Property Overview: 23 Desjardins Drive, Island Lakes, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home in the established Island Lakes neighbourhood presents a solid, move-in-ready opportunity. Its key characteristics include 1,525 sqft of living space, a renovated basement, an attached garage, and a 6,167 sqft lot, built in 1989. The appeal lies in its balance and practicality. The home sits comfortably in the middle range for its immediate street and area in terms of size, value, and lot, suggesting it’s a typical and well-maintained property for the community. Notably, when viewed city-wide, its living space and lot size rank above average, indicating you get more room than in many other Winnipeg neighbourhoods for the assessed value.

It would suit buyers looking for a predictable, family-friendly environment without the premium of a brand-new build. It’s ideal for those who appreciate the mature landscaping and settled feel of a 1980s-90s subdivision, and who value a renovated basement as flexible living space from day one. A thoughtful perspective is that its "average" standing within Island Lakes could be a stability advantage, potentially insulating it from the wider market fluctuations that affect more outlier properties.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value compare to recent sale prices?
The home was last sold in June 2023 for an estimated range of $465,000 to $495,000. Its current assessed value is $432,000. It’s important to consult with a real estate professional to understand current market conditions and how assessment values relate to listing and sale prices.

2. Is the property typical for the Island Lakes area?
Yes, in many ways. Its living area, year built, and land area are all around the average for the Island Lakes neighbourhood, meaning it’s a representative home for this community. Its assessed value is slightly below the area average.

3. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope. A buyer should inquire about the quality of the renovation, the permits, and the finished layout to understand if it adds legal living space or primarily recreational and utility areas.

4. How does the lot size compare?
At 6,167 sqft, the lot is above average for Winnipeg overall. Within Island Lakes, it is around the typical size, offering standard suburban backyard space for the area.

5. Where can I find the exact historical sale price?
The exact sold price is not publicly displayed. The listing service offers to provide it manually via email upon request, stating they aim to reply by the end of the same day without using the contact for unsolicited marketing.
