Property Overview: 174 Pilgrim Avenue, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-and-a-half storey home in Glenwood presents a practical opportunity, particularly for its generous 5,100 sqft lot—a standout feature that ranks well above average for both the street and the neighborhood. The home itself, built in 1949, offers 913 sqft of living space with a renovated basement and a detached garage, positioning it as a functionally solid, no-frills property.
Its primary appeal lies in its land value and location-based affordability. While the living space is modest and the assessed value is below the citywide average, it represents a chance to own a home with significant outdoor space in an established area without a premium price tag. This property would suit first-time buyers or practical investors who prioritize lot size over a large or modern interior. It’s a home for someone who sees potential in the yard for gardens, expansion, or simply extra space, and who is comfortable with the upkeep and character of a mid-century house. A less obvious perspective is that its "around average" metrics for the immediate area suggest it’s a stable, typical holding in Glenwood, unlikely to over- or under-perform dramatically compared to its closest neighbors.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the lot size unusual for this area?
Yes. The 5,100 sqft lot is significantly larger than many on Pilgrim Avenue and in the broader Glenwood area, ranking in the top 7% and 28% respectively. This is one of the property's most distinguishing features.
2. How does the home's size compare to others?
The 913 sqft living area is slightly below the average for Glenwood (~1,015 sqft) and more notably below the Winnipeg citywide average. It offers compact, efficient living space.
3. What is the likely condition given its age?
Built in 1949, the home is older than most in the city. While the basement has been renovated, a prospective buyer should budget for and inspect age-related maintenance typical of a house from this era, such as updates to windows, roofing, or mechanical systems.
4. How is the assessed value context?
The assessed value is around average for Glenwood but below the Winnipeg average. This often indicates a more affordable entry point into the city’s market, though property taxes will be based on this lower assessment.
