Property Overview: 68 Surfside Crescent, Island Lakes, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home in the established Island Lakes neighbourhood offers a practical and comfortable living space. Its key features include a renovated basement, an in-ground pool, and a generous 1,784 sqft of living area, which is notably above average for Winnipeg overall. Built in 1989, the home is among the newer properties on its street. The lot is a standard size for the area at just under 6,000 sqft.
The appeal lies in its balance of space, updates, and recreational amenity within a mature community. The renovated basement adds flexible living or entertainment space, while the pool provides a private backyard retreat—a valuable feature for family summers. Its assessed value is consistently around the average for its immediate area, suggesting it is priced in line with local expectations.
This property would best suit buyers looking for a move-in ready family home in a settled suburb, particularly those who value having recreational space at home over a garage. It’s a strong option for someone seeking above-average interior space city-wide without venturing into a brand-new development. A thoughtful perspective: while the home ranks in the middle of the pack on its own street for several metrics, it offers the stability and predictability of a home that aligns with its community’s norms, which can be an advantage for long-term value.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
