113 Shorecrest Drive

Property Overview: 113 Shorecrest Drive, Linden Woods

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a well-established, spacious family home in the desirable Linden Woods neighbourhood. Built in 1985, the property sits on a large, private lot of over 12,500 sq ft and offers nearly 2,900 sq ft of living space. Its appeal lies in its generous proportions and prime location. While the home itself is of an average size and value for Shorecrest Drive, its lot size and living space are considered elite when compared to the broader Linden Woods area and the entire city. This creates a compelling value proposition: you acquire a property with neighbourhood-standard home on a lot that is significantly larger than most in Winnipeg.

The home would best suit a family or buyer looking for space, privacy, and a mature setting within a top-tier community. It’s ideal for those who value a substantial yard over a brand-new build and understand the value of land in a sought-after area. A thoughtful perspective is that this property represents a balance—it’s not the largest or newest house on its street, but it holds its own while offering a land asset that is increasingly rare. For the right buyer, this provides a solid foundation in an elite neighbourhood with the potential to renovate or expand over time.
