Property Overview
This two-storey family home in Ridgedale offers substantial space and established character on a large, quiet lot. Built in 1993, its key appeal lies in its generous proportions—both the nearly 3,000 sqft of finished living space and the quarter-acre lot are significantly larger than most Winnipeg homes. The property ranks in the top tier city-wide for both lot and living area size. With a finished basement and an attached garage, it provides practical, flexible space for family life, hobbies, or hosting. The home’s value is well-recognized, with a current assessed value that places it well above local and city averages.
It would best suit buyers looking for a move-in ready, spacious family home without the premium of a brand-new build. It appeals to those who prioritize indoor and outdoor room to grow over a modern, open-concept layout. The large yard is a standout for gardeners, children, or anyone seeking private outdoor space. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home is 30+ years old, its above-average rankings for size and value in a mature neighbourhood suggest it has been a well-maintained and competitive property within its market segment.
