Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This well-maintained, one-storey home in Amber Trails offers a practical and comfortable living space. Its key appeal lies in a combination of a renovated basement, a detached garage, and a generous, nearly 5,000 sqft lot, providing room and flexibility. Built in 1988, the home is newer than many in the broader area, and its living area ranks within the top 30% for size across Winnipeg, offering above-average interior space for its style.
The property’s history shows consistent value appreciation, with a notable sale in late 2021. Its current assessed value sits in the top tier for its immediate street. The home suits first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a manageable single-level layout with a finished basement for extra living space. It also appeals to value-conscious buyers who prioritize a larger lot and a home that is updated and move-in ready over a brand-new build. A less obvious point is its positioning: it offers the established feel of the Amber Trails/Maple Ridge area while being a newer property within that context, potentially meaning fewer major maintenance concerns compared to older neighbouring homes.
