Property Summary: 236 Thorn Drive, Amber Trails

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 2014 bi-level home in Amber Trails presents a practical and modern living option. Its key characteristic is being a well-maintained, newer build (ranking in the top 9% for age in Winnipeg) on a good-sized lot over 5,000 sq ft. The home features a renovated basement and an attached garage. While its 1,255 sq ft living area is compact compared to some neighbours, this contributes to its efficiency and easier upkeep.

The appeal lies in its balance of contemporary foundations and a low-maintenance footprint. It suits first-time buyers seeking a move-in-ready home without the concerns of an older property, or downsizers looking for modern comforts on a single level with a finished lower space. The strong rankings for lot size and year built in the immediate area suggest it holds a desirable position on its street. A thoughtful perspective is its recent sale history; the price increased steadily from 2016 to 2024, indicating stable value in a mature, established neighbourhood.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the living space sufficient for a growing family?
The 1,255 sq ft layout is functional, but families should consider their long-term needs. The bi-level design and renovated basement can offer good separation of living and sleeping areas, making the most of the square footage.

2. How does the assessed value compare to the likely asking price?
The current assessed value is $54,100. The home last sold in September 2024 for $58,800. This recent sale price is a more accurate indicator of current market value than the assessment.

3. What are the property taxes like?
Property taxes would be based on the City of Winnipeg’s mill rate applied to the assessed value of $54,100. You can estimate taxes using the current mill rate for a clear monthly budget picture.

4. The lot is larger than average. What are the implications?
The 5,051 sq ft lot (top 20% on the street) offers excellent outdoor space for gardening, play, or entertaining. Buyers should weigh this benefit against the associated maintenance, such as lawn care and snow clearing.

5. How does this home fit within the Amber Trails neighbourhood?
This home is a newer construction in a neighbourhood with a mix of house ages. It offers modern amenities while being part of a well-established community with mature infrastructure, which can be a best-of-both-worlds scenario for many buyers.
