Property Overview: 8 Southwick Close, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home in Elmhurst offers a well-proportioned and updated living space. With 1,985 sqft of living area, it sits above the average size for both the neighborhood and the city, providing ample room for a family. Key features include a renovated basement and a private pool, which is a notable amenity for the area. The home was built in 1985, making it relatively modern compared to many Winnipeg houses, and it sits on a standard-sized lot of just over 6,000 sqft.
The primary appeal lies in its combination of space, updates, and desirable community amenities like the pool, all within a stable, established neighborhood. The home’s assessed value consistently ranks in the top tiers for its street, Elmhurst, and city-wide, indicating a property that has been maintained well and holds solid market standing.
This property would best suit a growing or established family looking for a move-in ready home with recreational space for children and entertaining. It’s also a strong fit for buyers who value a home with above-average square footage and modernized features in a mature neighborhood, without the need for a garage.
