Property Overview
This one-storey home at 236 Ottawa Avenue in Winnipeg's Chalmers neighbourhood presents a practical and renovated living space. Its key appeal lies in being a well-maintained, post-war character home that offers modern livability without the premium price of newer or larger properties. The renovated basement adds valuable finished space, while the detached garage provides utility and storage. The lot size is generous for the area, offering above-average outdoor space compared to many city properties.
It is ideally suited for first-time homebuyers seeking an affordable entry into the market, or for downsizers looking for a manageable single-level layout with recent updates. Investors may also find it attractive as a stable rental property in an established neighbourhood. A thoughtful perspective is that, while the living area is modest by city-wide standards, its efficient layout and renovated basement make it feel more spacious than the square footage suggests. Furthermore, its above-average year of build for the immediate area indicates a potentially more solid foundation and fewer immediate major repairs than some neighbouring homes.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to others?
The land area of 3,002 sq ft is very typical for Ottawa Avenue and the wider Chalmers neighbourhood, ranking near the middle. However, it is significantly smaller than the city-wide average, which is common for mature, established communities.
2. Is the basement a legal suite?
The listing notes the basement is renovated but does not specify it as a legal secondary suite. Buyers should verify its current configuration and compliance with local regulations if considering rental income.
3. What does the assessed value indicate?
The assessed value is consistent with similar homes on the street and in Chalmers. Its lower value compared to the Winnipeg average reflects the home's size, age, and neighbourhood, not necessarily its condition, due to the recent renovations.
4. What are the implications of the home's age?
Built in 1947, the home is newer than many on its street and in Chalmers, which can be an advantage. However, prospective buyers should still pay close attention to the condition of major aging components like the roof, plumbing, and electrical systems during an inspection.
5. How does the living space feel for its size?
At 852 sq ft, the main floor living area is standard for the local area but below the Winnipeg average. The renovated basement effectively doubles the usable living area, making the overall footprint more comfortable than the main floor square footage alone implies.
