Property Overview: 99 Nordstrom Drive, Island Lakes, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This two-storey home, built in 2007, offers a well-proportioned and updated living space in the established Island Lakes neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in its above-average size and recent renovations. With 2,101 sqft of living area, the home ranks in the top 13% for size on its own street and the top 8% within the wider neighbourhood, offering more space than most comparable properties. A key feature is the renovated basement, which adds significant functional space. The home sits on a standard lot for the area and includes an attached garage.
The property’s value proposition is underscored by its strong performance in key metrics. It ranks consistently above average for living area, assessed value, and year built not just locally, but also city-wide. A thoughtful perspective is that while the lot size is average for Island Lakes, the home itself is notably larger and newer than many in the community, suggesting the value is in the building's footprint and condition rather than the land itself.
This home would best suit buyers looking for a move-in ready, spacious family home in a mature suburban setting. It’s ideal for those who prioritize interior space and modern updates over a sprawling yard, and who appreciate a property that stands above its peers in terms of size and relative newness within an older neighbourhood.
