Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home is a standout property in Winnipeg’s desirable Linden Woods neighbourhood, distinguished by its significant scale and premium valuation. Its primary appeal lies in offering substantial space on a large, private lot—a combination that is increasingly rare.

The home’s assessed value of $1.33M places it at the very top of its immediate street and in the elite tier for the neighbourhood, indicating a premium property in a premium area. Built in 1987, it is a well-established home in a mature setting. This property would best suit buyers looking for established prestige, who prioritize generous indoor and outdoor space over a brand-new build. It’s an ideal fit for a family seeking room to grow, entertain, and enjoy privacy within a sought-after community, or for a buyer who values land size as a long-term asset.
Frequently Asked Questions

The home sold in 2021 for an estimated $1.3M–$1.35M, which aligns closely with its current $1.33M assessed value, suggesting a stable market valuation.
2. Is the lot size unusual for the area?
Yes. The lot is significantly larger than average, ranking in the top 4% in Linden Woods and the top 2% city-wide. It offers a level of privacy and outdoor space that is a key differentiator.
3. What does the "above average" ranking for its year built mean?
Built in 1987, the home is older than the median for Winnipeg but is actually newer than many on its own street and in Linden Woods. This suggests a mature, established streetscape rather than an outdated home.
4. Who provides the exact historical sold price, and why isn't it public?
Exact sale prices are not always publicly disclosed in Manitoba. The listing service offers to provide this data manually via email, which is a common practice to ensure accuracy while complying with data distribution rules.
5. Are the property taxes likely to be high?
Given the assessed value is in the top 2% for the neighbourhood, property taxes will be correspondingly high. Buyers should budget for a premium tax bill consistent with elite-tier homes in Winnipeg.
