Property Overview
75 Marine Drive is a well-established, spacious home in Winnipeg's Normand Park neighbourhood. Built in 2009, it offers modern construction within a mature setting. The home's primary appeal lies in its generous proportions—both the 2,046 sqft living area and the 8,399 sqft lot size are consistently above average when viewed on a city-wide scale. This creates a rare combination of a sizable, newer home on a larger-than-typical urban lot.
The property’s assessed value of $856k places it in an elite tier city-wide (top 2%), indicating a premium positioning. This suggests it’s not just the physical attributes, but also the location on Marine Drive that carries significant value. It suits buyers looking for move-in ready, substantial family homes who prioritize space and a established, desirable street over being in the very newest subdivision. It’s particularly suited for those who value a larger private outdoor area compared to many contemporary lots, without sacrificing modern home amenities.
A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents a "sweet spot" in terms of age: it’s new enough to avoid major immediate renovations common with older homes, but established enough that the neighbourhood landscaping and community feel are well-developed. Its value ranking significantly outstripping its size ranking in the area hints that the specific location and lot are key drivers of its worth.
