Property Summary: 40 Bowhill Lane
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a substantial, modern single-family home in Winnipeg's Roblin Park neighbourhood. Built in 2017, its primary appeal lies in the exceptional combination of generous scale, contemporary construction, and a premier lot size. With over 4,190 sqft of living space and a 21,730 sqft lot (nearly half an acre), it offers rare room to grow in the city. The property ranks in the top 1% in Winnipeg for both lot and living area, providing a sense of space and privacy uncommon so close to urban amenities.
The home suits buyers seeking a move-in ready, low-maintenance property without sacrificing land. It’s ideal for a growing or multi-generational family that values large, flexible indoor spaces and extensive outdoor potential. Its newer build year means modern systems and less immediate concern for major repairs. A less obvious perspective is its appeal to buyers who appreciate statistical outperformance; the home consistently ranks in the top 7% or higher of its immediate street, neighbourhood, and city across all metrics—from size and value to newness—indicating a standout, benchmark property in every category.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the basement finished?
No, the basement is present but unfinished. This represents both a future project and a significant opportunity for customization to suit a buyer's specific needs, whether for recreation, additional bedrooms, or a separate suite.
2. What does the lot size actually offer?
At over 21,000 sqft, the lot is a defining feature. It provides ample space for extensive landscaping, gardens, a large play area, or future additions like a detached workshop or sport court, all while maintaining considerable distance from neighbours.
3. Who is the typical buyer for this home?
Given its size, modern build, and premium rankings, it best suits established professionals or families looking for a long-term home with ample space for both private living and entertaining, and who value the efficiency and design of newer construction.
4. How does the "ranking" system work?
The rankings compare this property against others on its street, in Roblin Park, and across all of Winnipeg for specific traits (like lot size or age). For example, being in the "top 1%" for lot size in Winnipeg means 99% of city properties have a smaller lot, highlighting its rarity.
5. What is the potential here versus a fully renovated older home?
This property offers modern infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, insulation) and layout, avoiding the hidden costs and challenges often found in major renovations of older character homes. The value is in its contemporary foundation and the ability to put finishing touches, like the basement, exactly to your taste.
