Property Overview: 85 Brooksmere Trail, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a substantial, modern two-storey home in Winnipeg's Inkster Gardens neighbourhood. Built in 2019, its primary appeal lies in its significant scale and premium positioning within a newer community. With over 3,200 square feet of living space, it ranks in the top 1% of homes in the entire city for size. The property sits on a large, private lot of over 8,500 square feet and features an attached garage and a renovated basement.
The home’s standout characteristic is its elite standing when compared locally. It’s not just a large house; it’s notably larger and more valuable than the vast majority of homes in its immediate area and across Winnipeg. This creates a unique proposition: a nearly new, estate-sized property without the typical older neighbourhood premium. It suits buyers looking for ample space for a growing or multi-generational family, who value modern construction and low-maintenance living, but who also prioritize lot privacy over an inner-city location. It would also appeal to value-conscious purchasers who understand that acquiring this much square footage in a newer home often comes at a significant price per-foot advantage compared to similarly sized properties in more established, high-end districts.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "Elite – Top 1%" ranking actually mean for this home?
It means that for key metrics like living area and assessed value, this property outperforms 99% of all comparable homes in the city. In its own neighbourhood, it is among the very largest and most valuable houses.
2. The home sold in late 2021. Is the current assessed value accurate?
The assessed value of $1.08M is the city's valuation for tax purposes, which often lags behind the current market. The 2021 sale price was between $1.1M and $1.13M, providing a more recent benchmark, but a professional appraisal is recommended for the most current market value.
3. What are the advantages of a home built in 2019?
A 2019 build offers modern building codes, energy efficiency, and contemporary layouts without the immediate major maintenance concerns (like roof or furnace replacement) common in older homes. It provides a balance between being "new" and having an established landscape on a mature lot.
4. The lot is large, but ranked "around average" on its own street. Is that a concern?
Not necessarily. This indicates Brooksmere Trail consists of substantial properties, reinforcing the calibre of the neighbourhood. The lot is still significantly larger than the typical Winnipeg lot and offers considerable privacy.
5. How can I get the exact historical sale price?
