Property Overview

This two-storey home in Bridgwater Trails offers a practical opportunity in a modern Winnipeg neighbourhood. Built in 2015, its key appeal lies in being a relatively newer home that presents a move-in-ready canvas. With nearly 1,900 sqft of living space on a generous 3,776 sqft lot, it provides solid room for a family. The home’s standout characteristic is its value proposition: it ranks in the top 12% of Winnipeg for living area size, meaning you get more interior space than most city homes, yet it sits in a more affordable tier of the Bridgwater market. The unrenovated basement is a notable feature—it’s a blank slate for future expansion, allowing a buyer to add value and customize the space to their needs.

The property would suit first-time buyers or young families looking for a modern community without the premium price of a brand-new build. It’s also a sensible fit for value-conscious buyers who prioritize indoor square footage and see potential in finishing a basement themselves. A less obvious perspective is that its middling rankings within its own immediate street suggest a more uniform, established streetscape, which can appeal to those seeking neighbourhood consistency over a standout lot.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the "unrenovated basement" mean?
It indicates the basement is unfinished or partially finished. It’s a functional space with core systems (like heating) but requires drywall, flooring, and design to become livable room(s). This is a key opportunity to add value and customize the home.

2. How does the assessed value relate to the likely selling price?
The assessed value ($47,600) is for municipal tax purposes and is typically much lower than market value. The last sale in 2020 was for $420,000, which is a more relevant historical benchmark, though current market conditions will determine the final price.

3. The rankings show it's "better than" a low percentage on its street. Is that a concern?
Not necessarily. These metrics compare specific data points like lot size or year built. For example, it ranks lower on the street for lot size because lots on the street are generally large. It simply means this property is more typical of the street, not an outlier, which can be positive for resale.

4. Is there a garage?
No, the listing specifies "Garage: None." Parking would be via driveway or on-street.

5. What is the Bridgwater Trails neighbourhood like?
It's a modern, master-planned community in south Winnipeg known for newer homes, parks, ponds, and walking trails. It’s popular with families and offers a suburban feel with contemporary amenities and home styles.
