Property Overview: 147 Desjardins Drive, Island Lakes, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home in Island Lakes offers a practical and spacious family layout. With nearly 2,000 square feet of living space, it ranks in the top 15% of the neighbourhood for size, providing ample room. The home is newer than most in Winnipeg, built in 1992, and features an attached garage and a full, unrenovated basement—presenting a blank canvas for future expansion or customization. Its assessed value is positioned above average city-wide, suggesting a solid foundation of value within the broader market.
The appeal lies in its above-average space within a well-established, family-oriented community. It suits buyers looking for a move-in-ready home with generous proportions, who may also value the potential to add their own touch to the basement over time. A thoughtful perspective is that while the lot size is average for the area, the efficient use of space is reflected in the living area ranking, which outperforms its lot size ranking. This indicates a home designed for living space over extensive yard maintenance, appealing to those seeking a balance.

5. What is the likely condition given its age?
Built in 1992, the home is newer than about 79% of Winnipeg homes.
