Property Overview: 79 Bluewater Crescent, Niakwa Place, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 79 Bluewater Crescent stands out for its substantial scale and premium positioning within its neighbourhood and the wider city. Built in 1987, it is notably newer than many area homes. Its primary appeal lies in its generous proportions: a 1,636 sqft living area and a particularly large 12,879 sqft lot, which ranks in the top 3% city-wide. This combination suggests a property with ample indoor space and significant outdoor potential.
The assessed value of $608k consistently places it in the top tier (top 6-14%) compared to immediate neighbours, the Niakwa Place area, and Winnipeg overall. This indicates a property perceived to have above-average value, likely due to its size, newer construction, and lot. Recent sold data suggests a final price between $600k-$650k, aligning with this premium assessment.
This property would best suit buyers looking for a established family home with room to grow, garden, or entertain outdoors. It appeals to those who value space over a brand-new build and appreciate a home that is newer than the neighbourhood average. It’s a solid choice for someone seeking a long-term home with a footprint that is increasingly rare in the city.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the home’s age (1987) affect its condition and potential needs?
While newer than the area average (1976), a home from the late 1980s will likely have had several key components, like the roof, windows, or major appliances, updated. A thorough inspection is recommended to assess the remaining lifespan of these elements and any era-specific features.
2. What does having a lot in the "top 3% city-wide" really mean for a buyer?
It means exceptional outdoor space for the city. This allows for possibilities like extensive landscaping, large gardens, adding a substantial deck or patio, and potentially future additions like a garage or workshop, subject to zoning. It also offers greater privacy and distance from neighbouring homes.
3. The assessed value is high for the street. What are the implications?
A high assessed value relative to neighbours typically reflects the property's superior attributes (size, lot, age). It generally supports a higher selling price but can also mean higher property taxes. Understanding how the recent sale price aligns with this assessment is key.
4. The sold price is shown as a range. How can I get the exact figure?
The exact sale price is not publicly displayed on this site due to data source rules. You can request the exact figure by email using the "Request exact figures by email" link provided; the service is manual but offered without obligation.
5. Are there comparable homes nearby for context?
Nearby listings like 75 Bluewater Crescent (larger living area, lower assessed value) and 8 Bluewater Crescent (smaller, older, much lower value) provide direct street context. This highlights how 79 Bluewater Crescent occupies a unique, premium middle ground on the crescent.
