Its key characteristic is its above-average living space (1,765 sq ft) compared to both the immediate neighbourhood and the wider city, providing ample room for a growing or established family. The home features an attached garage and an unfinished basement, presenting a clear opportunity for future customization and added value.
The appeal lies in its balance of modern construction and established community. As one of the newest homes in the Island Lakes area, it offers contemporary living in a mature, sought-after neighbourhood with full amenities.
