Highlights & common questions: 29 Mellish Avenue, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This one-storey home at 29 Mellish Avenue in Garden City is a practical and affordable entry point into the Winnipeg market. Built in 1958, its key appeal lies in its recent basement renovation and its position as a value-conscious option. With 1,048 sqft of living space and a 5,147 sqft lot, the home sits around the city-wide average for size but stands out for its below-average assessed value within its immediate neighbourhood and Garden City area. This suggests a potential opportunity for buyers comfortable with a home of vintage character. The lack of a garage and the home's ranking as one of the older properties on its street are factors to consider. It would suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors looking for a straightforward, renovated canvas in a well-established area without a premium price tag. A thoughtful perspective is that its lower assessment compared to nearby averages could provide relative property tax savings, while its mature location offers settled greenery and community character often missing in newer subdivisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the "below average" assessed value ranking mean for me?
It indicates the city's assessment of this property is lower than most homes in Garden City and on Mellish Avenue. This often translates to lower property taxes, which is a tangible ongoing cost saving. It doesn't necessarily reflect the final sale price, which is determined by the market.

Is the renovated basement a legal suite?
The listing notes a renovated basement but does not specify it as a legal secondary suite. Buyers should verify its compliance with local zoning and building codes if considering rental income, as this would require proper permits, egress, and separate utilities.

How should I interpret the sold price history shown?
The listed sold price range is an estimate from public data. For the exact sale price, you must request it directly via the provided email service. This is a common practice to ensure data accuracy and compliance with local real estate regulations.

What are the implications of the home's age (1958) and lack of a garage?
The age means core systems like plumbing, electrical, and the roof may be at or beyond their typical lifespan, so a thorough inspection is crucial. The lack of a garage means factoring in the cost and space for driveway parking or potential future shed/garage addition, subject to local bylaws.

The home ranks as "above average" in year built on its street. What does that signify?
This means it is one of the newer homes on Mellish Avenue, where many houses are older (the street average is also 1958). This can be a slight positive, potentially indicating somewhat newer materials or construction practices compared to immediate neighbours, though it remains a mid-century build.
