Property Overview: 807 Barry Avenue, Mission Gardens, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 960 sqft bungalow, built in 1972, sits on a generous and above-average 4,998 sqft lot for its immediate Barry Avenue street. Its core appeal lies in its efficient, modestly-sized home paired with a substantial yard, offering a balance of manageable indoor living space and significant outdoor potential. The assessed value is notably consistent with its immediate neighbours, suggesting it fits comfortably within the local market context without being overvalued.
The property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for an entry point into homeownership with room to garden, expand, or simply enjoy more private outdoor space than is typical for the area. Its ranking as one of the newer homes on its block could imply fewer immediate concerns about aging core components compared to neighbours. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home's living area is below the city average, its lot size is relatively competitive city-wide, positioning it as a property where the land itself may hold a significant portion of the value and future opportunity.
