Property Overview
This 2009-built home on a spacious lot in Amber Trails presents a well-maintained and modern living space. Its key appeal lies in its balance of established neighbourhood charm and contemporary build quality. The home features a renovated basement and an attached garage, situated on a lot size that ranks in the top 20% for its street, offering more outdoor space than many nearby properties. Its recent 2021 sale price significantly exceeded its current assessed value, indicating strong market confidence at that time.
The property would suit practical buyers looking for a move-in ready home in a mature, family-friendly suburb without the concerns of an older structure. It’s particularly appealing to those who value a larger lot for gardening or outdoor activities, and to owners who appreciate the low-maintenance benefits of a home built in the late 2000s. A less obvious angle is its potential for buyers attentive to municipal valuation; the notable gap between the last sale price and the current assessed value may be a point of discussion for property tax considerations.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to others in the area?
The 5,740 sqft land area is notably larger than most on the same street, ranking in the top 81%. This provides more private outdoor space than many comparable homes in Amber Trails.
2. The home sold for $650k in 2021, but is assessed near $57k. Why the large difference?
The assessed value is for municipal tax purposes and is not an indicator of market value. The 2021 sale price is a true reflection of its recent market worth, showing it was a top-tier sale in the neighbourhood at that time.
3. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the finishes or layout. This would be a key detail to clarify with the seller or listing agent to understand the quality and scope of the renovation.
4. Is the home newer than others nearby?
Yes. Built in 2009, it is newer than 96% of the homes on Moldan Bay and 86% of homes across Winnipeg, offering modern construction standards and likely newer major systems.
5. How does the living space compare to similar homes?
At 1,874 sqft, the living area is above average for Winnipeg but closer to the median for its immediate street and neighbourhood. It suggests a comfortable size, though not the largest available in the area.
