Highlights & common questions: 262 Union Avenue W, Winnipeg

Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This one-and-a-half storey home, built in 1910, presents a practical opportunity in Winnipeg's Chalmers neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in a combination of a renovated basement, a detached garage, and a living space that is notably above average for its immediate street. With 1,040 sqft of living area, the home offers more interior space than many direct neighbours, while the 3,448 sqft lot provides a standard urban footprint for the area.

The property suits buyers looking for a character home with some modern updates, particularly those who value a functional basement space and the flexibility of a detached garage for storage or projects. Its relatively low assessed value points to an accessible entry point into the market. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home is older than most in the city, this is typical for the established Chalmers area, suggesting a neighbourhood with mature charm. The data indicates you're purchasing a home that is proportionally larger on the inside than its lot is on the outside compared to nearby houses, which could be an efficient use of space for the right buyer.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement has been renovated, but the specific finishes, ceiling height, and legal status (e.g., whether it's a legal suite) are not detailed. This would be a key point for your inspector and realtor to clarify.

2. How does the low assessed value affect property taxes?
A lower assessed value generally correlates with lower municipal property taxes. This can be a significant ongoing savings compared to homes with higher valuations, improving long-term affordability.

3. Is the detached garage in good condition and what are its dimensions?
The listing notes a detached garage but does not specify its size, condition, or whether it has power. This is an important feature to verify in person, as repair needs can vary greatly.

4. The home is older—what should I be mindful of?
Built in 1910, potential buyers should prioritize a thorough inspection focusing on foundational integrity, the age and condition of major systems (plumbing, electrical, roof), and historical updates to ensure they meet modern standards.

5. How does the living area compare practically?
While the 1,040 sqft living area is above average for Union Avenue W, it is close to the average for the broader Chalmers neighbourhood. This suggests the home offers comfortable, standard-sized rooms typical of the community, rather than being exceptionally large.
