86 Gottfried Point

Property Overview

86 Gottfried Point is a modern two-storey home in Canterbury Park, built in 2023. It features an attached garage, a full basement (unrenovated), and sits on a 4,191 sqft lot. With 1,976 sqft of living space, it offers a contemporary layout in a well-established neighbourhood.

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home’s primary appeal is its balance of new construction within a mature area. As a 2023 build, it offers modern efficiencies, current layouts, and minimal immediate maintenance—a significant advantage in a neighbourhood where the average home is decades older. The living space is notably above average for both Canterbury Park and Winnipeg overall, providing ample room without being oversized.

The property suits two main types of buyers: those seeking a move-in-ready, newer home who want the established trees and community feel of an older suburb, and value-conscious buyers who appreciate that the unrenovated basement presents a blank canvas for future customization. It’s less suited for those wanting a large, sprawling yard, as the lot size is below the city average, or for buyers looking for a fully finished home from top to bottom.

A thoughtful perspective is its positioning within its immediate micro-market on Gottfried Point. Here, it’s statistically average in several categories, suggesting it’s a stable, in-line choice for the street without overpaying for premium features. Its recent sale history shows it commands a price well above the neighbourhood and city assessed value averages, indicating strong market confidence in newer builds in this area.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the basement finished?
No, the basement is included but is not renovated. This provides the next owner with the opportunity to finish it to their own taste and needs.

2. How does this home compare to others in Canterbury Park?
It is newer than approximately 99% of homes in the neighbourhood. Its living area is also significantly larger than the Canterbury Park average, placing it in the top 8% for space.

3. What is the typical lot size in this area?
The lot at 4,191 sqft is below the city-wide average but is fairly typical for Gottfried Point itself. It is larger than 84% of the other 19 lots on the same street.

4. Why are the recent sale prices higher than the assessed value?
The assessed value is for taxation purposes. The sale prices reflect current market demand, particularly for a nearly new home in an established neighbourhood, which buyers are willing to pay a premium for.

5. What is the potential for future resale value?
As one of the newest homes in a broad area, it should retain a relative advantage for some time. However, its value trajectory will increasingly align with general neighbourhood trends as it ages and more new construction potentially appears elsewhere.
