51 Lindenshore Drive

Property Overview: 51 Lindenshore Drive, Linden Woods

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home presents a compelling mix of location, value, and manageable scale. Its primary appeal lies in its position within the desirable Linden Woods neighbourhood, coupled with a city-wide assessment that suggests strong underlying value. At 1,603 sqft, the living space is notably comfortable by Winnipeg standards (ranking in the top 25% city-wide) but is more modest compared to its immediate, upscale street and area. This creates a unique profile: a home that offers the Linden Woods prestige and amenities without the footprint or maintenance of one of the neighbourhood's largest properties.

The lot size follows a similar pattern—generous compared to most of the city, yet smaller than many on Lindenshore Drive itself. Built in 2000, the home is well-established but not dated, sitting comfortably in the modern era of home construction. A key, less obvious perspective is the financial picture: while its assessed value is below average for its own street, it ranks in the elite top 5% across the entire city, indicating a premium asset in a broader context. This property would ideally suit downsizers seeking a premium neighbourhood without excess space, first-time buyers aiming for Linden Woods, or value-focused buyers who prioritize location and a solid foundation over sheer size.
