Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This two-storey home at 79 Tessler Bay in Amber Trails presents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking space, modern updates, and established community living. Built in 2006, it sits on a generous 11,475 sqft lot, which is notably larger than most in its immediate area and across Winnipeg. The 2,564 sqft living area is also well above average, offering ample room for a growing family.

Its primary appeal lies in the combination of a renovated basement, an in-ground pool, and an attached garage—features that provide immediate move-in readiness and summer recreation. The home’s assessed value ranks in the top tier for the neighbourhood, suggesting it is a substantial and well-regarded property within Amber Trails.

This home would best suit a family looking for a long-term residence that balances privacy on a large lot with the convenience of community amenities. It’s also a strong fit for buyers who value having recreational features already in place and want to avoid the hassle and cost of major renovations or landscaping projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare practically?
At nearly a quarter-acre, the lot is significantly larger than many newer properties. This offers more privacy, space for gardening, play, or future additions like a shed or expanded deck, which can be rare in suburban neighbourhoods.

2. The home was last sold in 2016. What does that indicate?
The seven-year ownership period suggests the sellers have likely maintained and invested in the property during their tenure, as evidenced by the renovated basement. This stability can be preferable to a property with very frequent turnover.

3. Are there any considerations with a pool in Winnipeg’s climate?
While a major summer asset, a pool requires specific maintenance and insurance considerations for our short season. Prospective buyers should budget for opening/closing services, ongoing upkeep, and safety compliance.

4. The home is older than some nearby comparables. Is that a concern?
Built in 2006, the home is from the early years of the Amber Trails development. This often means more mature trees and landscaping. While systems like the roof or HVAC may be closer to needing replacement than a brand-new home, the renovated basement helps modernize the living space.

5. What does the high assessed value ranking mean?
Ranking in the top 2% of the neighbourhood for assessed value indicates the municipal assessment views this as one of the more substantial properties in Amber Trails. This generally reflects its size, features, and condition, but it’s important to note that assessed value is not the same as market value.
