Property Overview
This well-situated Marlton home presents a compelling blend of space, modern comfort, and established character. Built in 2005, it is a one-storey bungalow offering 1,459 sqft of living space, complemented by a fully finished basement. A key feature is its exceptionally large, private lot of over 22,000 sqft, providing rare potential for gardening, recreation, or future expansion. The property includes both attached and detached garage spaces, adding significant utility and storage options.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What do the ranking percentages actually mean?
They show how this property compares to others in its immediate area. For example, its lot size is larger than 99% of all properties in Winnipeg, and it's newer than 94% of homes on its street, indicating a premium, modern property on a uniquely large lot.
2. Is the large lot mostly usable, or is it uneven or sloped?
While the listing confirms the total square footage, viewing the street imagery map (by dragging the yellow map figure onto Oakdale Drive) is the best way to visually assess the lot's topography, tree coverage, and overall usability for your needs.
3. What are the benefits of having both an attached and a detached garage?
This combination offers excellent flexibility. The attached garage provides convenient, direct access to the home, while a detached garage can serve as a dedicated workshop, studio, or secure storage for vehicles, tools, or recreational equipment without impacting the main living space.
4. As a bungalow, what is the layout and ceiling height like in the finished basement?
The listing confirms the basement is finished, which adds significant liveable space. For specific details on ceiling height, room layout, natural light, and whether it includes a separate entrance or legal suite potential, this would require a viewing or inquiry with the listing agent.
5. The home is 21 years old. What major systems or components might need attention soon?
While a 2005 build is relatively modern, a pre-purchase inspection is always recommended to assess the condition of the roof, HVAC system, windows, and major appliances, which are approaching or within a typical lifespan for replacement.
