Highlights & common questions: 38 Desna Place, Winnipeg

Property Overview

38 Desna Place is a well-maintained two-storey home in the Amber Trails neighbourhood, built in 2005. Its key appeal lies in its balance of established maturity and modern updates, situated on a spacious lot. The home features 1,908 sqft of living space and a renovated basement, complemented by an attached garage.

This property suits buyers looking for a move-in-ready home in a settled community who value space and privacy. It’s ideal for growing families seeking a functional layout and a large yard, or for professionals wanting a quiet retreat without sacrificing modern comforts. A thoughtful perspective is its position as one of the older homes on its street (top 3% for year built), which often translates to more mature landscaping and established tree canopies compared to newer constructions nearby. While its living area is comfortably sized, it is notably smaller than several newer comparables in Amber Trails, suggesting a focus on efficient use of space rather than sheer square footage.

Key Details & FAQs

  • Type & Space: A two-storey home with 1,908 sqft of living space, an attached garage, and a renovated basement on a large 5,424 sqft lot.
  • Location & Context: Located in the family-friendly Amber Trails neighbourhood. The home is on a quiet street and is one of the older properties on its block (built 2005), offering a settled feel amidst newer developments.
  • Value Proposition: The home presents a balanced offering: it is not the largest or newest in the area, but it provides substantial lot size, recent updates like the basement renovation, and a stable assessment history. Its appeal is for those prioritizing outdoor space and a turn-key condition over having the absolute newest build.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare to others in Amber Trails?
It is an established home in a neighbourhood with many newer builds. While its living area is slightly below the average for newer Amber Trails listings, it compensates with a larger-than-average lot and the value of a renovated basement.

2. What is the significance of the assessed value history?
The assessed value has remained stable and consistent with recent sale prices in the area. The 2021 sale at $54k aligns closely with the current $55.5k assessment, suggesting the market value is well-anchored without dramatic fluctuation.

3. Is the lot size a major advantage?
Yes. At over 5,400 sqft, the lot is a standout feature, offering more private outdoor space than many newer properties. This is a key differentiator for buyers valuing yard space for play, gardening, or entertainment.

4. The home was built in 2005. What should I consider?
As a home approaching 20 years, major components like the roof, HVAC, and windows should be evaluated for their age and condition. However, its age also means potential issues common in brand-new builds have likely been resolved.

5. Who might this home not suit?
Buyers seeking a brand-new, modern layout with the latest open-concept designs or maximum square footage indoors may find newer builds in the area more aligned. It’s best for those who value lot size and established character over being the first owner.
