Property Summary: 212 Brookfield Crescent, Bridgwater Lakes
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home in the modern Bridgwater Lakes community offers a compelling blend of space, location, and value. Built in 2013, its key strength is its generous 2,285 sqft of living area, which ranks in the top 3% of homes on its street and the top 5% across Winnipeg, providing ample room for a growing or established family. The property sits on a large 5,071 sqft lot with an attached garage and an unfinished basement, presenting a blank canvas for future customization.
Its appeal lies in its position within a desirable, relatively new neighbourhood, combined with standout metrics that suggest a well-above-average home for the area. The home’s last sold price in 2022 and its current assessed value both rank in the top 15% of the street and top 7% citywide, indicating a history of strong value retention. This property would suit buyers prioritizing interior square footage and modern community amenities over a recently renovated finish. It’s ideal for those who see potential in personalizing a space over time, starting with the unfinished basement, and who value a home that compares favorably in size and value to its immediate and city-wide peers.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "unfinished basement" condition mean?
The basement is included in the home’s footprint but is not developed into living space. It provides significant storage and future expansion potential, allowing a new owner to finish it to their own specifications and budget.
2. How significant is the living area compared to nearby homes?
The living area is a standout feature. It is larger than 97% of homes on Brookfield Crescent and 95% of homes in Winnipeg, making it a notably spacious offering for the neighbourhood and the city.
3. The home was last sold in August 2022. Is that a concern?
Not inherently. The sale two years ago falls within a typical ownership period. More importantly, the sale price from that transaction ranks very highly compared to neighbours, suggesting the home commanded a premium price at that time.
4. What do the ranking percentages (e.g., "Top 3%") actually tell me?
These rankings directly compare this property to specific groups—its street, its neighbourhood (Bridgwater Lakes), and all of Winnipeg—based on hard data like size, value, and age. They are a quick way to see if this home is average, below average, or above average for a given metric. For example, being in the "Top 5%" for living area in Winnipeg means it is larger than 95% of homes in the city.
5. The assessed value is listed as $60.90k. Is that the full value?
No, this appears to be a truncated figure for comparison purposes only. The provided comparable properties with the same assessed value listing confirm this. The actual municipal assessed value for tax purposes is significantly higher, as evidenced by the 2022 sale price of $64.30k. Always confirm the full assessed value and market price through official listings or your real estate agent.
