Property Overview & Appeal
This well-situated home at 95 Wayfield Drive in Fairfield Park presents a practical and comfortable living space. Its key characteristics include a renovated basement, an attached garage, and a 2007 build date, making it a relatively modern structure. With 1,738 sqft of living space, it offers above-average roominess for Winnipeg overall, while sitting comfortably within the norms of its immediate neighborhood and street.
The appeal lies in its balanced, move-in-ready profile and strong positional value. The home ranks above average for its assessed value both on its street and city-wide, suggesting a solid investment in a desirable location. The lot size is generous for the street, and the newer build year means major systems are likely still in good condition, offering peace of mind. It would suit first-time buyers or young families looking for a modern home without the premium of a brand-new build, as well as value-conscious buyers who appreciate a home that stands out in its immediate area for lot size and newer construction without being an outlier.
A less obvious perspective is that this property offers a "goldilocks" size—it's spacious enough for growing needs but not so large as to be inefficient, potentially appealing to downsizers from larger estates who still want ample room. Additionally, its consistent above-average rankings in key metrics suggest a resilience that might not be immediately apparent in a fluctuating market.
