Property Overview: 848 Garwood Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a compact, one-storey home in Winnipeg's Earl Grey neighbourhood, built in 1931. Its key characteristic is its modest scale, with a living area of 571 sqft, which is notably smaller than most homes on its street, in the area, and across the city. The home sits on a standard city lot of approximately 2,531 sqft and features a renovated basement. There is no garage or pool.

The primary appeal lies in its affordability and location within a well-established community, as reflected by its assessed value being significantly below area averages. This presents a rare lower-cost entry point into the Earl Grey area. It would suit a first-time buyer, an investor, or someone looking to downsize who prioritizes location over square footage. The renovated basement adds functional living space, which is a crucial asset in a smaller main-floor footprint. A thoughtful perspective for a buyer is to see this not just as a small house, but as a efficient and manageable footprint in a desirable neighbourhood, where the value is in the land and community more than in the structure itself. It's a practical choice for those comfortable with a cozy layout and who may view the property as a long-term hold in a stable area.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the house actually as small as the numbers suggest?
Yes. At 571 sqft of living area, it is among the smallest homes in Earl Grey. The renovated basement does provide additional usable space, but the main-floor living area is compact.

2. Why is the assessed value so much lower than nearby homes?
The assessed value is primarily a reflection of the home's very small size and older age compared to area averages. It is assessed in line with its physical characteristics, not the general land value of the neighbourhood.

3. What is the Earl Grey neighbourhood like?
Earl Grey is a central, established residential neighbourhood in Winnipeg. It is known for its community feel, mature trees, and proximity to schools, parks, and amenities like Corydon Avenue.

4. Was the basement renovation permitted?
This information is not provided in the available data. A buyer must investigate this directly with the seller and, if necessary, the city to confirm that all renovations were completed with the proper permits.

5. How does the lack of a garage affect parking?
The property has no garage. Parking would be limited to on-street, which is typical for many older homes in the area. It's important to check local street parking regulations for any restrictions.
