Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This two-storey home at 2 Nevens Bay in Canterbury Park presents a balanced offering for buyers seeking a modern, low-maintenance property in a well-established Winnipeg neighbourhood. Built in 2009, it is notably newer than most homes in the city and on its own street, suggesting updated building systems and less immediate need for major repairs. The home features a renovated basement and an attached garage.
Its appeal lies in this relative modernity combined with a standard, manageable lot size. The living space is compact yet efficient, coming in slightly below the average for the immediate street but aligning closely with typical sizes across Canterbury Park and Winnipeg overall. This positions the property as a practical, turn-key option rather than a sprawling estate. It would suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors looking for a contemporary home in a mature neighbourhood without the upkeep of an older property or a very large yard. The assessed value is above average for both the neighbourhood and city, indicating solid municipal valuation, though the last sale price in 2019 was around the citywide average at $380,000.
