Property Overview
189 Poplar Avenue is a compact, one-storey home built in 1930, situated on a generous 5,084 sqft lot in Winnipeg's Chalmers neighbourhood. Its key feature is a renovated basement, adding functional living space to the 816 sqft main floor. The property includes a detached garage.
The home’s primary appeal lies in its balance of a sizable, usable lot with a manageable and updated living footprint. It stands out in its immediate area for having above-average land space for Chalmers, offering room for gardening, play, or expansion, while the renovated basement provides immediate extra room without the need for a large, high-maintenance house. The assessed value is notably above average for the neighbourhood, suggesting the renovations and lot size are recognized assets.
This property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers looking for a low-maintenance home with outdoor space and modernized basics. It’s also a practical candidate for land-value investors or those with long-term plans who appreciate the potential inherent in a large lot relative to the home's current size.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the renovated basement a legal suite?
The listing notes a renovated basement but does not specify it as a legal, rentable suite. Buyers should verify its compliance with local codes and zoning regulations if considering rental income.
How does the sale price compare to the assessed value?
The home last sold for $210k in 2017, which is significantly higher than its current assessed value of $24.6k. This large discrepancy is typical, as municipal assessed value for tax purposes is not an indicator of market value. The sale price from 2017 is a more relevant historical benchmark.
What does the "above average" land size in Chalmers mean practically?
With a lot size ranking in the top 10% for the neighbourhood, you get more private outdoor space than most homes in the area. This is a relative luxury in an established community, perfect for those who value a larger yard.
Given the home's age, what should I be mindful of?
Built in 1930, the core structure is nearly a century old. While the basement has been renovated, potential buyers should pay special attention to the condition of major aging components not mentioned as updated, such as the roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and the foundation.
Why is the living area considered below average?
With 816 sqft on the main floor, the living space is compact compared to many modern homes. However, the renovated basement effectively expands the usable area. This layout appeals to those who prefer efficient, cozy main-floor living with the bonus of flexible underground space.
