Property Overview: 354 Bonaventure Drive W
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a modern, two-storey home built in 2019, offering a move-in-ready foundation in Winnipeg's Fraipont neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in its balance of newer construction and manageable scale. With 1,609 sqft of living space, it sits comfortably above the citywide average, providing ample room for a small family or couple, yet it isn't oversized, which can mean lower utility costs and easier upkeep. The home features an attached garage and a full, unrenovated basement offering potential for future customization.
The property’s standout characteristic is its relative newness; it's newer than 96% of homes citywide, suggesting modern building standards, fewer immediate repairs, and updated systems. However, the context is nuanced. On its own street and within Fraipont—a relatively newer area—the home's size and lot (4,417 sqft) are more typical or slightly below average for the immediate vicinity. This positions it as a practical, lower-maintenance option within a neighbourhood of larger, similarly aged homes. It would suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a modern home without the premium of a brand-new build, and value-conscious buyers who appreciate a newer property but are comfortable with a standard lot size and see the unfinished basement as a project opportunity rather than a drawback.
