Property Overview: 17 Mellish Avenue, Garden City, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-situated one-storey home in Garden City presents a practical and comfortable living proposition. Its key characteristics include 1,042 sqft of living space, a renovated basement, a detached garage, and a notably generous lot of nearly 6,000 sqft. Built in 1958, it is one of the older homes on its street, which often speaks to established neighborhoods and mature landscaping.

The appeal lies in its balance and potential. The home offers solid fundamentals: functional space, a updated basement adding usable square footage, and a lot size that stands out positively both on its street and within the wider city, providing valuable outdoor space or future expansion potential. Its assessed value positions it as a more accessible entry point within Garden City compared to area averages.

This property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable single-level layout in a stable neighborhood. It’s also a fit for value-oriented buyers who prioritize land size—a asset that’s increasingly scarce—over a newer or larger house, seeing the lot as a long-term advantage.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare to others in the immediate area?
The data shows this home has a larger-than-average lot for Mellish Avenue and is one of the older homes on the block. Its living area and assessed value are slightly below the current street averages, which can indicate a value opportunity in a well-located spot.

2. What is the significance of the renovated basement?
A renovated basement effectively adds usable living space to the home's footprint, which is a key asset for a 1,042 sqft main floor. It can serve as a family room, home office, or additional bedroom space, adding significant functionality.

3. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the likely selling price?
The assessed value of $320k is for municipal tax purposes. The last known sale was in mid-2022. Market conditions, the home’s condition, and buyer demand will determine the final price. It can serve as a baseline, but a current market evaluation is essential.

4. What are the practical benefits of a larger lot in this neighborhood?
Beyond privacy and space for recreation or gardening, a larger lot (5,971 sqft) is a permanent asset in a mature neighborhood where land is fixed. It offers potential for additions, a larger garage, or simply more outdoor living space than typical newer subdivisions.

5. Where can I find the exact historical sale prices?
The vendor provides an estimated sold price range from public data. To obtain the exact sale price from their records, you can use the email request form provided on the listing page for a manual, prompt response.
