Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This one-and-three-quarter storey home on Harbison Avenue W is a property of notable contrasts. Its primary appeal lies in its generous 1,686 sqft of living space, which ranks in the top 3% for the Chalmers neighbourhood, offering significantly more room than most nearby homes. This makes it a standout for buyers seeking space without the premium of a newer build. The lot size is standard for the street, and the home features a detached garage and an unrenovated basement.
The home was built in 1909, meaning it carries the charm and solid construction of its era but also requires a buyer comfortable with the maintenance and potential updating of a century-old structure. Its assessed and recent sale values are very modest, especially when viewed citywide, positioning it as an accessible entry point or a strategic investment.
This property would best suit a practical buyer—perhaps a handy homeowner, an investor, or a family prioritizing interior square footage over a modern turn-key condition. It’s for someone who sees the value in the existing spacious footprint and is prepared to tailor the home to their needs over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does "one-and-three-quarter storey" mean for this home?
This style typically features a full main floor and a second floor where the roofline slopes into the walls, creating cozy, character-filled rooms with potentially lower ceilings in parts of the upper level. It's a classic Winnipeg design offering more space than a bungalow.
2. The assessed value seems very low. What does this indicate?
The low assessed value reflects the home's age, condition, and the modest values common in this specific area. It should not be confused with market value, as the recent sale price was slightly higher. This can mean lower property taxes, but it's also a clear indicator of the home's position as a value-oriented project property.
3. How significant is the living area being in the "top 3%" for the area?
It's a major advantage. It means you are getting a home with substantially more interior space than almost all neighbouring properties, which is a rare find in this price segment and offers flexibility for growing families or creating distinct living zones.
4. What are the implications of the unrenovated basement?
This presents both a project and an opportunity. While it will require investment to finish, it also allows the next owner to design the space to their exact specifications without paying a premium for someone else's renovations. Ensure a thorough inspection for foundational and moisture issues common in older homes.
5. The home is older than most on the street. Should I be concerned?
It requires a specific mindset. A 1909 home has enduring quality but will have ongoing maintenance needs—from windows and wiring to plumbing and insulation. It appeals to those who appreciate classic construction and are budgeting for stewardship, not just mortgage payments. A comprehensive inspection is essential.
