Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home in Dakota Crossing stands out for its generous proportions and modern foundation. Built in 2016, it offers over 2,250 square feet of living space, placing it in the top 5% of homes citywide for size. The property sits on a large, 8,150 sqft lot—a notable feature within its immediate neighborhood—and includes an attached garage. The basement is unfinished, presenting a blank canvas for future expansion. Its assessed value is consistently above average across local, area, and city-wide comparisons.

The primary appeal lies in acquiring a relatively new, spacious home on a sizable lot without paying a premium for high-end interior finishes. The unfinished basement is a key feature, not a drawback; it allows the next owner to customize the space to their exact needs and taste, potentially adding significant value. This home would best suit a growing family or a buyer looking for a property with clear "sweat equity" potential. It’s ideal for someone who values modern construction and ample room to grow, both inside and on the property, but prefers to invest in upgrades over time.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the unfinished basement a major inconvenience?
Not necessarily. While it requires an investment to finish, it means you can design the space—whether as a rec room, home office, or additional bedrooms—exactly as you wish, without needing to undo someone else’s work.

2. How does the lot size compare to newer subdivisions?
At over 8,000 sqft, the lot is significantly larger than what is typically offered in many newer developments. This provides excellent outdoor space for play, gardening, or future additions like a deck or shed.

3. The home sold for much less in 2016. Does that affect its current value?
The 2016 sale price reflects its initial purchase from the builder. The current assessed value and market price are based on its age, condition, and substantial appreciation in the Winnipeg market over the past decade.

4. What does the "Elite" ranking for living area actually mean?
It means this home is larger than approximately 95% of all homes in Winnipeg. You are getting above-average square footage, which is a permanent and desirable asset.

5. Who is this home not suited for?
It may not be the best fit for buyers seeking a completely move-in-ready, turnkey property where no projects are anticipated. The basement requires planning and investment to realize its full potential.
