Property Overview: 8 Bluebell Avenue, Garden City, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-storey home, built in 1957, presents a practical opportunity in Winnipeg's Garden City neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in a combination of a renovated basement and a generously sized lot. With 1,055 sqft of living space, the house itself is modest and slightly below average in size for the immediate area, suggesting a cozy, manageable layout. The significant asset is the 6,045 sqft land parcel, which ranks well above average for the street and city-wide, offering ample outdoor space for gardening, play, or future expansion.
The home’s assessed value is notably strong for Bluebell Avenue, ranking in the top 21% on the street. This indicates that, relative to its neighbours, the property is viewed favorably in terms of its valuation. The renovated basement adds functional living space without the need for immediate investment.
This property would best suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a single-level living arrangement with minimal maintenance (no pool or garage) and a focus on outdoor space. It’s a grounded choice for someone prioritizing a large yard over a large house, and who values a home with some updates in a well-established neighbourhood.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the home’s size compare to the area?
At 1,055 sqft, the living area is somewhat cozier than the average home on Bluebell Avenue (~1,169 sqft) and in Garden City overall (~1,307 sqft). It offers efficient, single-level living.
2. What is the significance of the lot size?
The 6,045 sqft lot is a standout feature. It’s larger than most on the street and ranks in the top 30% city-wide, providing valuable outdoor space that is increasingly rare in older neighbourhoods.
3. The assessed value seems high for the street. Why?
The assessment ranks in the top 21% on Bluebell Avenue. This often reflects factors like the renovated basement, the desirable lot size, and the property’s overall condition compared to immediate neighbours.
4. Are there recent sale prices for similar homes on the street?
Nearby comparable homes (e.g., #9 and #37 Bluebell Ave, built 1956-57) sold in recent years. Exact historical sold prices for this address are available upon direct request from the listing service.
5. What are the practical implications of having no garage?
Buyers should plan for street parking or the potential cost of adding a driveway or parking structure. The large lot does provide space for such an addition, subject to local bylaws.
