Property Overview: 133 Bonaventure Drive E, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home in Fraipont is defined by its generous scale and modern age. Built in 2020, it offers nearly-new construction benefits without the premium often attached to brand-new builds. The living space of 1,851 sq ft is comfortably above average for both the neighbourhood and the wider city, providing ample room for families.
The property’s most distinctive feature is its land. The lot of over 13,000 sq ft is exceptionally large, ranking in the top 1% for its immediate area. This offers significant private outdoor space, rare for a newer home, and presents a clear opportunity for gardening, recreation, or future expansion. The home includes a basement and an attached garage, but note the basement is not renovated and there is no pool.
Its appeal lies in this combination of a contemporary, low-maintenance home with the expansive, established lot size typically found on older properties. It would suit a growing family seeking move-in-ready modern comforts with plenty of yard space for children and pets, or a buyer who values long-term potential and privacy over a fully finished basement.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the basement finished?
No, the basement is not renovated. This presents a blank canvas for future development to suit a buyer’s needs, but requires budgeting for any desired finishing.
2. How does the assessed value compare to the last sale price?
The home was sold in September 2020 for between $475,000 and $505,000. Its current assessed value is $563,000. This increase reflects market movement and the home’s maturation from a new build to an established property.
3. What does the "Elite" ranking for the lot size mean?
It means this property’s land area is larger than over 99% of comparable homes on its street and in Fraipont. You are getting a lot size that is very uncommon for a home of this age and type.
4. What are the potential drawbacks of a large lot?
While offering privacy and space, a lot of this size requires more time and effort for landscaping and maintenance compared to a standard suburban lot. Utility costs for watering or snow clearing may also be higher.
5. Why is the Year Built ranking "Elite" on the street but only "around average" in Fraipont?
This indicates that while the home is one of the newest on Bonaventure Drive E (top 5%), the broader Fraipont neighbourhood has many other homes built around the same time, making its 2020 build date less exceptional in that wider context.
