Property Overview: 258 Garton Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This bi-level home at 258 Garton Avenue in Inkster Gardens presents a practical and spacious offering. Its key characteristics include a renovated basement, a detached garage, and a rare feature for the area: a private pool. With 1,586 sqft of living space, the home is notably larger than most on its street and in the immediate neighborhood, providing above-average room for a growing family or those who value extra space. The lot size is also generous for the area at nearly 5,900 sqft, offering good outdoor potential.

The appeal lies in this combination of space, updates, and unique amenities within a value-conscious framework. It suits buyers looking for a move-in-ready home with recreational features already in place, without the premium price tag of newer subdivisions. A thoughtful perspective is that the 1984 build date places it in a sweet spot—old enough to be situated on a mature lot in an established community, yet modern enough to avoid the major maintenance concerns of much older properties. It would particularly suit first-time buyers stepping up from a condo or townhouse, or downsizers seeking single-level living (with the basement providing flexible space) who still want a private yard and pool for family visits.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value relate to the likely selling price?
The assessed value is for municipal tax purposes and is often lower than market value. The home’s last known sale was in 2020 for approximately $31.5k–$34.5k, but current market conditions will determine the final price.

2. What is the significance of the home’s ranking percentiles?
These rankings compare the home to others on the same street, in Inkster Gardens, and city-wide. They show this property consistently offers more living space and a larger lot than many local alternatives, which is a key advantage in this market.

3. Are there any concerns with a home built in 1984?
While major systems like the roof, windows, and furnace are likely not original, they may be nearing the end of their typical lifespan. A thorough inspection is recommended to budget for any upcoming updates.

4. What are the ongoing costs associated with the pool?
Beyond initial maintenance, consider seasonal opening/closing, increased insurance, higher water and chemical costs, and energy for pumping. Ensure you understand the pool’s construction type and equipment condition.

5. How does the detached garage affect winter use?
A detached garage is common but means you’ll need to go outside to access your vehicle in winter. For some, this is a minor inconvenience; for others, it’s a significant factor compared to an attached garage.
