Property Summary: 7 Bittersweet Bay
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a 1956-built home with 1,132 square feet of living space on a 5,998-square-foot lot in Windsor Park. What stands out here is not any single extreme feature, but the combination of a high assessed value relative to the neighbourhood and a lot size that beats the citywide average.
The assessed value ranks in the top 15% within Windsor Park and top 20% on the street itself—noticeably above the neighbourhood average of $354,200. The lot is slightly larger than typical for the area, which matters if you value outdoor space or future expansion potential. The living area and year built are both around average for the street, meaning this isn’t a home that wows with size or newness, but it holds its own on value and land.
This property would suit a buyer who prioritizes solid land and existing value over trendy finishes or a recent renovation. It’s a good fit for someone who wants a home in a well-established neighbourhood with above-average assessed worth—perhaps pointing to good bones, recent upgrades, or a desirable location within Windsor Park. Buyers looking for a fixer-upper or a “blank slate” might also find the lot and position appealing, as the home itself is from the mid-1950s.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
The assessed value of $387,000 ranks in the top 20% on Bittersweet Bay and top 15% in Windsor Park. That’s notably above the neighbourhood average of $354,200, which may reflect recent improvements or a particularly desirable location within the area.
2. Is the lot size considered large for this area?
It’s around average for the street and neighbourhood, but above the citywide average. At 5,998 square feet, it ranks in the top 32% across Winnipeg. That’s a solid mid-sized city lot—not oversized, but bigger than many newer subdivisions offer.
3. How old is the home, and is that typical for Windsor Park?
Built in 1956, it’s slightly older than the neighbourhood average of 1961. That puts it in the older quarter of homes in Windsor Park, but it’s not unusual for the street, where the average build year is 1957. You’re buying into a mature area with established trees and character.
4. What does “around average” mean for the living area ranking?
At 1,132 square feet, this home is essentially in the middle of the pack on its street and slightly above the neighbourhood average of 1,091 square feet. It’s a modest but functional layout—not cramped, but not spacious by today’s standards.
