Property Overview
This 2019-built, two-storey home in Bridgwater Lakes offers a modern, low-maintenance lifestyle on a generous 6,213 sqft lot. Its key appeal lies in being a relatively new construction in a developed neighbourhood, meaning major systems are under warranty and the community is established. The home ranks highly for its newness compared to most of Winnipeg and the local area, and it sits on a lot larger than the majority on its street. With an attached garage and a full (though unrenovated) basement, it provides practical space for storage and future expansion.
It’s an ideal fit for first-time buyers or young families seeking a turnkey home without the uncertainties of an older property. The strong rankings for lot size and building age also make it a sensible choice for the value-conscious buyer who sees long-term potential in a desirable, newer suburb. A less obvious angle is its appeal to those who want community amenities and finished landscaping without the wait and risk of a brand-new development.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "Top X%" ranking actually mean?
It shows how this property compares to others in a specific category. For example, ranking "Top 4%" for year built in Winnipeg means it is newer than 96% of homes in the city, highlighting its modern condition.
2. The basement is listed as "not renovated." What should I expect?
This typically means the basement is unfinished. It has been built to code with foundation, flooring, and walls, but is a blank canvas—ideal for dry storage or future customization into living space, adding significant value.
3. How does the assessed value compare to the last sale price?
The current assessed value is $58,100, which is notably higher than its last sale price of $45,300 in January 2019. This increase reflects market appreciation and the added value of the now-completed home on the lot purchased at that time.
4. The living area ranks lower than the lot size and year built. Is the house small?
At 1,949 sqft, the living area is fairly standard. Its mid-tier ranking in the neighbourhood suggests it's an average-sized home for Bridgwater Lakes, but it's placed on a larger-than-average lot, which is a valuable asset.
5. Who would this property not suit as well?
Buyers looking for a fully finished basement ready for immediate use, or those seeking a uniquely large interior square footage, might need to budget for renovations or look elsewhere. Its strengths are in its lot, modern build, and community rather than maximized finished space.
