Property Overview
This two-storey home at 289 Harbison Avenue W in Winnipeg's Chalmers neighbourhood presents a specific and practical value proposition. Built in 1974, it is notably newer than most homes on its street and in the immediate area. Its key feature is a renovated basement, adding functional living space to the 1,152 sqft main footprint. The home sits on a modest 2,129 sqft lot, which is smaller than typical for the city but common for the locale. With no garage or pool, it is a straightforward, low-maintenance property.
Its primary appeal lies in its affordability and modern foundation relative to its surroundings. The assessed value of $210k is significantly below the Winnipeg average, offering an accessible entry point into the market. The renovated basement increases its usable space, making it feel larger than the above-average living area suggests for the neighbourhood. This property would suit first-time buyers or practical investors seeking a functional home without the upkeep of an older character property or a large yard. It’s for those who prioritize a newer build date and interior updates over lot size or garage parking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the lot size impact this property?
A: The lot is compact (2,129 sqft), which means minimal exterior maintenance. However, it also limits potential for expansions like a large deck, garage, or addition. This is typical for the area but a consideration for buyers wanting significant outdoor space.
Q: The home sold for $18,100 in 2016. Why is the assessed value now $210k?
A: The 2016 sale price is extremely low and not reflective of a standard market transaction—it likely indicates a transfer between family members or a sale with existing conditions. The current assessed value is the relevant figure for market comparison and taxation.
Q: What does "newer than average" for the area really mean?
A: Most comparable homes in Chalmers were built around 1934. Being built in 1974 suggests potentially newer major systems (like plumbing and electrical) and less likelihood of the maintenance issues common in century-old homes, which is a distinct advantage.
Q: Is the lack of a garage a major drawback?
A: It depends on lifestyle. On-street parking is the norm here. For a single car or households comfortable with street parking, it may not be an issue. For those with multiple vehicles or who desire workshop/storage space, it's a significant factor to consider.
Q: Who might this property not suit?
A: It may not suit buyers looking for a historic character home, those who need extensive vehicle storage, or anyone wanting a large private garden. Its value is in its practicality and relative modernity, not in heritage charm or expansive outdoor space.
