Property Summary: 98 Harlow Bay, Canterbury Park, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home, built in 2013, offers a modern foundation in the established Canterbury Park neighbourhood. Its key features include a renovated basement and an attached garage. The appeal lies in its balance: it’s a newer build on a standard-sized lot (approx. 4,394 sq ft), providing contemporary systems without the maintenance of an older home, yet situated in a mature community. With 1,607 sq ft of living space, it is notably above average for the city and the neighbourhood, offering more room than many comparable Winnipeg homes.

The property suits first-time buyers or young families looking for a move-in-ready, low-maintenance home in a quiet area. Its assessed value positions it as a solid, mid-range option in Canterbury Park, offering good value for a home of its age and size. A thoughtful perspective is its "above average" ranking for year built within the city—this isn't just a new house on a new street, but one of the newer homes in a Winnipeg-wide context, which can be a long-term advantage.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size compare to others?
The land area is around average for both Harlow Bay street and the wider Canterbury Park area. It’s a standard residential lot, not exceptionally large or small for the community.

2. Is this a new construction home?
No, it was built in 2013. However, its build date is well above average for both the neighbourhood and especially for Winnipeg overall, meaning it is a relatively modern home in a city with many older properties.

3. What is the significance of the renovated basement?
The finished basement adds valuable flexible living space. Given the home's living area is already above average for the city, the renovation effectively expands the usable square footage beyond the 1,607 sq ft main floors.

4. How does the assessed value relate to the last sale price?
The home was last sold in July 2017 for $382,000. Its current assessed value is $497,000. This increase reflects market changes over seven years and the value added by the basement renovation, but a buyer should always base their offer on current market conditions and a professional appraisal.

5. What does the "above average" living area ranking mean practically?
While the home is mid-pack on its own street for size, it is larger than roughly 75% of homes across Winnipeg and 73% of homes in Canterbury Park. This means you get more interior space than most homes you might compare it to in the wider market.
