Highlights & common questions: 31 Verbena Street, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This 4-level split home in Garden City offers a practical layout with an attached garage and a full, unrenovated basement on a spacious lot. Built in 1961, its key appeal lies in its above-average living space (1,442 sq ft) compared to the immediate neighborhood, paired with a below-average assessed value for the area. This creates a value proposition where you get more interior room for the dollar on Verbena Street than many neighbors. The lot size is also a standout feature, larger than most in the city.

It would suit a buyer looking for a solid starter home or a long-term residence with room to grow and personalize over time, especially one willing to take on future basement updates. The numbers suggest it's a home with more inherent space than flash, ideal for those who prioritize square footage and yard size over a modern, turn-key condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the assessed value tell me about the property tax?
The assessed value is used to calculate property taxes. While this home's assessment is below the average for Garden City, it's close to the citywide average. You should request the exact current annual tax amount from the listing agent for an accurate monthly cost estimate.

Is the unrenovated basement finished or unfinished?
The details specify the basement is "not renovated." This typically means it is unfinished or partially finished in its original state, presenting both a blank canvas for customization and a potential future project.

How significant is the living area being in the "Top 15%" on the street?
This means the home has more living space than 85% of the 34 comparable homes on Verbena Street. For the neighborhood, it's in the top 20%. This is a strong point for the property, indicating more room than most direct competitors.

The last sold price range seems low. What does that indicate?
The sold price from 2019 (shown as a range) is a historical data point and reflects the market conditions at that time. It should not be used as a direct indicator of current value. Market dynamics have likely shifted significantly since then.

What are the pros and cons of a 4-level split layout?
Pros often include defined separation of living and sleeping areas, potentially offering good privacy. Cons can involve navigating multiple short flights of stairs, which may not suit everyone. The flow and room sizes can vary greatly in these designs, so a personal viewing is essential.
