Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This two-storey home in Bridgwater Forest offers a compelling blend of space, modern updates, and established neighbourhood living. Built in 2011, its key feature is a generously sized living area of 2,669 sq ft, which ranks in the top tier for both the immediate street and the wider Winnipeg area. The property sits on a large lot and includes the practical benefits of an attached garage and a renovated basement.
Its appeal lies in this above-average interior space within a well-regarded, relatively new community. The home is not the newest on the block, but it presents a "move-in ready" proposition with the basement work already completed. It would suit growing families or professionals seeking ample room without the footprint of a brand-new build, and who value a neighbourhood that has matured over the past decade. A thoughtful perspective is that while the assessed value is modest, the home's recent sale price indicates a strong market perception, suggesting desirable features or upgrades not fully captured by the assessment.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the home’s size compare to others nearby?
The living area is notably larger than most, ranking better than 93% of homes on the same street and 96% within Bridgwater Forest.
2. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope. This would be a key detail to clarify with the seller or agent regarding finishes, layout, and permitted use.
3. Is the property in a newer or older part of Bridgwater Forest?
Built in 2011, the home is part of the community's earlier phases. It is older than some direct neighbours (e.g., 19 Forest Creek Road built in 2013) but is still a modern home with the established landscaping and community amenities that come with a decade of maturity.
4. Why is there a significant difference between the assessed value and the last sold price?
The last sold price in 2020 was $620k, while the assessed value is listed at $68.40k. This large discrepancy is typical; municipal property assessments in Manitoba are not intended to reflect market value and are often significantly lower. Market value is determined by recent sales of comparable homes.
5. What is the neighbourhood ranking based on?
The provided rankings (e.g., "Top 40% in neighbourhood") are based on the specific metric mentioned, such as living area or year built, compared to all listed properties in the Bridgwater Forest area on this platform. They are useful for quick comparison but don't reflect overall neighbourhood desirability.
