Property Overview
This home at 17 Shearwater Bay presents a balanced offering in Winnipeg's Waverley Heights community. With 1,035 sqft of living space, it sits close to the average for its immediate street but is notably more compact compared to the broader neighborhood average. Its key financial characteristic is a municipal assessed value of $339,000, which is very typical for Shearwater Bay street itself but positions it below the average for both the community and the city, potentially indicating a value opportunity. The 1979 build year is a standout feature, ranking it as one of the newest homes on its street. The lot size of 4,303 sqft is generous for the street but smaller than the community norm.
Who It Appeals To & Key Characteristics
The appeal of this property lies in its relative modernity within a well-established setting and its straightforward, manageable scale. It suits first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a home that requires less upkeep than an older property, without the premium of a brand-new build. The below-average assessment for the area could be attractive to cost-conscious buyers mindful of both purchase price and potential property taxes, though this may also reflect the home's smaller size relative to the neighborhood.
A less obvious perspective is its positioning as a "street-typical" home in a community of larger properties. Buyers gain the benefits and prestige of the Waverley Heights address while maintaining a more modest and efficient footprint. It’s a practical entry point into the area. The lot, while smaller than the community average, is above average for the street, offering a good private outdoor space without being overwhelming to maintain.
