Key Characteristics & Appeal

This one-and-a-half storey home, built in 1914, presents a practical opportunity in Winnipeg's Chalmers neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in a recently renovated basement, adding modern utility to a classic structure. With 1,045 sqft of living space, the home is notably roomier than many comparable houses on its street and within the immediate area, offering above-average interior space for the locale.

The property suits buyers with a clear vision. It’s a strong candidate for a first-time homebuyer or an investor looking for a character home with one major update (the basement) already completed. The below-average citywide land size and assessed value indicate a more accessible price point, but the home’s above-average living area for the street suggests efficient use of its footprint. It’s not a sprawling property, but rather a thoughtfully sized home for someone comfortable in an established, no-frills neighbourhood. A key, less obvious perspective is that its 1914 build date, while older, places it in a cohort of homes often featuring solid construction and simple, modifiable layouts, appealing to those who prefer classic charm over newer, sometimes more complex, builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does "renovated basement" typically mean in a home of this age?
In a 1914 home, this usually indicates essential updates have been made to below-ground living space, such as modern moisture control, flooring, lighting, and drywall. It’s wise to inquire about the scope, permits, and whether it includes a separate entrance or kitchenette.

2. How does the lack of a garage affect daily life and value here?
This is common for the area and era. Buyers should budget for street parking and consider the potential to add a shed or future parking pad if the lot allows, viewing the absence as a cost-saving factor at purchase.

3. The assessed value is significantly lower than the city average. Is this a concern?
Not necessarily. It primarily reflects the home’s modest size, age, and the generally lower property values in this specific part of the city compared to the Winnipeg-wide average. It often translates to correspondingly lower property taxes.

4. The home sold recently in 2022. What should I consider?
A sale just two years prior suggests a relatively quick turnaround. It’s prudent to ask why—was it an investment flip, a lifestyle change, or were there unresolved issues? A thorough inspection is especially recommended.

5. How does this home compare to others on the street?
The data shows it has more living area than most neighbours but sits on a smaller lot. This creates a dynamic of a home that feels spacious inside relative to the street, but with less outdoor space, prioritizing interior utility over yard size.
