Property Overview: 130 Ebb Tide Drive, Island Lakes
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-maintained home, built in 2005, offers a practical and modern living space in the established Island Lakes neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in its balance of a newer build, a renovated basement, and a manageable size. With 1,462 sqft of living space, it is a comfortably sized home that stands out on its street for being one of the newest constructions. The attached garage and renovated basement add functional living and storage space.
The property’s assessed value positions it as a strong value proposition city-wide, offering more modern amenities than the average Winnipeg home. It suits first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a low-maintenance, move-in-ready home without the premium price tag of a brand-new build. It also appeals to value-conscious buyers who prioritize a newer roof, windows, and major systems, wanting to avoid the immediate update costs often associated with older homes. A thoughtful perspective: while the lot is smaller than many in Island Lakes, this translates to less yard maintenance, which can be a desirable feature for busy professionals or those seeking a lock-and-leave lifestyle.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare in size to others in the area?
At 1,462 sqft, the living area is slightly below the average for both Ebb Tide Drive and the wider Island Lakes neighbourhood, but it is very close to the city-wide average. This indicates a efficient, manageable floor plan.
2. What does the "above average" city-wide assessed value mean?
It means this home’s assessed value is higher than about 80% of all Winnipeg homes. This typically reflects a combination of its newer age, condition, and desirable neighbourhood relative to the broader market of older city homes.
3. Is the smaller lot size a concern?
The land area is smaller than most lots in Island Lakes but is near the city average. It provides a private outdoor space with the benefit of reduced upkeep. The trade-off is less yard space for gardening or play, but more time for other activities.
4. What is the significance of the home’s age ranking?
Being in the top 3% for year built on its street means it is one of the newest homes in the immediate vicinity. This often suggests more contemporary building materials, energy efficiency, and less likelihood of near-term major replacements.
