Property Overview
This two-storey home in Bridgwater Trails offers a modern, low-maintenance lifestyle in a sought-after neighbourhood. Built in 2015, its key appeal lies in its generous 6,813 sqft lot—a size that ranks in the top 23% on its street—providing ample private outdoor space that is less common in newer subdivisions. With 2,126 sqft of living area, the interior space is comfortably sized, ranking in the top 7% for Winnipeg, making it notably spacious for a home of this age.
The property suits buyers looking for a move-in ready, modern home without the immediate need for major renovations, though the basement is unfinished and presents a clear opportunity for customization and added value. Its consistent history of steady value appreciation, as shown through its sale history, will appeal to those seeking a stable investment in a well-regarded community. It’s an ideal fit for growing families or professionals who prioritize a large yard in a newer neighbourhood, and for buyers who see potential in personalizing an unfinished space over time.
