Property Overview: 796 Jefferson Avenue, Garden City, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This one-storey home on Jefferson Avenue is a practical property that stands out for its generous, above-average land size. With 6,323 sqft, the lot is notably larger than most in the immediate area and across Garden City, offering valuable outdoor space and potential. The house itself, built in 1958, is of average size for the street at 1,059 sqft and features a renovated basement, adding functional living space. There is no garage or pool.

The appeal here is grounded in space and value. The lot size is a significant asset in a mature neighbourhood, providing room for gardening, play, or future expansion. The renovated basement adds immediate utility without the need for a major project. Its assessed value is strong for the street, suggesting the property is well-regarded relative to its direct peers.

This home would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable, single-level layout in a established community. It’s also a sensible fit for a value-conscious buyer who prioritizes land over a large interior footprint, seeing the lot as a long-term asset.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare to nearby properties?
The land area of 6,323 sqft is well above average for both Jefferson Avenue and the broader Garden City area, placing it in the top 9% and 30% respectively. This is one of the property's most distinguishing features.

2. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the finishes or layout. This is a key detail to clarify with the seller or agent to understand the quality and functionality of the space.

3. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the likely selling price?
The assessed value ($34.10k) is a municipal valuation for tax purposes and is typically much lower than market value. Recent sold price history (e.g., ~$32.5-35.5k in 2021) suggests the market value may be closer to that range, but current conditions will be the ultimate driver.

4. What are the implications of having no garage?
Parking will be limited to driveway or street. This affects convenience, storage, and vehicle protection in winter. The large lot, however, may offer space to add a garage or shed in the future, subject to local bylaws.

5. How does the home's age affect maintenance?
Built in 1958, the home is of average age for the area. Buyers should budget for expected maintenance and updates common to houses of this era, such as roofing, windows, or major systems. A thorough inspection is advised.
