Property Overview: 294 Abbotsfield Drive, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-situated one-storey home in Dakota Crossing offers practical, move-in-ready living. Built in 2001, it is notably newer than many Winnipeg homes, suggesting modern construction standards and potentially fewer major maintenance concerns in the near term. With 1,487 sqft of living space and an attached garage, it provides comfortable, single-level living. The home features a basement, which offers valuable storage or future development potential, though it is noted as not being renovated.

Its primary appeal lies in its balance and positioning. The property sits in a sweet spot: it’s a newer home in a mature neighbourhood, offering a manageable size without being oversized. The recent sale in October 2024 provides clear, current market context for buyers. It would suit first-time homeowners seeking a modern, low-maintenance layout, downsizers looking for a manageable single-level plan, or pragmatic investors attracted by a property with a recent, straightforward transaction history. A thoughtful perspective is that its "average" metrics across the neighbourhood might actually be a strength, indicating a home that fits comfortably within its community without overpaying for premium lot size or finishes, allowing budget for personal updates over time.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value relate to the recent sale price?
The home was assessed at $46.30k, but sold for $51.90k in October 2024. The sale price is the definitive market value, and the difference is common, as assessed values for tax purposes often lag behind current market conditions.

2. Is the lot size a drawback?
The 4,615 sqft lot is below average for Abbotsfield Drive itself but is around average for the wider Dakota Crossing area. It provides a manageable yard for maintenance while still offering private outdoor space.

3. What does "basement, not renovated" typically mean?
This indicates the basement is functional and usable for storage or utilities, but is in a basic, unfinished state. It presents a blank canvas for future development, adding potential value.

4. How does this home compare to others in Winnipeg for its age?
Built in 2001, this home is significantly newer than the Winnipeg city-wide average (1966). This is a key advantage, suggesting systems, windows, and structure are more contemporary.

5. Who might this neighbourhood, Dakota Crossing, appeal to?
Dakota Crossing is an established community with a mix of home ages. This property offers the benefit of a newer build within that stable setting, likely appealing to those who want neighbourhood maturity without an older house.
