Property Overview: 66 Thorn Drive, Amber Trails, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-situated home in the established Amber Trails neighbourhood offers a balanced package of space, location, and modern updates. Its key characteristic is a fully renovated basement, adding valuable finished living area to the 1,717 sqft main floor. Built in 2004, the property sits on a generous lot that ranks in the top 7% for size on its street, providing ample outdoor space.

The appeal lies in its strong positional metrics within a desirable community. The lot size, assessed value, and overall property rank highly compared to most immediate neighbours and the wider Winnipeg area, suggesting a solid investment in a mature setting. It suits practical buyers seeking a move-in-ready home with no basement project looming, young families attracted to Amber Trails' amenities and parks, and value-conscious purchasers who appreciate a home that outperforms many of its local and city-wide peers on key metrics without being the newest build on the block. A thoughtful perspective is that a home from this era often balances settled infrastructure with modernized interiors, avoiding the potential teething issues of brand-new construction while the renovated basement immediately expands usable space.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value compare to the last sale price?
The home was last sold in December 2022 for $56,500. The current assessed value is $51,800. It’s important to discuss current market conditions with your agent to understand this difference.

2. Is the house newer or older than most in the area?
Built in 2004, it is older than many comparable homes in Amber Trails, which often date from the 2010s. However, it ranks in the top 21% for age in the broader neighbourhood, meaning there are many older homes, and its key update (the basement renovation) addresses a major area of wear.

3. How does the living space compare to nearby homes?
At 1,717 sqft, the living area is competitively sized, larger than approximately 73% of homes on Thorn Drive. It is a mid-sized option within Amber Trails, suitable for those who don’t necessarily need the largest floor plan but want above-average space for their street.

4. What does the lot size ranking mean?
The lot of 4,958 sqft ranks in the top 7% on Thorn Drive. This means it is significantly larger than most lots on the same street, a valuable and unchangeable asset that provides more private outdoor space.

5. Are the property taxes likely to be high?
The assessed value is a key municipal input for calculating property taxes. While this home’s assessment is in the top 15% for Winnipeg, indicating above-average taxes, it is aligned with values in Amber Trails. Specific tax amounts should be verified.
