Property Overview: 94 Westchester Drive, Linden Woods

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home at 94 Westchester Drive is a study in contrasts, offering a unique position within the desirable Linden Woods neighbourhood. Built in 1989, it sits comfortably in the middle of the pack for age on its street and in the area. Its primary appeal lies in its value proposition within an established, sought-after community. While its 1,630 sqft living area and assessed value are below average for Westchester Drive and Linden Woods specifically, this translates to a home that is notably above the city-wide average in size and assessed value. This creates an opportunity for buyers seeking entry into a premium neighbourhood at a potentially more accessible point.

The property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for Linden Woods amenities—like parks, schools, and a mature setting—without the footprint or price tag of the area's larger, newer homes. The lot, at just under 6,000 sqft, is manageable yet provides good outdoor space. A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents the "established core" of Linden Woods; it’s not the newest or largest on the block, but it benefits from decades of neighbourhood growth and stability. It’s a practical choice for those who prioritize location and community prestige over having the biggest house on the street.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the market price?
Not directly. The assessed value (listed as $48.70k) is for municipal tax purposes. The historical sold price range from 2016 ($300k-$350k) and current market conditions are far more relevant for determining today’s listing or sale price.

2. How does the home’s size compare practically?
At 1,630 sqft, it’s smaller than many neighbours but still larger than the typical Winnipeg home. It likely offers comfortable living space for a small family or couple, but may feel cozy compared to other 2,000+ sqft homes on the street.

3. What does “below average” for the street really mean?
It means that within the specific group of 88 comparable homes on Westchester Drive, this home ranks in the bottom 10% for size and value. However, Westchester Drive is a high-calibre street, so being "below average" here still often means "above average" for the wider city.

4. Are there any concerns with a 1989 build?
A home from 1989 is in the middle of its lifecycle. Key systems (roof, windows, HVAC) may be nearing or past their original lifespan, so a thorough inspection is advised to budget for potential updates, which is typical for homes of this era.

5. Why is the sold price history listed as a range?
The provided sold price is an estimate based on public data. To obtain the exact historical sale price, you must request it directly from the site via email, as they manually verify and provide the precise figure.
