Property Overview
This two-storey home at 67 Nevens Bay in Canterbury Park is a property defined by its above-average space and modern foundation. Built in 2009, it sits on a large 7,559 sqft lot, offering significant outdoor potential. With 2,273 sqft of living space, the interior is notably spacious compared to most homes in the neighbourhood and city. Key features include an attached garage and a basement (unrenovated). The home recently sold for $530,000.
Its primary appeal lies in the combination of a newer build, generous lot size, and substantial interior square footage—a trio that can be hard to find. It suits buyers looking for a move-in-ready, modern home with room to grow, both inside and out. The unrenovated basement presents a clear opportunity for future customization, appealing to those who want to add value or create tailored spaces like a home gym, theatre, or suite. It’s an ideal fit for growing families or anyone who prioritizes space and a blank-slate project over a fully finished, turn-key property.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the lot size compare practically?
At over 7,500 sqft, the lot is significantly larger than the average in Canterbury Park. This means more room for gardening, play structures, patios, or future additions like a shed or detached garage, offering a suburban feel within the city.
What does "Elite" or "Top X%" ranking mean for living area?
The home ranks in the top 1% for living area within Canterbury Park. Simply put, very few homes in the entire neighbourhood offer as much interior space, making it a standout for those needing multiple living areas, larger bedrooms, or home office space.
Is the assessed value the same as the sale price?
No. The assessed value (for municipal tax purposes) is listed at $55.40k, while the home sold for $530,000. The sale price reflects the current market value, which is always the more relevant figure for buyers and sellers.
What are the implications of the basement being "not renovated"?
The basement is functional but unfinished. This is a key cost consideration, as completing it to a living standard requires a significant investment. However, it also allows the next owner to design the space to their exact needs without paying a premium for someone else’s finished work.
How does the 2009 build year benefit a buyer?
A home built in 2009 is likely to have modern building codes, materials, and systems (like wiring and plumbing). This can mean greater energy efficiency, fewer immediate repairs, and less worry about major outdated components compared to much of Winnipeg’s older housing stock.
