Highlights & common questions: 38 Gaitwin Cove, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This two-storey home at 38 Gaitwin Cove is a well-sized family property in Winnipeg's Dakota Crossing neighbourhood. Built in 1998, it offers 2,180 sqft of living space and sits on a generous 8,702 sqft lot, with an attached garage and an unfinished basement. Its last recorded sale was in May 2021 for $505,000, with a current assessed value of $544,000.

Key Characteristics & Appeal

The primary appeal of this home lies in its space and established neighbourhood setting. With a living area ranking in the top 12% on its street and the top 5% within Dakota Crossing, it offers above-average room for a growing or multi-generational family. The lot size is a significant asset, placing in the elite top 5% of the neighbourhood, providing ample outdoor space for play, gardening, or future expansion like a deck or shed.

Its value proposition is nuanced. While its assessed value is above average city-wide and for Dakota Crossing, it is below average specifically for Gaitwin Cove. This could suggest an opportunity for a buyer in a desirable location, where the home itself may have room for updates. The unfinished basement presents a blank canvas for customization.

This property would best suit practical buyers who prioritize indoor and outdoor space over a turn-key, renovated home. It’s ideal for a family looking to put their own stamp on a property, or for those who value a larger lot in a mature neighbourhood, understanding that some modernization may be part of their future plan.
