Property Overview: 53 Lopuck Bay, Canterbury Park

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home, built in 2006, sits on a generous 5,321 sqft lot in Canterbury Park. Its primary appeal lies in offering above-average space and modern construction within a well-established neighbourhood. With 1,902 sqft of living space, it provides more room than most homes on its street and across Winnipeg. A key feature is the renovated basement, adding immediate functional space without the need for a major project.

The home’s standout characteristic is its context. While its living area and lot size are notably above average for the immediate area, its year of construction is a particular strength—it’s one of the newest homes on Lopuck Bay. This combination suggests a property that delivers newer-home amenities on a larger-than-typical lot for its street, a balance that can be hard to find.

This property would suit buyers looking for a move-in-ready home with room to grow, who value a neighbourhood with mature infrastructure but prefer the build quality and systems of a 21st-century home. It’s also a practical fit for those who want the benefits of a finished basement from day one. The attached garage and spacious lot add to its practicality for small families or professionals seeking a balance of indoor and outdoor space without extreme maintenance.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare to others in the area?
The data shows it ranks highly for its living space, lot size, and notably its year built compared to its direct neighbours. It offers more interior space and a newer construction than most comparable homes on Lopuck Bay and in Canterbury Park.

2. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the likely sale price?
The current assessed value is $51.60k. It’s important to note the home last sold in August 2020 for $43.50k. The assessed value is for municipal tax purposes; market conditions, property updates, and buyer demand will determine the final sale price.

3. What does the "renovated basement" entail?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated, but the specific scope, quality, and permits for this work should be verified through a viewing and by requesting any available documentation from the seller.

4. Is the lot size a major advantage here?
Yes. The lot is over 5,300 sqft, which is larger than about 80% of lots on the same street. This provides more private outdoor space than is typical for the immediate area, a valuable asset for gardening, recreation, or future additions like a deck.

5. The home was built in 2006. Are there any major components nearing the end of their lifespan?
While a 2006 build is considered modern, key components like the roof, major appliances, and the HVAC system are now approximately 18 years old. A pre-purchase inspection is recommended to assess the remaining lifespan of these elements.
