Property Overview: 42 Mercedes Drive, Amber Trails, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-situated 2003-built, one-storey home in the Amber Trails neighbourhood offers a practical, low-maintenance living format on a generous 6,234 sqft lot. Its key appeal lies in its established yet relatively modern age within a newer area of Winnipeg, providing a balance of mature landscaping and contemporary community planning. The home's assessed value ranks in the top 25% of its immediate neighbourhood, suggesting it is perceived as a solid asset in the area.
The property suits first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a single-level layout without a major renovation project, as the basement exists but is unrenovated. It also appeals to value-conscious buyers who prioritize lot size over extensive finished living space, as the land parcel is notably larger than many nearby properties. A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents a "middle ground" in Amber Trails—newer than many Winnipeg homes overall, but older than the newest builds on the street, which may offer a more settled setting while still benefiting from the area's modern infrastructure.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the property’s age compare to others nearby?
Built in 2003, this home is newer than approximately 82% of Winnipeg. However, on its own street and in Amber Trails, it ranks in the older third, as many neighbouring properties were built more recently in the 2010s.
2. Is the lot size a significant feature?
Yes. The 6,234 sqft lot size ranks in the top 17% on Mercedes Drive and the top 24% in Amber Trails, making it a larger-than-average parcel for the area, which is a key differentiator.
3. What does the assessed value tell me?
The $48,600 assessed value is higher than 80% of Winnipeg properties, indicating strong official valuation for tax purposes. It sits comfortably in the middle range for Amber Trails, aligning with similar-sized homes in established city neighbourhoods like Elmhurst.
4. The home last sold in 2016. What does that history suggest?
The 2016 sale price of $38,300, compared to the current assessed value, indicates a period of significant equity growth over eight years. This stability suggests a well-maintained property in a desirable area.
5. Who might this property not suit?
Buyers seeking a fully finished basement for additional living space or a brand-new, turn-key modern build may need to budget for renovations or look at newer listings. The home’s living area (1,408 sqft) is also modest compared to some newer two-storey models in the area.
