Key Characteristics & Appeal

With nearly 2,000 sqft of living space, it ranks in the top 11% for size on its street and in Garden City, offering more room than most comparable homes. Its most distinctive feature is the land: an 8,417 sqft lot that places it in the elite top 4% of the neighborhood for property size, providing significant outdoor space and potential.
The home’s appeal lies in this combination of above-average interior space on a much larger-than-average lot, a rare find in mature neighborhoods. It has a renovated basement, adding to its functional living area. The assessed value is strong for its immediate area and neighborhood, suggesting good value retention locally, though it is more average city-wide. This property would suit a buyer looking for a spacious family home with room to grow, garden, or entertain outdoors, without moving to the city's outskirts. It’s particularly well-suited for those who value private outdoor space and the established character of Garden City, and who see the 1960s-era build as a canvas for updates.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare practically?
At over 8,400 sqft, the lot is notably larger than the Garden City average of about 6,278 sqft. This translates to more backyard space for activities, gardening, or future additions like a shed or deck, setting it apart from neighboring properties.
2. What does the "above average" ranking for living area mean?
The home's living area of 1,987 sqft is larger than approximately 89% of similar homes in Garden City. You are getting significantly more interior space than is typical for the area, which is often reflected in room sizes and layout potential.
3. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the selling price?
The assessed value ($399,000) is for municipal tax purposes and is a historical snapshot. While it shows the home is valued highly within Garden City, market conditions, the home's specific condition, and recent renovations will ultimately determine the sale price.
4. What are the implications of a 4-level split design?
