Property Overview: 54 Desjardins Drive, Island Lakes
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This bi-level home at 54 Desjardins Drive presents a practical opportunity in Winnipeg’s Island Lakes neighbourhood. Built in 1986, it features 1,257 sqft of living space, a renovated basement, and an attached garage on a 4,560 sqft lot. The data reveals a nuanced picture: while its living space and lot size are below average for its immediate street and area, they align more closely with city-wide averages. Its assessed value follows a similar pattern, positioned below area averages but around the middle compared to the entire city. This suggests the home may offer relative value within a desirable neighbourhood known for its lakes and parks.
The appeal here is grounded in accessibility. It suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking an entry point into a well-established, amenity-rich community without the premium of a larger, newer home. The renovated basement adds functional living space, a key update for a home of this age. A thoughtful perspective is that a smaller, well-placed lot can mean less maintenance, freeing up time and resources, while the home’s age places it in an era of straightforward construction. It’s a property for those who prioritize location and community over sheer size, with a footprint that encourages efficient living.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this home a good value for Island Lakes?
The data indicates its assessed value is below the average for both Desjardins Drive and the wider Island Lakes area. This could represent a value-oriented entry into the neighbourhood, though final market value will depend on condition, updates, and market trends.
2. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope. A prospective buyer should inquire about the quality of the renovation, permits, and the nature of the finished space (e.g., recreational room, additional bedroom).
3. How does the smaller lot size impact the property?
At 4,560 sqft, the lot is smaller than many in Island Lakes. This typically means less yard maintenance, which can be a benefit, but may also limit expansion possibilities or private outdoor space compared to neighbours.
4. The home is below area averages for size and value. Is that a concern?
Not necessarily. It reflects this specific home’s more modest scale. For the right buyer, this translates to a lower potential price point to access the neighbourhood’s amenities, schools, and natural features.
5. What are the implications of the home being built in 1986?
A 40-year-old home is likely to have seen some updates, like the basement renovation. Buyers should be prepared for potential age-related maintenance, such as the roof, windows, or major systems, which may be nearing or past their typical lifespan. A thorough inspection is advised.
