Property Overview: 70 Haverstock Crescent, Linden Woods
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home presents a compelling mix of established value and relative modernity within Winnipeg’s desirable Linden Woods neighbourhood. Built in 2001, it sits comfortably within the average age for its immediate area, suggesting a home past its initial settling phase but not facing the major renewal needs of older properties.
Its primary appeal lies in its strong assessed value proposition. With an assessment of $740,000, it ranks in the top 14% of homes on its street and in Linden Woods, and an elite top 3% city-wide. This indicates a property that is highly valued relative to the broader Winnipeg market, often a sign of a premium location or lot. Interestingly, this high value is achieved with a living area (1,730 sq. ft.) that is actually below the average for both the street and the neighbourhood, but above the city-wide average. This suggests value is driven more by lot, location, and finish quality than sheer size. The lot itself, at just under 5,900 sq. ft., is on the smaller side for the crescent and Linden Woods, which may appeal to buyers seeking established landscaping with less maintenance.
This property would suit buyers looking for a move-in ready home in a prime neighbourhood without the premium for maximum square footage. It’s ideal for those who prioritize location and perceived market value over having the largest house on the block, and who appreciate a manageable yard. The strong city-wide valuation also makes it a notable consideration for buyers comparing across multiple neighbourhoods.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the sold price from 2022 relate to the current assessed value?
The home sold for an estimated $600k-$650k in 2022. The current assessed value of $740k is notably higher, reflecting municipal assessment updates and broader market changes. It’s important to consult a real estate professional for a current market valuation.
2. The living space is noted as below average for the street. Does the home feel small?
While below the street average of ~1,907 sq. ft., the home’s layout and design are key. Its above-average city-wide size suggests it is still a spacious family home. The value ranking implies the space is likely well-appointed or efficiently designed.
3. What does the "top 3% city-wide" assessed value ranking mean for property taxes?
A high assessed value typically results in higher property taxes relative to an average-priced Winnipeg home. However, taxes are also influenced by municipal mill rates. You can estimate the tax bill using the City of Winnipeg’s calculator and this assessment figure.
4. The lot is smaller than others on the crescent. Are there any advantages to this?
A smaller lot in Linden Woods often means less yard maintenance, which can be a benefit for busy professionals or those not wanting extensive gardening. It can also create a more community-focused streetscape with homes closer together.
5. How can I get the exact historical sold price?
The exact sold price is not publicly listed in detail. As noted on the listing, you can request this information directly via email from the source, SaveOnHouse, who will provide the precise figure manually.
