Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This 2019-built, one-storey home in Marlton offers a modern living experience on a remarkably large, private lot. Its primary appeal lies in the combination of a newer, low-maintenance home with an exceptionally generous land parcel of over 26,000 sqft—a rarity for newer builds. With 2,280 sqft of living space, a full (unfinished) basement offering future expansion potential, and an attached garage, the home provides solid fundamentals.

The property’s standout feature is its land. The lot size ranks in the top 1% of Winnipeg, offering immense privacy and space for gardens, recreation, or future additions. As a newer build, it also ranks in the top tier for its age, suggesting modern construction standards, energy efficiency, and minimal immediate repair needs. This is a home for buyers who prioritize space and privacy over a multi-level layout. It would suit a growing family seeking a large backyard, professionals wanting a serene retreat close to city amenities, or long-term buyers looking for a modern property with the land to customize over time. Its competitive rankings across value, size, and newness indicate a property that is both a comfortable home and a strong investment within its market.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does an "unfinished basement" mean for this property?
It means the lower level is a blank canvas with full head height and is ready for customization. It significantly adds to the home’s future potential square footage and allows the next owner to finish it to their specific needs, whether for extra bedrooms, a recreational space, or a home office.

2. The lot is very large. What are the associated responsibilities?
While offering great privacy, a lot of this size requires more time and/or investment for landscaping, lawn care, and seasonal maintenance (like snow clearing on a large driveway) compared to a standard suburban lot. It's an advantage for those who enjoy outdoor space, but a consideration for those seeking ultra-low maintenance.

3. The home is a "one-storey." How does the layout typically function?
Also known as a bungalow, all primary living spaces (bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, living areas) are on a single level. This offers excellent accessibility and easy flow, and can be ideal for young families wanting everything on one floor or for planning long-term ease of living.

4. The 2017 sale price seems much lower than the current assessment. Why?
The 2017 transaction likely reflects the purchase of the vacant building lot before the current home was constructed in 2019. The current assessment value reflects the completed, modern house and its substantial lot as a total package.

5. How significant are the high percentile rankings provided?
They are a strong, data-driven indicator of how this property compares to others. Rankings in the top 5-10% for lot size, newness, and assessed value in Winnipeg mean it is a standout property on paper within the broader market, which typically supports its value and appeal.
