Property Overview
This two-storey home at 138 Edmund Gale Drive in Canterbury Park presents a compelling blend of space and established location. Built in 2006, it sits on a standard-sized lot but distinguishes itself with a generous living area of nearly 2,000 sqft, which is notably above average for its street, neighbourhood, and the city overall. Key features include an attached garage and a basement (unrenovated), with no pool. Its appeal lies in offering more interior square footage than many comparable homes, providing room to grow without the premium often attached to newer builds. The property would suit buyers looking for a family-sized home in a mature, settled area, who prioritize move-in-ready space and are potentially open to future basement development. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home is newer than the city average, it is actually among the older on its own street, suggesting a well-established streetscape with minimal future construction disruption.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare?
The land area of 4,637 sqft is around the average for both Edmund Gale Drive and the wider Canterbury Park area. It provides a standard suburban yard space.
2. Is the home newer or older than its neighbours?
Built in 2006, the home is slightly older than the average house on its specific street but is newer than the average home across Winnipeg. This positions it in a mature pocket of a generally established neighbourhood.
3. What does the "above average" living area mean in practice?
With 1,971 sqft of living space, this home ranks in the top 10-12% compared to peers on its street, in Canterbury Park, and citywide. You are getting significantly more interior space than is typical for the area.
4. What was the last sale price?
The property last sold in September 2022 for $530,000, a price that was in the top 10-15% of sales for its area at that time, reflecting the premium for its larger living area.
5. Does a higher assessed value mean higher taxes?
Not directly. The assessed value of $50.70k (where 'k' represents a thousand) is a relative valuation used for comparison. Your actual property taxes are calculated by applying the municipal tax rate to the full assessed value, which is not the figure shown in these comparative rankings.
