Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home is a classic one-and-a-half storey property built in 1914, offering 1,120 sqft of living space on a 2,752 sqft lot in the Chalmers neighbourhood. Its key features include a detached garage and a basement that is present but not renovated. The appeal of this property lies in its position as a practical, no-frills entry point into the Winnipeg market. With a recently sold price of $210,000 and a notably low assessed value, it presents a clear value proposition for budget-conscious buyers.

The home suits first-time buyers, investors, or handy individuals looking for a straightforward project. Its living area is above average for Chalmers, offering decent space for the price, while the lot size is manageable. A thoughtful perspective is that this property represents a "blank canvas" opportunity. Its unrenovated state and lower price point allow a new owner to add value incrementally according to their own taste and budget, without paying a premium for someone else’s potentially dated renovations. It’s a home for those who see potential in fundamentals: a solid location, a functional layout, and the freedom to customize over time.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the true condition of the basement?
The listing explicitly states the basement is "not renovated." Buyers should anticipate a utility or storage space in original condition, likely requiring inspection for moisture, insulation, and foundational integrity before considering any future development.

2. How does the low assessed value impact property taxes?
A lower assessed value typically results in lower municipal property taxes compared to similar-sized homes with higher assessments. This is a tangible, ongoing financial benefit for the owner.

3. Is the $210,000 sale price consistent with the area?
The data shows this sale price was around average for the immediate street and neighbourhood in late 2023, but below the city-wide average. This indicates you are paying a neighbourhood-appropriate price, not an inflated one.

4. What are the implications of the home's age (1914)?
While the structure has proven its durability, a home of this age requires a diligent inspection. Focus should be on core systems: wiring, plumbing, heating, and the roof. Original charm is often present, but modern updates may be needed.

5. Who might this property NOT suit?
It is likely not ideal for buyers seeking a turn-key, modern home or those unable to handle any maintenance or cosmetic projects. The unrenovated basement and age of the property mean some level of ongoing investment or tolerance for imperfections should be expected.
