Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-maintained home in Dakota Crossing is a practical and comfortable family residence. Its key strength lies in its above-average positioning within its community. With 1,786 sqft of living space, it offers more room than the typical Winnipeg home, and its 2004 build date makes it notably newer than most in the city. The property features an attached garage and a renovated basement, adding functional living and storage space.

The appeal is grounded in value and stability. The home’s assessed value ranks consistently high—within the top 20% on its street and top 9% citywide—suggesting a solid investment in a desirable area. It suits buyers looking for a move-in ready, low-maintenance home from the 2000s, avoiding the potential for major system overhauls common with older properties. It’s ideal for growing families or professionals who prioritize space and modern construction over a sprawling lot, as the yard size is more modest compared to immediate neighbours but average for the broader area.

A thoughtful perspective: this home represents a "sweet spot" of modern amenities without the premium price of a brand-new build. Its recent sale in late 2024 indicates a refreshed market valuation, providing clear, current comps for buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the lot size impact the property?
While the land area is smaller than some on the same street, it is average for the Dakota Crossing neighbourhood and city. This often translates to less yard maintenance while still providing private outdoor space.

2. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms a renovated basement, which typically adds significant finished living area. Specific details on the finishes, permits, or the scope of renovation should be verified with the seller or listing agent.

3. Is the sale price from 2024 reflective of current value?
The home sold in September 2024 for $600k, a price that ranked in the top 7% for the area and city at that time. This is the most current indicator of market value, but conditions can change.

4. Who might this home not suit?
Buyers seeking a very large yard or an estate-sized lot may find the property limiting. It’s also not a fit for those specifically seeking a historic character home or a brand-new construction.

5. How does the assessed value relate to the sale price?
The municipal assessed value for taxation purposes is $59.20k (a figure in thousands, not the market value). The recent sale price of $600k is the true market valuation. The high percentile ranking of the assessed value indicates the property is consistently viewed as above-average by the assessor.
