Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This home at 198 Foxmeadow Drive in Winnipeg's Linden Woods neighbourhood presents a compelling blend of space and established community. Its primary appeal lies in its generous, above-average proportions. With over 2,100 sqft of living area, it ranks in the top 8% on its own street and city-wide. The most standout feature, however, is the land itself—a 10,137 sqft lot that is the largest on Foxmeadow Drive (top 1%) and well above average for both the neighbourhood and the entire city. This offers exceptional outdoor space and potential.
Built in 1986, the home is of a mature vintage, typical for the immediate street but slightly older than the broader Linden Woods average. Its assessed value positions it as a premium property on its street and city-wide, supported by a solid sale in the $550k-$600k range in 2024, which performed well against market comparisons.
This property would best suit buyers who prioritize lot size and interior space over a brand-new build. It’s ideal for those seeking room for gardens, play, or expansion in a well-regarded, established area. It appeals to a buyer who sees value in a home that already has a proven, above-average performance in key metrics like lot size and living area within its community.
