Highlights & common questions: 39 Island Cove, Winnipeg

Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This two-storey home at 39 Island Cove in Winnipeg's Island Lakes neighbourhood presents a well-maintained, established family property. Its primary appeal lies in offering above-average space and value within a mature, sought-after community. With 1,971 sqft of living space, the home is larger than most in both the neighbourhood and the wider city. Key features include a renovated basement, an attached garage, and a private pool situated on a 6,726 sqft lot.

The home is ideally suited for buyers looking for a move-in ready property with room to grow, without the premium of a brand-new build. It particularly fits families or established professionals who value the mature landscaping and settled feel of a 1980s-built community like Island Lakes. A thoughtful perspective is that while the lot size is generous for the city, it is slightly smaller than others on its own street, suggesting a more manageable yard for upkeep. The home’s assessed value ranks highly compared to the area, indicating a solid investment in a desirable location.
