Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 2017-built home in River Park South stands out for its generous scale and modern foundation. At nearly 2,500 square feet, its living space is significantly larger than most, ranking in the top 1% of its neighborhood and top 3% city-wide. It sits on a well-sized lot that is above average for its immediate street. With an assessed value of $651,000, the property holds an "elite" position in the broader market, placing in the top 5% across Winnipeg, which speaks to its perceived quality and desirability.

The primary appeal lies in acquiring a spacious, contemporary home without the wait of new construction, set within an established and sought-after neighborhood.

A thoughtful perspective is that while the home is newer than most in Winnipeg, it is around the average age for its own street, suggesting it fits seamlessly into a micro-area of similar, modern properties—offering cohesion rather than standing out as an anomaly.
