Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This two-storey home at 3 Thorn Drive in Amber Trails is a well-established property built in 2004, offering generous space and a renovated basement on a large lot. Its primary appeal lies in its above-average living area of over 2,100 sq ft, which ranks in the top quarter of its street and the top 17% of its neighbourhood, providing more interior room than many nearby homes. The fully renovated basement adds significant functional space. While the home itself is not the newest on the block, the lot size is substantial, and the property holds a strong assessed value that places it in the top third of Amber Trails and the top 9% city-wide, suggesting a solid, long-term investment in a desirable area.

This home would suit buyers looking for move-in ready space without paying a premium for a brand-new build. It’s ideal for a growing family that values larger indoor living areas and a big yard over having the newest construction. The strong assessment ranking also makes it a sensible choice for value-conscious buyers seeking a property with proven stability in the market.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the age of this home (built in 2004) compare to others in Amber Trails?
The home is older than many in the area, ranking in the top 28% on its street (meaning 72% of homes are newer). However, Amber Trails is a developed neighbourhood, so this is a typical home from its earlier phase, often meaning larger lots and mature landscaping.

2. The last sale was in 2019. Is the current price significantly higher?
Yes. The home sold for $343,200 in 2019 and is now assessed at $571,000. This increase reflects broader market trends and the value added by the basement renovation.

3. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify finishes or layout. This is a key detail to request, as it could range from a finished rec room to additional bedrooms or a legal suite.

4. How does the living space truly compare to nearby homes?
This home’s living area is a standout feature. At 2,124 sq ft, it is larger than most comparable homes in the immediate area, offering more room than many newer builds in Amber Trails.

5. The assessed value is strong, but what does that mean for property taxes?
A high assessment relative to Winnipeg generally means higher property taxes. However, its ranking within Amber Trails (top 67%) is more moderate, suggesting taxes are in line with similar, desirable properties in the neighbourhood rather than being an outlier.
