Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This one-storey home at 28 Bluebell Avenue in Winnipeg's Garden City neighbourhood presents a practical and spacious offering. Its primary appeal lies in its generous proportions, both indoors and out. With 1,608 sqft of living space, it ranks in the top 3% of homes on its own street for size, offering significantly more room than area averages. This is complemented by a large 6,441 sqft lot, which also places it in the elite tier on Bluebell Avenue. The home features a renovated basement and an attached garage, and was built in 1957.

The property suits buyers looking for single-level living with ample space for a growing family, hobbies, or simply room to breathe. Its above-average dimensions on a quiet street suggest a good balance of privacy and community. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home's assessed value is around the city average, you are acquiring a property that outperforms most local peers in terms of sheer living and land area, which can be a strategic foundation for future value. It would particularly suit a buyer who prioritizes interior and yard space over a newer build date, and who appreciates the established character of Garden City.
