Property Overview: 38 Ashbury Bay, Garden City, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This one-storey home in Garden City is defined by its substantial and private outdoor space. The standout feature is the large 8,234 sqft lot, which ranks in the top 5% of the neighborhood for land area, offering significant potential for gardening, expansion, or simply enjoying a generous yard. The home itself, built in 1961, is of a typical size for the area at 1,275 sqft and includes a renovated basement. A detached garage provides flexible storage or workshop space.
The appeal lies in a combination of established community and rare lot size. While the house is comparable to its neighbors, the property’s above-average assessed value suggests well-maintained or updated interiors. It suits buyers looking for a solid, no-fuss bungalow layout with a blank-canvas backyard in a mature area. It’s particularly ideal for those who value privacy and outdoor room over a brand-new build, or for future-minded owners who see the value in land that could accommodate additions or secondary suites (subject to zoning).
