Property Summary: 28 Pebble Creek Gate, Bridgwater Lakes
Section 1: Overview & Appeal
This well-maintained two-storey home, built in 2018, sits on a generous 6,444 sqft lot in the popular Bridgwater Lakes neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in a balance of modern construction, established community living, and significant outdoor space—a combination that can be hard to find in newer suburbs. The home features over 2,100 sqft of living space, an attached garage, and a full (though unrenovated) basement offering potential for future customization.
The property’s standout characteristic is its lot size, which is larger than over 80% of others on its street, providing ample room for gardening, play, or expansion. While the interior living area is modest relative to some newer builds in the area, this is offset by the premium outdoor space. It suits buyers looking for a relatively recent build in a family-oriented community who prioritize a large yard over having the largest floor plan. It would also appeal to those who see value in a home with a blank-canvas basement, ready to be finished to their own taste and timeline. The recent sale in mid-2024 provides clear, current market context for value-conscious buyers.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to typical properties in Winnipeg?
The lot is exceptionally large for a modern home, ranking in the top 23% across all of Winnipeg. In a newer community like Bridgwater Lakes, such sizable lots are increasingly rare.
2. The assessed value seems low compared to the recent sale price. Why is that?
Manitoba’s property assessments are not intended to reflect current market value. The 2024 sale price of $650,000 is the accurate indicator of its market worth. The assessment is used for municipal tax calculations and is typically lower.
3. Is the home in a newer or more established part of the neighbourhood?
Built in 2018, the home is newer than 88% of properties in Bridgwater Lakes, indicating it’s in a more recently developed section. However, being eight years old means the landscaping and community amenities are now well-established.
4. What does the ranking data for "Street" and "Neighbourhood" actually tell me?
These percentile rankings show how this property compares to others on specific metrics. For example, while its lot ranks very high on its street, its living area is more average compared to the wider Bridgwater Lakes area. This helps identify the property’s relative strengths and trade-offs.
5. The basement is noted as "not renovated." What should I expect?
This typically means the basement is unfinished or only partially finished with basic amenities. It presents potential for future living space, storage, or a recreational area, but would require an investment to complete.
