Property Overview: 42 Westchester Drive, Linden Woods
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 2,183 sqft home, built in 1989, sits on a 5,945 sqft lot in the established Linden Woods neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in its above-average living space, offering more room than most homes in Winnipeg. The property presents a balanced, grounded value proposition: while its lot size is modest for the immediate street and area, its assessed value is proportionally lower, suggesting the potential lies in the home itself rather than the land. This creates an interesting dynamic for buyers who prioritize interior space over extensive outdoor grounds.
The home would suit practical buyers looking for a spacious, move-in-ready property in a mature, sought-after neighbourhood without paying a premium for a large lot. It’s a strong fit for families or professionals who value the community and amenities of Linden Woods and want more square footage for their budget, understanding that the yard space is functional but not expansive. The data suggests it’s a home that offers city-wide appeal in terms of size and value, while being a more standard offering within its own desirable enclave.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this home’s value compare to its neighbours?
The assessed value is around average for Westchester Drive but below the average for the broader Linden Woods area. This indicates you may be getting the neighbourhood appeal at a value-oriented entry point relative to other local homes.
Is the lot size a drawback?
The lot is below average for both the street and Linden Woods. This means smaller yard maintenance but also less private outdoor space. For buyers who prioritize interior space and location over a large garden, this is a reasonable trade-off.
What does the "above average" living area ranking mean practically?
With living area in the top 7% city-wide and top 18% on its street, this home genuinely offers more interior space than most comparable properties. This is its standout feature, ideal for those who need room to grow or entertain indoors.
Why is the sold price range from 2024 higher than the assessed value?
Assessed value is for municipal tax purposes and often lags behind the current market. The recent sold price reflects what a buyer actually paid in the competitive 2024 market, giving a more accurate picture of its fair market value.
How updated is a home built in 1989 likely to be?
Built nearly 37 years ago, major components like the roof, windows, and mechanical systems may be nearing or due for replacement. A thorough inspection is crucial, but this era of home also often features well-proportioned rooms and established landscaping.
