Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This two-storey home in Bridgwater Lakes is a modern, low-maintenance property built in 2017. Its primary appeal lies in its balance of newer construction and established community. With a 2,025 sqft living area on a 6,378 sqft lot, it offers suburban space without excessive yard work. The home features an attached garage and an unfinished basement, presenting a blank canvas for future customization.

The property’s strength is its consistent ranking above average in key metrics. It sits in the top quarter of Winnipeg for assessed value and is newer than 94% of homes citywide, suggesting solid build quality and lower immediate repair costs. Its lot size is also larger than most in the city. While the interior space is average for its immediate street, it remains spacious by broader Winnipeg standards. This profile suits first-time move-up buyers seeking a modern home in a developed neighbourhood, or professionals wanting a turnkey property with the potential to add value through a basement finish. It’s less suited for those seeking a fully renovated, move-in-ready basement or a vast, private estate lot.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the basement suitable for finishing?
Yes, the basement is described as "not renovated," meaning it is unfinished. This is a key opportunity for a buyer to add living space and value according to their own needs and timeline.

2. How does the 2020 sale price compare to the current assessment?
The home sold for $52,800 in September 2020 and now has an assessed value of $67,200. This increase reflects market trends and the home’s relative newness, but the final market price will be determined by current conditions.

3. What does the "rank by area" statistic mean for the lot?
The lot is 6,378 sqft, which is larger than 76% of properties in Winnipeg, placing it in the top quarter citywide. On its specific street, it's better than 78% of lots, indicating it is a above-average sized lot for the area.

4. The home is newer than most, but what might need attention soon?
While major components like the roof and furnace are likely in good shape, being 9 years old means standard maintenance items (e.g., paint, appliance servicing, deck staining) should be evaluated as part of a routine home inspection.

5. How established is the neighbourhood?
Built in 2017, the home is on a street where 96% of properties are older. This suggests the immediate area is well-established with mature landscaping, unlike a brand-new subdivision where construction may still be ongoing.
