Property Overview
This home at 18 Thurston Bay in Linden Woods is a well-established property built in 2002. Its key appeal lies in its strong positional value within a desirable neighbourhood. The 1,745 sqft house sits on a 5,346 sqft lot, presenting a balanced package that is above average for the city overall but offers a more manageable scale within its own prestigious area. It last sold in the 2017-2018 period.
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
The property’s standout characteristic is its relative modernity compared to the Winnipeg average, being newer than roughly 83% of city homes. In Linden Woods, a neighbourhood of larger, upscale homes, this house offers a more moderate footprint. This creates a distinct appeal: it provides full access to the community's amenities and prestige without the maintenance demands of one of the area's largest estates. Its assessed value is notably high city-wide (top 6%), yet is around the average for its own street and neighbourhood, suggesting you are paying for location and a solid asset in a stable market.
This home would ideally suit move-up buyers or downsizers seeking the Linden Woods address and a newer build, but who prioritize a manageable property size. It’s also a sensible choice for professionals valuing a premium community with good investment metrics, as the data indicates a property that holds its value strongly against both local and city-wide benchmarks.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s size compare to others in Linden Woods?
At 1,745 sqft, the living area is below the neighbourhood average. This means it is one of the more moderate-sized homes in the area, which can be an advantage for those seeking less space to maintain while still enjoying the community.
2. The assessed value seems high compared to the last sold price. What does this mean?
The current assessed value is a municipal valuation for tax purposes and reflects market estimates at a point in time. The sold price from 2017 is historical. The high city-wide assessment ranking (top 6%) indicates the property is considered a valuable asset, but the final market price is determined between a buyer and seller.
3. Is the lot size typical for the area?
The lot is just under 5,350 sqft, which is slightly below the average for Linden Woods but around the average for the city. On Thurston Bay itself, it's very close to the street average. This suggests a standard suburban lot for the street, but with more open space than many older city neighbourhoods.
4. What does the "above average" year built mean for a 2002 home?
While the home is 24 years old, it is newer than most homes in Winnipeg. This "above average" ranking city-wide is a positive indicator of a potentially newer roof, windows, and major systems compared to the typical older Winnipeg housing stock.
