Property Overview: 311 Bonaventure Drive W
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a modern, two-storey home built in 2019, offering a move-in-ready opportunity with a renovated basement. Its key appeal lies in its balance of contemporary living within a well-established context. With 1,550 sqft of living space, it sits comfortably above the city-wide average, providing ample room without the upkeep of a much larger property. The attached garage and a generous 4,697 sqft lot add practical convenience and outdoor space.
The home’s value is underscored by its strong city-wide rankings: it’s newer than 96% of Winnipeg homes and its living area is larger than 72% of them. Yet, within its own Fraipont neighbourhood and street, it aligns more closely with local averages, suggesting it fits seamlessly into the area without being an outlier. This positions it as a solid, above-average city property that doesn’t carry the premium or extreme character of a true "standout" home on its immediate block.
It would suit buyers looking for a low-maintenance, modern build who want to avoid the potential issues of an older home. It’s ideal for small families, professionals, or downsizers seeking space and recent renovations. The property also appeals to the value-conscious buyer who appreciates statistics—its elite city-wide ranking for age combined with its moderate assessed value for the area indicates a potentially efficient investment in a newer asset.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to its neighbours?
The assessed value is around the average for Bonaventure Drive W and slightly above average for the wider Fraipont area. This suggests it’s priced consistently with the local market, not as a discount or a premium listing.
2. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated, but specific finishes and the scope of work (e.g., legal suite, bedroom, or rec room) are not detailed. This would be a key point for buyer verification.
3. Is the lot size typical for the area?
At just under 4,700 sqft, the lot is above average for Fraipont but slightly smaller than the average lot on Bonaventure Drive W itself. It offers good outdoor space for the neighbourhood.
4. The home is newer than most in Winnipeg. Does that mean lower maintenance?
Generally, yes. A 2019 build likely means modern building codes, newer major systems (like HVAC and plumbing), and contemporary insulation. This typically translates to lower immediate repair costs and better energy efficiency compared to the city’s median home age of 1966.
5. Why is there a range for the last sold price instead of the exact figure?
The exact sold price is considered proprietary data. The provided range is based on public records. The listing service offers to provide the exact figure via email upon request, handled manually to ensure accuracy.
