Property Overview
This one-storey home at 41 Cherryhill Road in Winnipeg's Garden City neighbourhood presents a compelling blend of space, location, and value. Its primary appeal lies in its exceptionally large lot—over 11,800 square feet—which ranks in the top 1-4% of properties across the immediate street, neighbourhood, and city. This offers rare potential for gardening, expansion, or simply enjoying generous outdoor space. The living area is comfortably above average for the area, and the home benefits from a renovated basement and an attached garage.
The property is particularly well-suited to buyers seeking a long-term family home where the land itself is a major asset, or to those with future renovation or addition plans. It also appeals to value-conscious buyers looking in Garden City, as the home's assessed value is notably higher than many neighbours, suggesting above-average investment in the structure or its condition. A less obvious point is its appeal to those who prefer established, tree-lined communities; being built in 1957, it sits on a mature street where the home's footprint allows it to feel more private than many newer, denser lots.
