Property Overview: 36 Hart Avenue, Glenelm, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home, built in 1913, presents a classic Glenelm character home with practical space and a strong value proposition. Its key appeal lies in its above-average living space (1,462 sq ft) for the immediate area and an assessed value that ranks in the elite tier for Hart Avenue, suggesting it may offer more house for the dollar compared to its direct neighbours. The home features a full, unrenovated basement and a detached garage.
Its strengths are nuanced. While the lot size is modest for the city, it is typical for the mature, established Glenelm neighbourhood, which often appeals to those seeking a walkable community with less yard maintenance. The home would suit a value-conscious buyer looking for a character property with solid square footage in a central location, who is either comfortable with a home of this vintage or sees potential in the basement for future projects. It’s less suited for those prioritizing a large outdoor space or a move-in-ready, fully modernized home.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "elite" assessed value ranking mean for this street?
It indicates this home’s municipal assessed value is among the top 3% on Hart Avenue. This often reflects a combination of its larger living area and the property’s overall condition relative to its immediate peers, not necessarily a recent renovation.
2. Is the unrenovated basement a major concern?
It represents both a consideration and potential. While it may lack modern finishes, it provides full, usable space for storage, utilities, and presents a clear opportunity for future customization to suit a buyer’s needs, adding potential value.
3. How does the lot size impact the property?
At just under 2,900 sq ft, the lot is smaller than the Winnipeg average but common for Glenelm. This typically means lower maintenance and a closer-knit street feel, but limits possibilities for large additions or extensive landscaping.
4. The home is over 110 years old. What should I be mindful of?
Prospective buyers should budget for and prioritize inspections focused on foundational integrity, roofing, wiring, and plumbing—key systems in a century-old home. Its age is typical for the neighbourhood’s charm.
