Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home in Island Lakes offers a spacious and above-average living area of 1,975 sqft, placing it comfortably in the top 10-15% of homes in its immediate area and across Winnipeg. Built in 1988, it is a well-established property in a mature neighbourhood. A key feature is its renovated basement, adding functional living space. The home sits on a standard lot for the area, just under 6,000 sqft. Notably, its assessed value consistently ranks above average, suggesting it is a substantial property within its market segment.

The appeal lies in its combination of size, established location, and modernized lower level. It suits buyers looking for a ready-to-move-into family home in a settled community without needing immediate major renovations. It’s particularly well-matched for those who prioritize interior space over extravagant lot size or newer construction. A thoughtful perspective is that while it lacks a garage, its above-average metrics in a family-oriented neighbourhood like Island Lakes indicate it delivers on the core priorities of space and location, which often outweigh the absence of certain amenities for many buyers.
