Property Summary: 58 Marksbridge Drive, Linden Woods
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-established home, built in 1999, offers a balanced and spacious family layout with approximately 2,140 square feet of living space. Its key appeal lies in its strong positional value within the desirable Linden Woods neighbourhood. The data reveals a home that is consistently above average when compared to the wider city, particularly in assessed value (ranking in the top 4% city-wide) and living space (top 8% city-wide). On its own street and within Linden Woods, it presents as a solid, mid-range property—not the largest or newest, but one that holds its own with reliable metrics.
The lot size of just under 6,000 sq ft is typical for the street but slightly below the neighbourhood average, suggesting a lower-maintenance yard focused on the home itself. Recent sale prices indicate stable and strong value retention. This property would best suit buyers looking for a move-in ready family home in a premier area without the premium for a maximized lot or the very newest construction. It’s an ideal choice for those who value neighbourhood prestige and space over a brand-new build or extensive outdoor space.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home truly compare to others in Linden Woods?
While its living space and assessed value are above average for Winnipeg, within Linden Woods itself it ranks solidly in the middle to upper-middle of the pack. This means you’re getting a home that is competitive in a sought-after area, without paying the peak price for the absolute largest or newest properties in the neighbourhood.
2. What does the "below average" ranking for land area in Linden Woods mean?
The lot is slightly smaller than the Linden Woods average (5,977 sq ft vs. ~7,281 sq ft). In practice, this likely means a more manageable backyard, potentially with less maintenance, while still providing typical suburban outdoor space. It’s a trade-off that keeps the property focused on the home.
3. The home sold in both 2021 and 2022. Is that a concern?
The brief ownership period could be due to many neutral factors like a job relocation or change in family circumstances. The fact that it sold within the same price range both times suggests the market consistently affirmed its value during that period.
4. Why is the city-wide assessment ranking so much higher than the local one?
This highlights the premium of the Linden Woods area. A home that is average or above-average in this neighbourhood is elite compared to the entire city’s housing stock, which includes many older, smaller homes. It underscores the long-term value of the location.
5. How can I get the exact historical sale prices?
The exact sold prices are not publicly listed in detail. As noted on the detail page, you can request this information directly via email from the listing service, which provides it manually without using your email for marketing.
