Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-situated home in Riverbend presents a compelling blend of space, modernity, and established value. Built in 2005, it is a newer property compared to most in Winnipeg, offering the benefits of contemporary construction without being in a brand-new development. Its 1,620 sqft living area is notably above average for both the neighborhood and the city, providing ample room for comfortable living. The assessed value of $488k reflects its strong standing, ranking well above area and city averages, which suggests a solid investment in a desirable location.

The primary appeal lies in its efficient balance. You get a spacious, modern home on a manageable 4,276 sqft lot—ideal for those who prefer more house to maintain and less yard work. It suits buyers looking for a move-in-ready home in a mature neighborhood, particularly growing families or professionals seeking space and stability. A thoughtful perspective is that while the lot size is smaller than some on its street, this often translates to a more community-focused streetscape and less weekend upkeep, aligning with a modern, efficient lifestyle. The recent sale in 2023 indicates a active, liquid market for this specific property type.
