Property Overview: 125 Shorecrest Drive, Linden Woods
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home is a study in established, above-average space within a sought-after neighbourhood. Built in 1984, it offers a generous 2,718 sqft of living area, which ranks comfortably above average for Winnipeg as a whole and is on par with other homes on Shorecrest Drive. The lot size of 8,863 sqft is a standout feature, providing ample outdoor space that is significantly larger than the typical city lot and even above the Linden Woods average. This combination positions the property as a spacious family home with room to grow or entertain.
Its appeal lies in a proven, mature location. Linden Woods is consistently desirable, and this property’s metrics confirm it offers more house and land than most in the city. The assessed value, while average for the immediate street, is notably above average for the neighbourhood, reflecting the area's premium. A less obvious perspective is that a home of this vintage in this location often presents a solid "value-add" opportunity; it sits on a prime lot in a finished neighbourhood, where updates can directly capitalize on the existing premium of the location and lot size.
This property would best suit buyers looking for established community charm, generous indoor and outdoor space, and the stability of a mature neighbourhood. It’s ideal for a family seeking room without moving to the far edges of the city, or for someone who values a large yard and sees potential in personalizing a well-located home.

The lot is larger than typical. At nearly 8,900 sqft, it exceeds the average lot size in Linden Woods and ranks in the top 9% for lot size across Winnipeg, offering more private outdoor space than most homes in the city.
3. What does the assessed value tell us?
The assessed value is around average for the immediate street but ranks in the top 14% within Linden Woods and the top 3% citywide. This indicates you are paying a premium for the established neighbourhood and the above-average attributes of the property compared to the wider market.
4. The home was built in 1984. What should I consider?
The build date is typical for the street but older than the average Linden Woods home.
