Property Overview: 26 Gosford Avenue, Meadowood, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1973-built home in Meadowood presents a practical and balanced offering. With 1,077 sqft of living space, it stands out on its own street, offering more room than many of its immediate neighbors. The lot is a generous and fairly private 5,199 sqft, providing ample outdoor space for gardening, play, or relaxation.
The primary appeal lies in its established neighborhood setting and its relative value. The home's assessed value is consistently around the average for its local area, suggesting it is priced in line with the market without significant premium or discount. Recent sales history indicates stable value. It suits first-time homebuyers looking for a manageable, no-surprises entry into homeownership, or practical downsizers seeking a single-level living possibility (subject to confirming the layout) in a quiet area. It’s a property for those who prioritize a solid lot size and functional space over modern finishes, and who see potential in a home that is older but well-situated.
A less obvious perspective is that its "average" metrics across the board can be a strength—it represents a stable, known quantity in the market without the volatility or premium often attached to outlier properties. Its size advantage on Gosford Avenue itself means it likely feels more spacious than the immediate streetscape suggests.
