Property Overview: 339 Island Shore Boulevard, Island Lakes
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This well-situated one-storey home in Island Lakes presents a balanced and practical offering. Its key characteristic is an exceptionally large, private lot—ranking in the top 4% on its street—providing ample outdoor space that is rare for the area. The home itself, built in 1993, is of average size for the neighbourhood but benefits from a renovated basement. Its assessed value is strong citywide, suggesting good underlying value.
The appeal lies in this combination of a generous, usable yard with a solid, updated home in a mature and established community. It suits buyers looking for a manageable single-level layout with immediate move-in readiness, but who prioritize outdoor potential over a maximized interior footprint. It’s an ideal match for downsizers, small families, or anyone seeking a private retreat close to parks and water, without the maintenance of a much larger house.
