Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1,040 sqft home, built in 1981, presents a solid, well-maintained option in a mature Winnipeg neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in its strong standing within its immediate community. On Blackwater Bay street, it ranks well above average for assessed value (top 20%) and has a larger-than-average lot for the street. While the living space is slightly below the neighbourhood average, the home is notably one of the newer builds on its block. The assessed value of $405k sits comfortably above the street average, suggesting good upkeep and desirability for the location.

This property would suit a first-time buyer or downsizer looking for a manageable home in an established area without a premium price tag. It’s also a practical choice for a value-conscious buyer who prioritizes a good lot size and a stable street over having the newest or largest house in the wider area. A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents the "steady middle" of its market—it’s not the biggest, but its strong street-level rankings indicate it's a proven and competitive property within its most direct peer group.
