Property Summary: 40 Duncan Norrie Drive, Linden Woods
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home presents a compelling value proposition within the desirable Linden Woods neighbourhood. Its key characteristic is a strong city-wide standing, particularly in assessed value where it ranks in the elite top 4% compared to all Winnipeg homes. This suggests a solid investment foundation for the price point. The 1,774 sqft living space is above the city average but is more modest relative to its own street and area, indicating a potentially efficient layout without excessive square footage to maintain. Built in 1995, the home is newer than most city properties but is among the older homes on its block, which may appeal to buyers seeking an established, mature streetscape. The lot size is generous by city standards.
Its appeal lies in securing a well-regarded address with a property that outperforms most of the market in terms of official valuation. It would suit value-conscious buyers who prioritize location and investment metrics over sheer size, and who may appreciate a home in a mature setting with larger city-wide comparisons. It’s a practical choice for those wanting entry into Linden Woods without the premium typically attached to the largest or newest homes in the area.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does its "elite" city-wide assessed value ranking mean?
This means the home’s official assessed value is higher than approximately 96% of all residential properties in Winnipeg. It indicates strong underlying value for its price compared to the broader market, though it's more average within the immediate Linden Woods area.
2. Is the living space considered small for the neighbourhood?
Yes, relatively. The living area is below the average for Duncan Norrie Drive itself and slightly below the Linden Woods average. However, it remains comfortably above the Winnipeg city average. It’s a mid-sized home for the area.
3. The home was last sold between 2016-2025. How can I find the exact price?
The exact sold price is not publicly displayed due to data restrictions. You can request it directly via the email button on the listing page. The service provides the accurate figure manually, typically by the end of the same business day.
4. Given it's among the older homes on the street, should I be concerned about updates?
Being built in 1995 and ranked lower for "year built" on its street simply means most neighbours' homes were constructed later. It doesn't specify the condition. A thorough inspection is recommended to determine if major systems (roof, HVAC, windows) have been updated, as this is the typical maintenance cycle for a home of this age.
5. How does the lot size compare?
At just over 6,400 sqft, the lot is above the city average and fairly typical for Linden Woods. It’s slightly smaller than the immediate street average but offers a substantial outdoor space by overall Winnipeg standards.
