Property Overview: 68 Cantafio Cove, Canterbury Park
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home, built in 2023, is a modern property in Winnipeg's Canterbury Park neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in its combination of new construction, generous space, and a desirable location. With 2,332 sqft of living area, the home is notably larger than most in the area and citywide, offering ample room for a growing family or those who value spacious interiors. The lot size of 6,180 sqft is also above average for Canterbury Park, providing good outdoor space.
The home suits buyers looking for a move-in-ready, modern build without the wait or uncertainties of new construction. It’s an ideal fit for professionals or families seeking a established yet contemporary home in a community where newer builds are rare. A thoughtful perspective is its relative "newness" within its context: while it’s a 2023 build, it sits on a street and in a neighbourhood where this makes it a standout, potentially offering a longer period before major maintenance is required compared to the area's older average home age. The attached garage and existing (though unrenovated) basement add practical utility and future potential.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others in the immediate area?
The data shows it ranks highly against direct neighbours on Cantafio Cove, particularly in living area (rank 1 of 13) and recent sale price (rank 1 of 13). It is a newer and larger home than the typical house on its own street.
2. Is the assessed value the same as the market value?
No. The municipal assessed value for taxation is $59.70k, but the home sold for $650k in July 2023. Market value is determined by recent sales and current market conditions, not the tax assessment.
3. What does the "Elite" or "Top %" ranking mean for the neighbourhood?
For Canterbury Park, this home is in the top 1% for living area and year built. This means it is one of the newest and most spacious homes in the entire neighbourhood, which generally features older, smaller homes.
4. The basement is noted as "not renovated." What should I expect?
This typically means the basement is unfinished or in a basic, builder-grade state. It offers blank-canvas potential for future development to add significant living space, but would require an investment to finish.
5. Who might this property not suit?
It may not be the best fit for buyers seeking a historic character home, a fully renovated turn-key property including the basement, or those with a budget constrained to the average price for the Canterbury Park area, as it sold for a premium.
