Property Overview: 70 Henry Dormer Drive, Island Lakes
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a well-maintained, single-storey home built in 2003, offering a practical and modern layout within the established Island Lakes community. With 1,220 sqft of living space and a renovated basement, it provides comfortable, efficient living without the upkeep of a larger property. Its attached garage and newer construction age (ranking in the top 20% for the area) are significant practical benefits.
The appeal lies in its balance and value positioning. While the living area is more compact compared to immediate neighbors, this translates to lower utility costs and less maintenance. The assessed value of $470k is above the Winnipeg citywide average, indicating a solid investment in a desirable neighborhood, yet it sits around the average for Island Lakes itself. This suggests you're paying for the location and community amenities—like parks and pathways—rather than excessive square footage. It would suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or pragmatic investors seeking a turnkey home in a mature suburb. It’s for those who prioritize a modern, low-maintenance foundation in a good location over having the largest house on the street.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the size of this home compare to others in the area?
At 1,220 sqft, the living area is below the average for both Henry Dormer Drive and the wider Island Lakes neighborhood. This makes it one of the more compact options on the street, which is reflected in its ranking (49 out of 53 for living area on this specific street).
2. What does the assessed value tell us about this property?
The $470k assessment is above the Winnipeg citywide average, confirming the property’s value in a broader context. Within Island Lakes, however, it is around the neighborhood average. This indicates you are investing at the typical price point for this community.
3. Is the lot size a concern?
The land area of 4,505 sqft is below the Island Lakes average. This means a smaller yard, which could be a positive for those seeking lower outdoor maintenance. It is, however, consistent with the lot sizes found on this specific section of Henry Dormer Drive.
4. How recent are the renovations?
The listing confirms the basement has been renovated, but the exact date and scope of the work are not provided in the public data. This would be a key point to clarify with the seller or a viewing.
5. Where can I find the exact historical sale prices?
The provided sold price ranges are estimates from public data. The listing service offers to provide the exact sale prices via a manual email request, which they aim to fulfill by the end of the same business day.
