Property Overview
This one-storey home at 812 Jefferson Avenue in Winnipeg's Garden City neighborhood presents a practical opportunity centered on its generous lot and recent updates. Its appeal lies in offering more outdoor space than most homes in the area, paired with a move-in-ready basement. The 1,140 sqft living area is efficiently sized and notably larger than many similar homes on its street. Built in 1958, it's a classic example of the area's housing stock, with a recently renovated lower level adding modern convenience. The detached garage and absence of a pool point to a low-maintenance, functional property.
It would suit a first-time buyer or a downsizer looking for a manageable single-level layout without sacrificing yard space. The large, above-average lot is a standout feature for gardeners, those seeking privacy, or anyone valuing room for outdoor activities or future expansion. The home's assessed value positions it as a more accessible entry point within Garden City, suggesting potential for those budget-conscious but wanting to enter a stable neighborhood.
