81 Mardena Crescent

Property Overview: 81 Mardena Crescent, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a substantial, modern family home in Normand Park, distinguished by its significant scale and premium positioning within the local market. Built in 2011, the property offers 2,778 square feet of living space on an expansive 10,442 square foot lot. Its appeal lies in the combination of a contemporary build, generous interior space, and a large, private yard—a rare find for a home just over a decade old. The data underscores its elite standing: it ranks in the top 2-5% of its immediate street and neighbourhood for living area, lot size, and assessed value, and sits within the top 3% city-wide for value.

This home would best suit buyers looking for a move-in ready, established property in a mature neighbourhood without the maintenance concerns of an older build. It’s ideal for a growing or multi-generational family that prioritizes both indoor space for living and ample outdoor room for recreation, gardening, or future additions. The numbers suggest it’s a property for those seeking a long-term home with a strong foothold in one of the city’s more desirable market segments, rather than a starter home or a quick renovation project.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value compare to the recent sold price?
The home was assessed at $778,000. Public records indicate it sold in October 2024 for between $800,000 and $850,000. The sale price exceeding the assessment is common in active markets and for properties with standout features.

2. What does its "top 2%" ranking for living area actually mean?
This means that compared to all residential properties across Winnipeg, this home’s interior square footage is larger than approximately 98% of them. On its own street (Mardena Crescent), it ranks #1 out of 44 homes for size.

3. Is a 2011 build considered "new" or "established"?
In Winnipeg’s context, where the average home city-wide was built in 1966, a 2011 build is considered quite modern. It offers contemporary construction standards and likely newer major systems (like HVAC and roofing), while being past the initial "brand-new" settling-in period.

4. The lot is large, but how does it shape the property’s feel?
At over 10,400 sq. ft., the lot is notably larger than the averages on the street (~6,200 sq. ft.) and in the city (~6,570 sq. ft.). This provides significant backyard privacy, space for landscaping, and potential for additions like a deck, patio, or garden suite, subject to zoning.
