Property Summary: 244 Thorn Drive, Amber Trails, Winnipeg
Section 1: Overview & Appeal
This well-situated two-storey home in Amber Trails presents a compelling blend of space, modernity, and established neighbourhood character. Built in 2014, it offers the key advantage of being newer than over 90% of Winnipeg homes, suggesting modern construction standards and less immediate worry over major system replacements. With over 2,100 sqft of living space and a 5,000+ sqft lot, it provides ample room for family life. Its appeal lies in this solid foundation: a move-in ready structure in a mature, newer suburb where the streets and community are already well-established, avoiding the uncertainties of a brand-new development.
The home suits practical buyers looking for a lasting family base. It’s ideal for those who value space and a modern build but don’t want to manage a renovation project, as the basement is noted as unrenovated—offering potential for future customization. The data suggests it’s a strong, middle-of-the-pack property within its immediate street and Amber Trails, meaning it offers stability without the premium price tag of the area’s top-tier lots. A thoughtful perspective is that its recent 2023 sale price of $620k sits above its current assessed value, indicating a purchase in a hotter market; this may appeal to a buyer seeking a home whose recent market price is already validated, not just an assessment.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others in Amber Trails?
The home ranks in the top tiers for size and newness within the neighbourhood. It’s larger and newer than most homes in Amber Trails and all of Winnipeg, but its assessed value is comfortably in the middle range for the area, suggesting it’s a competitively priced option for its specs.
2. Is the basement finished?
No, the basement is not renovated. This presents both a cost-saving opportunity at purchase and the potential for future customization to add value and living space according to a new owner’s needs.
3. What does the lot size and ranking mean?
The lot is a generous 5,051 sqft, placing it in the top 20% for size on Thorn Drive. This means you’re getting more outdoor space than most direct neighbours, which is a significant advantage in a newer suburb.
4. Why was it sold recently in August 2023?
The property history shows a sale just last year. While the specific reason isn’t listed, such a quick turnaround can sometimes indicate a relocation or change in circumstance rather than an issue with the property, especially given the subsequent listing.
5. How does the assessed value relate to the asking price?
The current assessed value is $560k. It’s important to note that the home sold for $620k in mid-2023. This difference highlights that assessed value (for municipal taxes) and market value (what buyers are willing to pay) can diverge, especially based on recent sales trends and specific property features.
