Property Overview
This one-storey home at 278 Garton Avenue in Winnipeg's Inkster Gardens neighbourhood presents a practical and straightforward living opportunity. Built in 1986, it is notably newer than many homes on its street and across the city. The 1,101 sqft living space is supported by a renovated basement, adding functional space, and the property sits on a standard-sized lot just under 5,000 sqft with a detached garage.
Its primary appeal lies in its relative modernity for the area and its position as a competitively assessed, mid-sized home. The data suggests it's a property that holds its own, particularly within its immediate locale—its assessed value ranks above average for Garton Avenue. The renovated basement is a clear functional advantage. This home would likely suit first-time buyers or practical-minded investors looking for a lower-maintenance, single-level layout in a well-established neighbourhood without the premium price tag of newer subdivisions. It’s a home that offers more contemporary foundations than many of its peers, which can be a subtle long-term benefit for maintenance and updates.
