Highlights & common questions: 151 Desjardins Drive, Winnipeg

Property Overview

151 Desjardins Drive is a spacious, well-maintained two-storey home in Winnipeg's Island Lakes neighbourhood. Built in 1992, it features 1,846 sqft of living space, an attached garage, and a renovated basement. The property sits on a 5,283 sqft lot.

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home stands out for its above-average size and modern assessment value within its immediate area. The living space is notably larger than most comparable homes on Desjardins Drive and across Winnipeg, offering more room than many properties of its era. Its recently renovated basement adds immediate functional living space without the need for buyer investment. The appeal lies in this combination of move-in readiness, generous square footage, and a stable, established neighbourhood.

It would particularly suit growing families or professionals seeking space without the premium of a brand-new build. A thoughtful perspective is that while the lot size is average for the area, the above-average living area suggests an efficient use of the property footprint, prioritizing indoor space over extensive yard maintenance—a practical trade-off for many buyers. Its strong assessment value ranking on its own street indicates it is perceived as a solid asset within a desirable micro-location.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare to others in Island Lakes?
The home is above average in living area and assessed value for the entire city and its specific street. Within the broader Island Lakes neighbourhood, it ranks around average for assessed value and lot size, meaning it offers more interior space than many peers while being priced consistently with the area.

2. What is the exact recent sold price?
The provided data shows a sold price range from late 2024. For the precise sale figure, you can request the exact history via email from the listing source, which they provide manually.

3. Is the basement development legal and permitted?
The listing notes the basement is "renovated." It is always recommended for buyers to verify with their agent that any renovations have the proper city permits and comply with building codes.

4. What is the typical buyer for this street and area?
Desjardins Drive and Island Lakes typically attract families and long-term residents, drawn to the area's parks, schools, and community feel. This specific home, with its larger footprint, would appeal to those needing more space than the neighbourhood average.

5. How does the age of the home (1992) affect its value?
Built in 1992, the home is newer than the Winnipeg city average. This age often represents a sweet spot: major components may be newer than in much older homes, but the property is established within a mature neighbourhood with grown landscaping. It's advisable to have a standard inspection for a home of this age to assess the condition of the roof, windows, and mechanical systems.
