Property Overview: 142 River Pointe Drive, Minnetonka

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home presents a compelling profile defined by its generous lot and efficient scale. Built in 1990, it sits on a substantial 12,090 sqft parcel, a lot size that ranks within the top 15% on its own street and the top 3% citywide, offering notable outdoor space and potential. With 2,544 sqft of living area, the home is comfortably sized, ranking above average for the broader Minnetonka area and well above the Winnipeg city average, yet it is more modestly scaled compared to some larger homes directly on River Pointe Drive. This creates an efficient footprint on a premium lot.

The primary appeal lies in this balance: significant land ownership in a desirable area without the maintenance of an excessively large house. The assessed value context is noteworthy; while it is below the street average, it places well above average for the area and in an elite tier citywide, suggesting a strong underlying value proposition for the neighborhood and city.

This property would suit buyers prioritizing land size and established community character over a brand-new build or the largest home on the block. It’s ideal for someone who values space for gardens, recreation, or future projects, and appreciates a home that offers room to grow without being overwhelming to maintain. The data suggests it represents a strategic entry into a well-regarded area.
