Property Overview
This single-storey home in Bridgwater Forest offers a practical layout on a large, nearly 6,000 sqft lot. Built in 2008, its key appeal lies in its established yet manageable size (1,496 sqft of living space) and the desirable, family-oriented community. The home features an attached garage and an unrenovated basement, presenting a straightforward canvas for its next owners.
Its strongest selling points are grounded in its lot size and location. The property ranks in the top third of Winnipeg for land area, offering more outdoor space than most city homes—a valuable and less replaceable asset than interior finishes. While the house itself is older than many in its immediate neighbourhood, this is balanced by its position in a sought-after, newer master-planned area. It would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for single-level living in a modern community without a premium price tag, or investors/value-seekers who see potential in the large lot and are comfortable with a home that may need gradual updates.
