Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-and-a-half storey home in Glenwood presents a solid, above-average offering for its immediate area. Built in 1949, its key strength is generous living space: at 1,438 sqft, it ranks in the top 6% of homes on Handyside Avenue and the top 11% within Glenwood. This suggests a home that feels more spacious than many of its neighbours. It sits on a standard city lot of 4,777 sqft and features a renovated basement and a detached garage. The assessed value is consistent with the neighbourhood average, indicating a property that is fairly valued within its local market context.
The appeal lies in its established neighbourhood setting combined with its relative size advantage. It suits buyers looking for a character home with more interior room than is typical for the street, without a premium price far outside community norms. It’s a practical choice for someone who values space over a newer build, and the renovated basement adds functional flexibility. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home is older than the Winnipeg average, it is typical for its well-established community, offering the stability and mature streetscape that often accompanies older neighbourhoods.
