Property Overview
This 2019-built two-storey home in Bridgwater Trails offers modern living on a generous lot. Its key appeal lies in the balance of a relatively new build with established landscaping and a prime location within a sought-after community. The home features over 2,100 sqft of living space, a finished basement, and an attached garage, all situated on a large 11,750 sqft property.
The property ranks highly for its lot size, value, and overall footprint compared to most homes in Winnipeg, indicating strong intrinsic value. It particularly suits buyers looking for a move-in ready, low-maintenance home from the last decade who also desire ample outdoor space—a combination that can be rare in newer subdivisions. It’s an ideal fit for growing families or professionals seeking a established yet contemporary home in a mature neighbourhood setting, without the wait and uncertainty of a brand-new construction.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the high ranking for lot size actually mean?
It means this property's 11,750 sqft lot is larger than 97% of lots on its street, 95% in Bridgwater Trails, and 96% across all of Winnipeg. You are getting significantly more outdoor space than the typical city property.
2. The build year ranking seems low on its street. Is that a concern?
Not necessarily. It shows this 2019 home is newer than only 17% of its immediate neighbours, meaning most houses on the street are even newer. This suggests the street itself is a very recent development, and this property is among the earlier builds in a modern area.
3. Is the finished basement included in the listed 2,179 sqft living area?
Typically, no. The listed living area usually refers to above-grade square footage. The finished basement is an additional bonus space, adding to the home's total usable area.
4. How should I interpret the assessment value versus the asking price?
The municipal assessment of $631,000 is for tax purposes and lags behind the current market. It’s a useful benchmark showing the home is valued in the top 5% city-wide, but the final sale price will be determined by current market conditions, demand, and the home's specific features.
5. What are the advantages of a 7-year-old home versus a brand-new build?
A home of this age offers established gardens and trees, any initial construction kinks have likely been resolved, and the neighbourhood's amenities and landscaping are fully developed. You avoid the wait and potential surprises of a new build while still benefiting from modern layouts and materials.
