Property Overview: 245 Deer Run Drive, Linden Woods
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home is a well-proportioned property in the established Linden Woods neighbourhood. Built in 2001, it is notably newer than most homes on its street and in the wider city, suggesting modern construction and potentially fewer major upkeep concerns in the near term. With 1,786 sqft of living space, it offers a comfortable size that is above the citywide average, fitting for a growing family or those seeking spacious rooms without the footprint of a maximized lot. The property sits on a 5,706 sqft lot, which provides a generous private yard for a mature neighbourhood, ranking above average for Deer Run Drive itself.
Its appeal lies in its balanced, above-average positioning across several key metrics without extreme peaks or valleys. It’s not the largest or most valuable home in the area, but it consistently performs better than the median when viewed against the entire city, particularly in year built and living area. This positions it as a solid, turnkey option in a desirable area. It would suit practical buyers—perhaps young families or professionals—who value Linden Woods' amenities and reputation but are looking for a home that requires less immediate updating than older stock, and who appreciate a sizeable, usable yard.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to its last sale?
The home sold in 2019 for an estimated $450k-$500k. Its current assessed value is $60.9k for taxation purposes, which is not a market valuation but a figure used for calculating property taxes. The assessed value ranks in the top 7% citywide, indicating the city views it as a higher-value property relative to most in Winnipeg.
2. Is the lot size typical for Linden Woods?
The lot is just under 5,700 sqft, which is actually below the average for Linden Woods (where many lots are over 7,200 sqft). However, on its own street, Deer Run Drive, this lot size is above average. This suggests the neighbourhood has a mix of lot sizes, and this property offers a very good private outdoor space for its specific street.
3. What does the "year built" ranking tell me?
Being in the top 2% for year built on its street means it is one of the newest homes in the immediate vicinity. This is a less obvious advantage that can mean more contemporary building standards, materials, and layouts compared to neighbours, and potentially deferred maintenance timelines for major components like the roof or windows.
4. Who provides the exact historical sold price?
The exact sold price is not publicly displayed due to privacy regulations. The listing service offers to provide the precise figure via email upon request, which they handle manually without using your email for marketing.
5. How can I see how this property fits into the neighbourhood?
A dedicated neighbourhood analysis map is available, allowing you to see this home in context with nearby properties, comparing details like year built, lot size, and assessed value visually. This helps understand the character and consistency of the immediate area.
