Property Overview: 174 Ebb Tide Drive, Island Lakes
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home in Island Lakes presents a compelling blend of space, modern age, and lot size. Built in 2005, it is newer than most homes in Winnipeg, ranking in the top 3% for its year of construction on its own street. The nearly 2,000 sqft of living area is comfortably above average for the neighborhood and city, offering ample room for family life. A standout feature is the land itself—at approximately 9,450 sqft, the lot is notably larger than most in the immediate area, ranking in the top 4% on Ebb Tide Drive. This provides valuable outdoor space and potential. The home includes an attached garage and a basement (not renovated), positioning it as a solid canvas for personalization rather than a move-in-ready showcase.
Its appeal lies in its above-average metrics across the board for a buyer seeking a well-sized family home in a established neighborhood, without the maintenance concerns of an older property. It would particularly suit a buyer who values a generous private yard and sees potential in a functional basement space to finish to their own taste. The assessed value is above average, suggesting a premium for the lot size and newer construction, making it a candidate for those prioritizing long-term value and space over immediate, top-tier finishes.
