Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a modest, well-situated one-storey home in Chalmers, built in 1950. Its primary appeal lies in its efficient use of space and its desirable location within the neighborhood context. The home sits on a standard 3,055 sqft lot, which is notably larger than most city lots and provides ample outdoor space relative to the home's footprint. A key feature is the renovated basement, adding valuable finished living area not reflected in the main floor square footage (644 sqft). The property includes a detached garage.

The home’s strongest suit is how it compares locally. While its size is below average citywide, it holds its own within Jamison Avenue and Chalmers, particularly in year built and land area. This suggests a well-established street with mature homes. The recent sale price and assessed value are consistently in the average range for the immediate area, indicating a stable, affordable entry point into the neighborhood.

This property would best suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a manageable, low-maintenance home with a good yard. It’s for someone who values location and land size over a large interior, and who sees potential in a home with a renovated basement and the character of an established community.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: The living area seems small. Is the house actually livable for a small family?
A: The 644 sqft refers only to the above-ground main floor. The renovated basement significantly expands the usable living space, making it more functional than the metric alone suggests.

Q: How does the lot size compare to others in Winnipeg?
A: The lot is a comfortable 3,055 sqft, which is larger than the average lot in the city. This is one of the property's standout features, offering more private outdoor space than many newer infill properties.

Q: The home was built in 1950. Should I be concerned about major repairs?
A: While the core structure is older, the renovated basement is a positive sign of updates. A thorough inspection is always recommended to assess the condition of major systems like roof, plumbing, and wiring.

Q: The assessed value is much lower than the citywide average. Does that mean it's in a less desirable area?
A: Not necessarily. Assessed values are heavily influenced by home size and type. This assessment is actually average for Chalmers, reflecting the neighborhood's market for modest, older homes. It indicates affordability within a stable community.

Q: Is the detached garage a standard feature here?
A: In older Winnipeg neighborhoods like Chalmers, detached garages are common. It provides useful storage or parking, though you'll need to consider maintenance on a separate structure.
