Property Overview: 80 Hart Avenue, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-and-three-quarter storey home in the Glenelm neighbourhood presents a compelling mix of character and practicality. Built in 1910, it offers 1,180 sqft of living space, which is typical for the area, on a standard city lot. A key feature is its renovated basement, adding functional living space, and it includes a detached garage.
The primary appeal lies in its strong positioning within its immediate community. While its size and age are average for Glenelm, its assessed value ranks significantly above average for both the street and the neighbourhood. This suggests it is viewed as a well-maintained or improved property among its peers. The recent sale history indicates steady value. It suits buyers looking for a character home in an established, central neighbourhood without the premium of newer, larger properties. It’s ideal for someone who appreciates a home with history and has perhaps been updated over time, and who values a strong relative value within a specific, sought-after locale over city-wide comparisons.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "above average" assessed value for the street actually mean?
It means that, compared to other homes on Hart Avenue and in Glenelm, the city’s assessment of this property’s value is in the top 20% or better. This often reflects renovations, desirable lot features, or superior condition relative to neighbouring homes of similar age and size.
2. The home is older than most in the city. Should I be concerned?
The data shows it’s actually typical for Glenelm, where homes from this era are common. This is standard for character neighbourhoods. The key consideration is the quality and age of major updates (like the noted basement renovation) and core systems (roof, wiring, plumbing), rather than the build year alone.
3. How does the lot size compare?
At 3,278 sqft, the lot is very standard for Glenelm and the street, but below the city-wide average. This is typical for older, central neighbourhoods and offers a manageable yard space.
4. The city-wide assessed value seems low. Why?
The "below average" city-wide ranking is misleading in this context. It compares this Glenelm home to all properties across Winnipeg, including new suburban houses and luxury estates with much higher valuations. The more relevant metrics are the strong rankings against its direct neighbours and neighbourhood, which better reflect its local market value.
5. Can I trust the sold price ranges shown?
The provided ranges are based on publicly available data. For precise historical sale figures, you must request the exact data via the provided email service. This is a common practice to ensure accuracy, as public records can sometimes be incomplete or categorized broadly.
