Property Overview
129 Clonard Avenue is a modern, two-storey home in Winnipeg's Glenwood neighbourhood, built in 2025. Its primary appeal lies in offering a like-new, low-maintenance living experience in an established area. With 1,500 sqft of living space and a renovated basement, it provides ample room for a small family or couple. The home ranks significantly above average for its living area, assessed value, and newness compared to most homes on its street, in Glenwood, and across Winnipeg. However, its lot size is notably smaller than area norms. This creates a specific trade-off: you gain a modern, efficient interior without the upkeep of an older home, but with less outdoor space than typical for the community.
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer
This home’s standout feature is its condition and modernity. Being essentially brand new (built in 2025) in a neighbourhood where the average home was built in the 1950s means it likely has contemporary layouts, energy efficiency, and minimal immediate repair needs. The renovated basement adds functional living space. Its assessed value is in the top tier for the area, reflecting its newer construction and condition.
The appeal is for buyers prioritizing move-in readiness and modern comforts over a large yard. It suits first-time homeowners wanting to avoid renovation projects, downsizers seeking a manageable property without condo fees, or investors looking for a newer rental property in a stable neighbourhood. A thoughtful perspective is that this property represents the gradual renewal of established areas, offering a modern lifestyle while still contributing to the mature community feel of Glenwood.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the assessed value so much higher than the average for the street?
The assessed value reflects the home's very recent construction (2025) and its above-average living area. It is valued for its modern build quality and condition, unlike the majority of older, smaller homes on the street.
2. What does "renovated basement" mean for a house built in 2025?
This typically indicates the basement was fully finished as part of the original construction or immediately thereafter, making it a completed, livable space from the start, not a later renovation of an old basement.
3. The lot size seems small. What are the implications?
The land area is compact compared to neighbouring properties. This means lower yard maintenance but less private outdoor space. It’s important to consider if the layout and any outdoor areas meet your needs for recreation, gardening, or entertaining.
4. Is there parking or a garage?
The listing specifies no garage. Parking would be limited to driveway space (if present) and on-street parking. Prospective buyers should verify the exact parking situation during a viewing.
5. How can I find out the exact historical sale price?
The exact sold price is not publicly displayed. As noted on the detail page, you can request it by email from the listing service. They provide this data manually and state they do not use email addresses for unsolicited marketing.
