Property Overview: 79 Thurston Bay, Linden Woods

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home at 79 Thurston Bay is a well-situated property in Winnipeg's desirable Linden Woods neighbourhood. Built in 2002, its age is a relative strength, ranking newer than most homes on its street and across the city, suggesting a modern build with potentially fewer major upkeep concerns compared to older stock.

The appeal lies in its balanced positioning. With 1,796 sqft of living space, it offers ample room for a family, sitting comfortably above the average for similar homes on Thurston Bay itself. Its assessed value places it in the top tier city-wide, indicating a solid valuation foundation, yet it remains around the average for its immediate neighbourhood—a sign it’s not an outlier but a typical, established home for the area.

A thoughtful perspective is its lot size. At just under 5,000 sqft, the land area is notably smaller than most lots in Linden Woods. This could appeal to buyers seeking a lower-maintenance yard without sacrificing access to the community's amenities and reputation. Conversely, it may be less suited for those dreaming of extensive landscaping, pools, or large outdoor living spaces.

This property would best suit practical buyers—likely growing or established families—who value location and a modern(ish) home in a prime neighbourhood over a massive lot. It’s for those who want community perks like nearby parks and schools, and a home that requires less immediate renovation than an older property, all while representing a sound investment within the city’s broader market.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s value compare to its neighbours?
Based on assessed value, this home is very close to the median for both Thurston Bay and the wider Linden Woods area. It’s not the most expensive nor the least expensive, positioning it as a typical, market-aligned property in this community.

2. Is the lot size a disadvantage?
It depends on your priorities. The lot is smaller than the Linden Woods average, which means less yard maintenance. For buyers who prioritize indoor living space and neighbourhood amenities over a large private yard, this can be a practical benefit.

3. What does the "above average" city-wide ranking for assessed value mean?
This indicates that, compared to all residential properties in Winnipeg, this home’s assessed value is in a high percentile (top 7%). It highlights the premium associated with the Linden Woods address and the property’s condition relative to the entire city’s housing stock.

4. The home sold in 2019. What can that price tell me?
The prior sale price (listed between $500k-$550k) provides a historical benchmark. It’s essential to compare it to current assessments and recent sales of similar homes to understand market trends and the property’s potential appreciation or current asking price context.

5. Are homes from 2002 likely to need major updates?
A 24-year-old home is often past the lifespan of its original major components, like the roof, furnace, or windows. While being newer than many city homes is a plus, a prudent buyer should budget for potential updates or ensure inspections cover these aging systems.
