Property Overview: 588 Hartford Avenue, Garden City, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-situated one-storey home in Garden City presents a solid opportunity, particularly for its generous lot size and updated basement. With 1,196 sqft of living space, the house itself is above average for its immediate street but typical for the wider area. Its true standout feature is the land: at over 6,000 sqft, the lot is in the top 5% on Hartford Avenue, offering significant outdoor space and potential relative to nearby properties. The home benefits from a renovated basement and a detached garage.

The appeal lies in this combination of a sizable, private yard with move-in-ready fundamentals. It suits practical buyers looking for space to garden, entertain, or simply enjoy without the premium typically attached to such lots. It’s especially fitting for first-time homeowners, small families, or downsizers seeking single-level living in a mature neighbourhood. A thoughtful perspective is that the above-average assessed value for the street suggests the property is already recognized as a strong performer in its micro-market, which can be a stabilizing factor.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare practically?
The 6,047 sqft lot is notably larger than most on the street (ranking 11th out of 237). This means more privacy, room for additions like a shed or deck, and less feeling of being crowded by neighbours.

2. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope. Buyers should inquire about the finish quality, ceiling height, permits, and whether it includes a bathroom or secondary living space.

3. Is the price in line with the area?
Based on the last sold price range (2023) and current assessed value, the property sits in the top third of Garden City for assessment. This indicates it is valued higher than many area homes, likely reflecting its lot size and updates.

4. What is the neighbourhood like?
Garden City is a mature, established neighbourhood in Winnipeg. This specific street shows a mix of well-kept older homes, with this property being newer than the street average (built in 1964 vs. an average of 1955).

5. Are there any obvious concerns from the data?
The home is older, so standard inspections for foundations, roofing, and major systems are advisable. While the living area is adequate, buyers needing substantial above-ground square footage may find it modest compared to the lot size.
