Property Overview: 79 Woodcrest Drive, Garden City, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This one-storey home on a large, 8,452 sqft lot presents a solid opportunity in Winnipeg's Garden City neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in the substantial land size, which ranks in the top 4% of the area, offering ample outdoor space for gardening, play, or future expansion. The home itself, built in 1966, is newer than most on its street and in the immediate area, suggesting potentially fewer concerns related to the age of core components compared to neighbors. With 1,179 sqft of living space and a renovated basement, it offers functional, single-level living.

The property’s assessed value is notably high for its specific street and Garden City, placing it in the top 13% locally, which can indicate perceived value or desirability by the assessment authority. It would suit a buyer looking for a land-centric property—perhaps a young family valuing a large backyard, or a long-term owner who sees potential in the lot itself. It’s a practical choice for those who prioritize space and location over a large interior, as the living area is modest compared to the city average. The detached garage adds utility for storage or projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the assessed value so high compared to nearby homes?
The assessed value ranks in the top 4% on its own street and top 13% in Garden City. This typically reflects the property's above-average lot size, the renovated basement, and its relatively newer construction date for the area, as assessed by municipal authorities.

2. How does the lot size compare to a typical city lot?
The lot is 8,452 sqft, which is significantly larger than average. It ranks in the top 10% citywide and the top 4% within Garden City, offering about 35% more land than the average city lot.

3. Is the living space smaller than average?
Yes, at 1,179 sqft, the living area is slightly below the average for Garden City (~1,307 sqft) and the wider city. This emphasizes that the property's strengths are its land and lot value rather than its interior square footage.

4. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms a renovated basement but does not specify the scope. A professional inspection or inquiry with the seller is recommended to determine the finish quality, permits, and the nature of the renovations (e.g., cosmetic, structural, moisture management).
