Property Overview: 108 North Town Road, Bridgwater Forest
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 2012-built, two-storey home in the popular Bridgwater Forest neighbourhood presents a compelling blend of space, modern updates, and established community living. Its key features include a renovated basement, an attached garage, and a generous 2,221 sqft of living area, which places it in the top tier for size both locally and city-wide. The nearly 8,800 sqft lot offers ample outdoor space, a notable advantage in newer communities.
The appeal lies in its strong, data-backed position within the market. The home ranks in the top 10-15% of Winnipeg for both lot size and living area, and its assessed value sits in the top 2% of the city, suggesting significant value and equity. A previous sale in 2017 at $750k further anchors its market stature. It suits buyers looking for a move-in ready, spacious family home in a sought-after modern neighbourhood, without the wait and uncertainties of new construction. It’s particularly well-matched for those who value quantifiable metrics—seeing that the property outperforms 90%+ of Winnipeg in assessed value and 94% in living space offers a grounded sense of investment. The renovated basement adds immediate functional space for a growing family, a home office, or recreational use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "rank" data actually mean for a buyer?
The rankings compare this property against specific groups (its street, neighbourhood, and all of Winnipeg) for metrics like size and value. For example, ranking "better than 94% in Winnipeg" for living area means only 6% of Winnipeg homes are larger. This data helps objectively gauge the property's relative size and market position.
2. The assessed value is listed at $77.90k. Is that the property tax value?
Yes, this is the municipal assessed value for taxation purposes, not the market sale price. The notable point here is its percentile rank; being in the top 2% in Winnipeg indicates the city assesses this property as significantly more valuable than the vast majority of homes, which is a positive indicator of its underlying value.
3. The home was last sold in 2017. What might have changed since then?
The listing notes a key update: the basement has been renovated. This adds finished living space and modern appeal that wasn't part of the 2017 sale. Given the time since the last sale, other updates to kitchens or bathrooms are possible and would be important to clarify during a viewing.
4. How does the 2012 build year compare to the rest of the neighbourhood?
At 14 years old (as of the data), it is newer than about 68% of homes in both its immediate street and Bridgwater Forest at large. This means it's a relatively modern home within a modern community, likely benefiting from contemporary construction standards while being past the initial "settling" phase of a brand-new build.
5. The lot is large, but is the property private?
With neighbouring homes very close by (the nearest is 18 meters away), the large lot size provides generous outdoor space, but typical of newer subdivisions, privacy will depend on landscaping, fencing, and the specific placement of the home on the lot. This is a key point to evaluate in person.
