Property Overview: 153 Lindenwood Drive E, Linden Woods, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home on Lindenwood Drive E presents a compelling mix of space, land, and established value. Its key characteristic is the generous, nearly 10,000 sqft lot, which ranks in the top 1% for size on its own street. This offers significant outdoor potential, rare for the neighbourhood. The living space of over 2,600 sqft is also substantial, placing it well above average for both the street and the wider city.
The appeal lies in this combination of a large, mature property with a home that offers ample interior space in the sought-after Linden Woods area. While the home itself is from the mid-1980s, its assessed value is elite for the street, suggesting well-maintained or updated features. It suits buyers looking for a long-term family home where the lot itself is a major asset—ideal for gardening, recreation, or future expansion. It would also appeal to value-conscious purchasers who see the benefit of an older home in a premium location, where the land represents a significant portion of the equity and future potential.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "Elite" ranking for Land Area actually mean?
It means this property's lot size of 9,667 sqft is larger than 99% of the other 296 homes on Lindenwood Drive E. You are getting one of the largest parcels in the immediate area.
2. The home was built in 1985. Should I be concerned?
The year built is older than the average on the street. This typically means you should pay close attention to the condition of major systems (roof, windows, HVAC) and interior finishes during a viewing. However, its high assessed value relative to neighbours suggests it has been well-kept or updated.
3. How reliable is the sold price range shown for 2021?
The range (CA$650k–700k) is based on available public data. For the exact sale price, you must request it directly via the provided email service. This is a common practice to ensure accuracy, as not all sale details are fully public.
4. Who would this property not suit?
It may not suit buyers seeking a brand-new, low-maintenance home or those who prefer a smaller, more manageable yard. The older home era also suggests layouts or room sizes that might differ from modern open-concept designs.
5. The assessed value seems high for a 1985 home. Why?
Assessed value for tax purposes considers more than just the building's age. The exceptionally large lot size in a desirable neighbourhood and the above-average living area are major factors that drive its assessed value into the top tiers locally.
