Property Overview: 18 Merriwood Avenue, Garden City, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Buyer Appeal
This one-storey home, built in 1962, sits on a generous 6,378 sqft lot in Winnipeg's Garden City neighborhood. With 1,250 sqft of living space, it is a comfortably sized bungalow that features an attached garage and a renovated basement. Its assessed value is notably strong for the Garden City area, ranking well above the local average.
The primary appeal lies in its balance of space, location, and value. The lot size is a significant asset, offering above-average outdoor space for the city and neighborhood, which is ideal for gardening, recreation, or future expansion. The renovated basement adds functional living area without the need for immediate work. This property suits practical buyers looking for a solid, move-in-ready home with room to breathe, particularly first-time homeowners, small families, or downsizers who prefer single-level living but don't want to compromise on yard size. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home's living area is modest for its street, its above-average assessment in the neighborhood suggests it is well-maintained or has features that contribute to its value, offering a stable investment in a established community.
