Property Overview: 34 Glen Avenue, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home on Glen Avenue in Norberry stands out for its generous proportions, both in the house itself and the land it occupies. With 2,498 square feet of living space, it ranks in the top 1-3% compared to similar homes in its immediate area and across Winnipeg, offering significantly more room than the local average. The lot is also substantial at over 9,000 square feet, placing it well above average for the city. Built in 1949, the home is of a typical vintage for the street and neighbourhood.

The primary appeal lies in this combination of abundant interior space and a large, private yard—a rare find within the city. The assessed value of $481k reflects its premium standing on its street and in Norberry. This property would perfectly suit buyers who prioritize space for a growing family, home-based work, or hobbies over a newer build. It’s ideal for those looking for a established home in a mature neighbourhood with room to grow, garden, or entertain, and who may see the classic 1940s structure as a canvas for updates that suit modern living.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the sold price range compare to the assessed value?
The home sold for between $400,000 and $450,000 in October 2024. This sold price is below the current assessed value of $481,000, which may reflect market conditions at the time of sale or the specific circumstances of the transaction.

2. Is the larger lot size a benefit for future expansion?
Potentially, yes. The lot is significantly larger than most in Winnipeg. This not only provides more outdoor privacy and space but could also offer flexibility for future additions like a garage, workshop, or garden suite, subject to local zoning bylaws.

3. As a 1949 home, what should I budget for maintenance or updates?
While the age is typical for the area, a home of this vintage will likely require a proactive maintenance plan. Buyers should budget for potential updates to major systems like plumbing, electrical, or the roof, and consider the energy efficiency of original windows and insulation.

4. The living area is much larger than neighbours'. What does that mean practically?
This indicates the home may have been expanded over time or was originally built as a more substantial model. It’s a significant advantage for living comfort, but it also means heating/cooling costs and property taxes are aligned with a larger, higher-value home rather than the neighbourhood average.
