Property Overview
This one-storey home at 13 Richardson Avenue in Winnipeg's Garden City neighbourhood presents a compelling blend of space, value, and established character. Its key appeal lies in its strong positioning relative to its immediate surroundings, offering more for less in a direct comparison with neighbouring homes.
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer
The home's primary strengths are its generous proportions and notable value. With 1,216 sqft of living space, it sits in the top 10% for size on its own street, offering more room than most direct neighbours. This is complemented by an above-average land area of over 6,600 sqft, providing ample outdoor space—a relative rarity. The renovated basement adds functional living space. While a 1959 build is not new, its age is actually an asset on Richardson Avenue, ranking it among the newer homes on the street.
Its assessed value of $41.3k is the highest on the street (top 3%), yet remains above average for the wider Garden City area. This suggests the property is a standout on its block, potentially offering better finishes, condition, or lot appeal than nearby homes. The detached garage adds practical utility.
This property would suit a value-conscious buyer looking for a spacious home and yard in a mature neighbourhood, particularly someone who appreciates a home that stands out positively in its immediate context. It’s ideal for those who want more interior and exterior space without moving to a newer, more sprawling suburb, and for an owner who sees the benefit in a property that already leads its local market in assessed value.
