Key Characteristics & Buyer Appeal

This two-storey home, built in 1914, presents a compelling opportunity centered on space and value within the Chalmers neighbourhood. Its primary strength is its generous 1,920 sqft of living area, which ranks in the top 2% of homes in the local area, offering significantly more interior space than most neighbouring properties. The lot size is also notably above average for the street and neighbourhood. While the home retains its original, unrenovated basement, this allows a buyer to customize the space to their own needs. The most recent sale in 2022 was at $290,000, a price point that performed well above average for the immediate area.

The appeal here lies in securing a character home with ample room at an accessible entry point. It suits a practical buyer who values interior square footage over move-in-ready finishes—ideal for a handy homeowner looking to gradually put their own stamp on a property, or for a household needing space without the premium price tag of a fully updated home. A less obvious perspective is its relative "efficiency": you're acquiring a land and living area footprint that is elite for Chalmers, but at a price tier common for much smaller homes in Winnipeg, making it a strategic play for long-term value in the lot and structure itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does "basement, not renovated" mean?
It indicates the basement is in its original, functional state. It is likely unfinished or partially finished with older materials, and would require updating to modern standards. This should be factored into renovation plans and budgets.

2. How does the assessed value relate to the likely market price?
The municipal assessed value for tax purposes ($30,900) is not an indicator of market value. Market value is better reflected by the 2022 sale price of $290,000 and current local comparisons. Assessments are typically much lower than market value in Winnipeg.

3. The home is over 100 years old. What should I consider?
While the structure has proven durable, a pre-purchase inspection is essential. Focus on the foundation, roof, wiring, plumbing, and heating systems. An older home can be solid, but budgeting for ongoing maintenance and potential updates to major systems is prudent.

4. There's no garage. Is that typical for the area?
Yes, the lack of a garage is common for homes of this era in this neighbourhood. The property does have a large lot, which may offer potential for adding off-street parking or a garage in the future, subject to local bylaws and permits.

5. The rankings show the living area is in the top 2% for Chalmers. What does that practically offer?
This means the home provides rare interior space for this specific neighbourhood. It translates to potentially larger rooms, more bedrooms, or more flexible living areas compared to most nearby homes, which is a significant advantage for growing families or those needing home office or recreational space.
