Property Overview: 19 Morava Way, Amber Trails
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-situated two-storey home in Amber Trails offers a balanced proposition for buyers seeking established comfort with room to grow. Built in 2007, it sits on a generous lot that is larger than most on its street and in Winnipeg overall. The 2,122 sqft living area is notably spacious, ranking in the top tier for size locally. A key feature is the renovated basement, adding immediate functional space without the need for a major project.
The appeal lies in its proven stability within a mature pocket of the neighbourhood. While newer builds exist nearby, this home offers a settled setting with larger interior dimensions than many contemporary comparables. Its assessed value has shown consistent strength relative to the area. It would suit practical buyers—perhaps growing families or professionals—who prioritize interior space and a renovated lower level over a brand-new construction. It’s a home for those who see value in established communities and prefer a property where significant structural updates have already been addressed.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the age of this home (2007) compare to others nearby?
It is among the older homes on Morava Way, ranking in the top 14% for age on the street (meaning 86% of houses are newer). However, in the broader Amber Trails and Winnipeg context, it is still newer than a majority of homes, indicating the area has developed in phases.
2. The last sale was in 2019 for $44.20k. Why is the assessed value now $59.60k?
The 2019 sale price appears to be an outlier, as it was below typical values even then (ranking in the bottom third for the neighbourhood at that time). The current assessed value aligns much more closely with recent neighbourhood benchmarks, suggesting the 2019 transaction may not reflect standard market value.
3. Is the living space competitive for Amber Trails?
Yes. With 2,122 sqft, this home offers more living area than approximately 83% of homes in Amber Trails and 93% in Winnipeg, making it a size-advantaged property in the area.
4. What does the "renovated basement" likely include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify finishes or layout. This should be a key point of inquiry to understand if it’s a finished recreational space, includes a bedroom or bathroom, and the quality/age of the renovations.
5. How does the property rank for lot size?
The 5,876 sqft lot is a standout feature. It is larger than roughly 76% of lots on its street and 65% of lots in Winnipeg, offering above-average outdoor space for the area.
