44 Macklin Avenue

Property Overview: 44 Macklin Avenue, Garden City, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This one-storey home, built in 1958, presents a practical opportunity in Winnipeg's Garden City neighborhood. Its key appeal lies in a combination of space and location. While the 1,050 sqft living area is modest for the immediate street and neighborhood, it is supported by a fully renovated basement, adding functional space. A significant standout is the large 6,048 sqft lot, which is well above average for Macklin Avenue and offers ample outdoor potential.

The home suits first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable, single-level layout with modernized fundamentals (noted in the basement renovation). It also appeals to value-conscious buyers who prioritize land size over interior square footage, seeing the generous yard as a canvas for gardens, play space, or future expansion. The detached garage adds utility for storage or vehicle parking. From a community perspective, its assessed value is consistently "around average" across all comparison levels, suggesting it's a fairly priced entry point into a stable area without immediate over-improvement concerns.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the living space compare to nearby homes?
The home's living area is below the average for both Macklin Avenue and the broader Garden City area. However, the renovated basement provides additional finished space, and the property compensates with a larger-than-average lot size.

2. What does the "Elite" ranking for Year Built mean?
On Macklin Avenue, this home is one of the older houses (built in 1958), ranking in the top 5%. This indicates most houses on the street are newer. It doesn't reflect the home's condition, but it is a notable characteristic of this specific property relative to its direct neighbors.

3. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the selling price?
The assessed value ($33.70k) is for municipal tax purposes and is typically much lower than market value. Market price is influenced by current conditions, the home's updated features, and its desirable lot size. The sold price history from 2018 is provided as a past reference point.

4. What are the implications of such a large lot?
The large lot (over 6,000 sqft) offers more privacy, yard space, and potential for outdoor living or gardening than many lots in the area. It's a long-term asset that could provide future options, though it also means a commitment to maintenance.
