64 Silver Creek Road

Property Overview: 64 Silver Creek Road, Bridgwater Trails

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a modern, two-storey home built in 2019, offering a low-maintenance start in the popular Bridgwater Trails community. Its key appeal lies in its balance of being a relatively new build (newer than 96% of Winnipeg homes) with an established neighbourhood feel. The home features 1,504 sqft of living space, an attached garage, and a full, unfinished basement ready for future customization.

The property suits first-time buyers or young families looking for a move-in-ready home without immediate major renovation concerns. Its appeal is practical: modern construction standards, energy efficiency typical of a 2019 build, and the opportunity to finish the basement to add value and space over time. A thoughtful perspective is its positioning within the street itself—while the lot size is on the smaller side for the area, the home is newer than most on the block, suggesting a trade-off where you may benefit from more contemporary features while having less yard to maintain. It represents a solid entry point into a sought-after suburban community.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare to others in Bridgwater Trails?
The data shows this home is newer than about 65% of properties in the wider neighbourhood, but its living area is smaller than about 77% of them. This indicates it's a competitively modern option, though potentially more compact than some larger, similarly priced newer builds in the area.

2. What does the "unfinished basement" mean for me?
The basement is a blank canvas. It’s fully excavated and accessible but requires flooring, walls, and finishes. This is a cost to plan for, but also an opportunity to add significant living space and tailor it to your needs (e.g., a rec room, home office, or extra bedroom) without altering an existing layout.

3. Has the property value increased since it was last sold?
The assessed value is currently $46,100, which is $10,000 higher than its last sold price of $36,100 in August 2019. This suggests appreciation, though market conditions and specific upgrades will influence its final sale price.

4. Is the lot size a concern?
The land area is 2,556 sqft, which is smaller than many lots on the street. This means a more manageable yard with lower maintenance, but less private outdoor space. It's ideal for those who prefer a simpler landscape or prioritize indoor living space.

5. Who might this property not suit?
Buyers needing a fully developed basement immediately, those seeking a large yard for gardening or play, or anyone looking for a home that ranks in the top tier for size within its immediate neighbourhood might find other options in Bridgwater Trails more suitable.
