should I know about the lot size?

4. What does "basement not renovated" imply?
The basement is finished but has not been recently updated. It presents a blank canvas for future finishing or renovation to suit a new owner's needs, without the urgency of an unfinished space.
5. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of its market price?
The assessed value ($39.40k) is a municipal valuation for tax purposes and is above average for the immediate area. It can be a useful benchmark, but market price is determined by current buyer demand, condition, and comparable recent sales, not assessment alone.
