Property Overview
This two-storey home at 75 Myles Robinson Way in Winnipeg's Island Lakes neighbourhood presents a specific and compelling value proposition. Built in 1989, it features 1,839 sqft of living space and a renovated basement on a 6,390 sqft lot. The home does not have a garage or pool.
Its appeal lies in its positioning as a spacious, established home in a desirable area, but with a character that differs from its immediate street. While its living area and lot size are below average for Myles Robinson Way itself, they are above average for both the broader Island Lakes area and the city as a whole. This suggests a property that offers more room than many city homes, within a mature neighbourhood, but potentially at a more accessible point than some larger lots on the same street. The renovated basement adds functional living space.
This property would suit buyers looking for a home with ample square footage in a well-regarded neighbourhood, who may prioritize interior space over having an exceptionally large yard or a garage. It could be a practical fit for a family seeking value in Island Lakes, or for someone moving from a smaller home elsewhere in the city who wants to upgrade their living area without moving to the outer suburbs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the assessed value the same as the market value?
No. The assessed value (listed as $50.40k) is for municipal tax purposes only and is typically much lower than the actual market value. Recent sold price data for this home indicates a market value in the $500,000+ range.
How does this home compare to others on the street?
The data shows this home is on a street of relatively large properties. Compared to its direct neighbours, it has a smaller lot and living area. This can be an advantage for buyers seeking the Island Lakes location but with less yard maintenance, and it may contribute to a more competitive asking price.
What does "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the details. A prospective buyer should clarify the finish quality, the presence of proper permits, whether it includes a bedroom or bathroom, and if any moisture issues were addressed during the renovation.
Why is the sold price history given as a range?
The public property records used for the sold history often mask the exact figure for privacy. The provided range is based on this public data. The listing service offers to provide the exact sold price via email upon request to give serious buyers accurate historical context.
Is the lack of a garage a significant drawback?
This depends on the buyer's needs. The home has driveway space for parking. For some, a garage is non-negotiable for vehicle protection or storage. For others, the trade-off for more affordable entry into a larger home in Island Lakes may be acceptable, with the potential to add a garage later if the lot permits.
