Property Overview: 79 Huppe Bay, Island Lakes, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This two-storey home in Island Lakes offers a well-maintained, above-average living space of 1,830 sqft, placing it comfortably in the top tier for size both on its street and citywide. Its appeal lies in this spacious interior combined with a recently renovated basement, adding valuable finished square footage. The attached garage and a standard residential lot round out the practical features. Built in 1986, it is one of the newer homes on Huppe Bay, suggesting potentially fewer immediate major repairs compared to older peers in the immediate vicinity.
The home’s assessed value is consistent with the area, indicating a fair market positioning rather than being over-improved for the neighborhood. It suits buyers looking for a move-in-ready family home in a mature, established community who prioritize interior space and modernized living areas over a maximized lot size. A thoughtful perspective is that this property represents a "sweet spot" in its micro-market—offering more modern construction than many direct neighbors while still benefiting from the settled character and mature landscaping of the area.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living space truly compare to other homes?
At 1,830 sqft, the living area is notably larger than the average home on Huppe Bay (approx. 1,540 sqft) and the Winnipeg city average (approx. 1,342 sqft), placing it in the top 16% citywide for size.
2. Is the assessed value high for the area?
No, it is around average for both Huppe Bay and the broader Island Lakes neighborhood. Its assessed value of $47.60k ranks it in the middle tier locally, while being above average compared to the entire city.
3. What does the sold price history indicate?
The home sold in June 2023 for a price between $47.50k and $50.50k. This recent sale provides a clear, current benchmark for its market value.
4. The home was built in 1986. Is that a concern?
On Huppe Bay, a 1986 build date is actually in the top 5%, making it one of the newer homes on the street. This could be an advantage, but as with any home nearly 40 years old, the condition of major systems (roof, windows, HVAC) should be verified.
5. How does the lot size compare?
The lot is 5,413 sqft, which is around average for Island Lakes and the city. It is slightly smaller than the average lot on Huppe Bay itself (approx. 7,077 sqft), so buyers seeking extensive outdoor space may want to note this.
