Property Overview: 189 Chalmers Avenue, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a compact, one-storey home built in 1906, situated on a standard-sized lot in the Chalmers neighbourhood. Its key features include a renovated basement and a living area of just under 950 sq ft, which is typical for homes on its street and in the immediate area. The data reveals a property that is very much in the middle of the pack locally: its lot size, living space, and assessed value all rank around the average when compared directly to its Chalmers neighbours. This creates a grounded, predictable profile within its community context.
The appeal lies in its position as an affordable entry point into the Winnipeg market, particularly for a stand-alone house. The renovated basement adds functional space, which is a significant asset in a smaller home. It would suit first-time buyers, investors, or downsizers who prioritize location and practicality over size or modern builds. A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents the "fabric" of its neighbourhood—it's not an outlier in price or size, suggesting stability and a lack of over-improvement relative to the area. Its century-old character comes with the understanding that maintenance and updates are part of the journey, appealing to those who see potential rather than just finished product.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the assessed value an accurate reflection of the likely sale price?
While the assessed value is around $23k, recent sale prices (2022: $20.5k, 2017: $19.5k) suggest the market value has been consistently lower. It's essential to get a current market evaluation, as assessed value is for taxation and often differs from fair market value.
2. What does the "renovated basement" entail?
The listing notes a renovated basement but provides no details on the scope, quality, or permits. A prospective buyer should clarify what work was done, when, and by whom, and verify if it added legal living space or simply improved the utility area.
3. How does the age of the home (1906) impact ownership?
Built 120 years ago, this home is among the oldest in Chalmers and Winnipeg. This typically means potential for character but also a higher likelihood of aging infrastructure (like original plumbing or wiring) needing attention. A thorough inspection is crucial.
4. The home has no garage. What are the parking options?
The property listing indicates no garage. Buyers should verify if there is a dedicated driveway, a rear lane access for parking, or if parking is on-street only, and inquire about any associated permits or restrictions.
5. How does this property compare to the wider Winnipeg market?
While its size and value are average for Chalmers, they are below the Winnipeg city-wide averages. This highlights that it sits in a more affordable neighbourhood segment, offering a house at a price point that might only secure a condo in other city areas.
