Property Overview: 2 Nolana Street, Garden City, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-situated one-storey home in Garden City offers a practical and grounded opportunity. Its key appeal lies in a combination of above-average space and a generous, private lot. With 1,270 sqft of living space and a renovated basement, the home provides flexible room for a growing family or someone needing a home office or recreation space. The attached garage adds everyday convenience.
The standout feature is the land itself. At over 6,300 sqft, the lot is notably larger than most in the immediate area, ranking in the top 4% on its own street. This creates valuable outdoor space for gardening, play, or future additions. Built in 1961, the home is also one of the newer properties on the block, suggesting potentially fewer immediate concerns with aging infrastructure compared to neighbouring houses.
This property would suit a buyer looking for a solid, no-frills family home in a established neighbourhood, who values indoor-outdoor living space over a brand-new build. It’s also a sensible choice for a practical buyer who appreciates a home that stands out positively within its immediate context—offering more lot and a newer build date than its direct neighbours—while being priced in line with the wider market.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home truly compare to others nearby?
The data shows this home holds its advantages locally. It has a larger lot and is newer than almost all homes on Nolana Street. While its size and assessed value are more average when compared to all of Garden City or Winnipeg, its strong standing on its own street is a meaningful point of stability and potential value.
2. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope. This is a key detail to clarify with the selling agent to understand the finish quality, ceiling height, legal egress, and whether it includes a bathroom or kitchenette.
3. Is the lot size a potential advantage for future expansion?
The significantly larger-than-average lot could provide flexibility, whether for adding a deck, shed, or even an extension (subject to zoning bylaws and permits). It's a tangible asset that newer subdivisions often lack.
4. What is the likely maintenance picture for a 1961 home?
While newer than many on the street, a 65-year-old home will still require diligent upkeep. A pre-purchase inspection is essential to assess the condition of major systems like roof, plumbing, electrical, and foundation, which may be original or have been updated at various times.
