Property Overview: 84 De La Seigneurie Boulevard, Island Lakes
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This four-level split home in Island Lakes presents a compelling mix of space, value, and potential. Its most defining feature is the exceptionally large lot—over 13,800 sqft—which ranks in the top 1-3% compared to neighbours and the wider city. This offers rare privacy and ample room for gardens, recreation, or future expansion. The living area (1,686 sqft) is comfortably above average for Winnipeg, providing generous interior space.
The home’s primary appeal lies in this land-to-value ratio. While the assessed value is modest relative to the neighbourhood, you acquire a property lot size that is now uncommon in newer developments. The renovated basement adds functional living space. It suits buyers who prioritize outdoor space over a brand-new build—perfect for families, gardeners, or those seeking a long-term property where the land itself is a key asset. It’s a practical choice for a buyer comfortable with a home from the late 1980s, seeing the structure as solid and the lot as the true long-term investment.
