Property Overview: 40 Viola Street, Garden City, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 4-level split home, built in 1959, offers a practical and spacious layout in Winnipeg's Garden City neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in offering above-average space both inside and out. With 1,502 sqft of living area, it ranks in the top 24% on its own street and the top 17% in Garden City for size. More notably, the 7,820 sqft lot is substantially larger than most, placing in the top 7% of the neighborhood, providing excellent outdoor potential. The home features an attached garage and a renovated basement, adding to its functional, move-in-ready appeal.
The property suits buyers looking for a solid, no-fuss family home with room to grow, garden, or simply enjoy more privacy than a standard lot allows. Its assessed value is consistent with area averages, suggesting a fair market position. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home itself is of a common vintage and style for the area, its standout lot size is a lasting asset that isn't easily replicated, offering long-term value whether for recreation, expansion, or simply enjoying more green space than your neighbors.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the home's size compare to others nearby?
The living space is notably larger than many comparable homes, ranking in the top 17% within the Garden City area. You're getting more interior square footage than most properties in this market segment.
2. Is the lot size a significant feature?
Yes. The lot is a key advantage, placing in the top 7% for land area in Garden City. At nearly 7,820 sqft, it provides a much larger yard than is typical, which is a permanent and desirable feature.
3. What is the significance of the 'renovated basement'?
While specifics aren't listed, a renovated basement in a home of this era typically adds valuable finished living space, potentially for a family room, home office, or additional bedrooms, increasing the home's overall functionality.
4. How current are the property value figures?
The assessed value shown is for municipal tax purposes. The more current market indicator is the sold price history, which shows it last sold between $305,000 and $335,000 in September 2020. Exact sale prices can be requested directly from the listing source.
5. The home was built in 1959. What should I consider?
While the basement has been renovated, a home from this period will likely have original or aging core components, such as the roof, windows, or plumbing. A thorough inspection is recommended to understand the condition and any upcoming maintenance priorities, balanced against the value offered by the spacious layout and large lot.
