Property Overview: 168 Tufnell Drive, River Park South, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1,792 sqft home, built in 1981, stands out for its above-average size and established value within its immediate surroundings. Its primary appeal lies in its strong positional metrics on Tufnell Drive itself. The living area is in the top 9% for the street, and the assessed value of $474k ranks in the elite top 5% among neighbours, suggesting a home that is both larger and more valuable than most on the block. The lot size of 6,283 sqft is also generously above the street and neighbourhood averages.
While it excels on its own street, the home presents a more balanced profile in the wider River Park South area, where its size remains above average but its year built is older than most. This positions it as a mature, well-sized property in a neighbourhood of generally newer homes. It would suit buyers looking for a spacious, established home on a desirable lot, who value a strong foothold in a specific street community over having the newest build in the broader area. The data suggests a property for someone who appreciates proven value and space, possibly a growing family or a buyer seeking room to grow, without the premium associated with a more recent construction date.
