Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This well-established Amber Trails bungalow, built in 1997, offers a practical and comfortable living space on a generous 6,156 sqft lot. Its key appeal lies in its balance of space, location, and recent updates. The 1,668 sqft home features a renovated basement and an attached garage, providing immediate move-in readiness. The lot size is notably above average for its street and neighbourhood, offering ample outdoor space.
The home’s statistical profile reveals a solid, middle-of-the-pack standing in its immediate area for size and value, but it ranks highly for its newer build year compared to much of Winnipeg. This suggests a structurally sound home in a mature, settled neighbourhood. It would suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable single-level layout, or investors looking for a stable property with rental potential (given its functional size and desirable bungalow style). The appeal is practical rather than luxurious, focusing on space, condition, and neighbourhood stability over high-end finishes.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the assessed value compare to the likely selling price?
The assessed value is $50,600, but this is for municipal tax purposes and is typically lower than market value. The last sale was in September 2020 for $43,500. Current market conditions and the renovated basement will be the primary drivers of the listing price.
2. Is the lot size a significant advantage?
Yes. At over 6,150 sqft, the lot is larger than more than half the properties on Verona Drive and ranks highly in the broader neighbourhood. This provides more private outdoor space than many comparable homes and is a less obvious, lasting value point as lots in newer developments tend to be smaller.
3. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope. This is a key question for a viewing, as it could range from updated flooring and paint to a fully developed legal suite or additional living space.
4. How does this home compare to others in Amber Trails?
Based on the provided comparisons, this 1997 bungalow is older than some newer builds on Amber Trail (e.g., 2013, 2014) but offers more living space than several and sits on a larger lot. It represents a more established, value-oriented option within the area compared to brand-new constructions.
5. What is the neighbourhood like for amenities and access?
Amber Trails is a mature community in northwest Winnipeg. While not listed here, typical amenities would include nearby parks, schools, and shopping plazas, with good access to major routes like the Perimeter Highway. Its high rank for "newer" build year city-wide suggests a relatively modern community infrastructure.
