Key Characteristics, Appeal & Ideal Buyer

This one-and-a-half storey home, built in 1913, presents a straightforward opportunity in Winnipeg's Chalmers neighbourhood. Its key characteristics are defined by modest, efficient dimensions: an 836 sqft living area on a 2,640 sqft lot, with no basement, pool, or garage. The home last sold in August 2021 for $160,000, and its current assessed value is notably low at $14,200.

The appeal lies primarily in its position as an affordable entry point into the housing market. It suits a specific type of buyer: first-time purchasers or investors seeking a low-cost footprint with renovation potential, or those comfortable with a compact, manageable living space. A less obvious perspective is its statistical positioning. While the home is below city-wide averages, it is consistently "around average" for its own street and neighbourhood in terms of living area and age. This suggests it's a typical, unassuming property for the immediate area rather than an outlier, offering a stable, no-frills option in a familiar local context.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the recent sale price?
Assessed values in Manitoba are for municipal tax purposes and are not intended to reflect current market value. The 2021 sale price is a more accurate indicator of its recent market worth, while the low assessment could indicate potential for higher property taxes in the future as assessments catch up.

2. What are the implications of having no basement?
This limits storage and mechanical system space (furnace, water heater), which are typically housed in a basement. It may also restrict renovation options. Buyers should consider where utilities are located and plan for alternative storage solutions.

3. The home is over 110 years old. What should I be most concerned about?
While the structure has proven its longevity, primary concerns for a home of this age typically include the condition of the foundation, the roof, the electrical wiring, and the plumbing. A thorough inspection is essential to identify any outdated materials or systems needing upgrade or repair.

4. How does the lot size compare, and what does it allow?
At 2,640 sqft, the lot is smaller than both the neighbourhood and city averages. It provides a modest outdoor space but may limit additions or extensive landscaping. It aligns with the home's overall theme of efficient, low-maintenance living.

5. The "one-and-a-half storey" design usually means a second floor with sloped ceilings. How does this affect the living space?
This typically indicates that the upper floor is contained within the roofline, creating cozy but potentially limited headroom in parts of the second level. It efficiently uses the building's footprint but results in a different spatial feel than a full two-storey home.
