Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This two-storey home at 380 Windflower Road in Bridgwater Trails is a modern property built in 2020, offering a balance of space and contemporary living. Its key appeal lies in its relatively new construction, which minimizes immediate major maintenance concerns, and its location within a popular, master-planned community known for its pathways and amenities. The home sits on a nearly 5,000 sqft lot and features 1,812 sqft of living space, an attached garage, and an unfinished basement.
The property is well-suited for first-time homebuyers, young professionals, or small families seeking a modern, low-maintenance home in a community-focused neighbourhood. Its assessed value ranks highly city-wide, suggesting solid long-term investment potential in Winnipeg’s newer suburban landscape. A thoughtful perspective for buyers is the value of the unfinished basement; while not a finished space, it provides flexible, low-cost storage or a blank canvas for future customization, allowing owners to add value on their own terms.
