Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This one-storey home on Talbot Avenue is defined by its generous lot and its history. Built in 1907, it sits on a notably large 4,841 sqft parcel of land, which ranks well above average for both the immediate street and the broader Chalmers neighbourhood. The living space itself is modest at 788 sqft and includes an unrenovated basement and a detached garage. The property’s assessed value is relatively low, a pattern consistent with its recent sale price.

Its primary appeal lies in the land itself, offering significant potential for expansion, gardening, or future development in an established area. The low financial barrier to entry, evidenced by the assessed value and past sale prices, is a key factor. This property would best suit a value-conscious buyer looking for a large lot to build equity over time, such as a hands-on renovator, an investor considering a hold-and-develop strategy, or someone seeking an affordable entry into homeownership with room to grow. It’s less suited for those seeking a move-in-ready home or above-average interior space.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the city-wide average?
The assessed value reflects the property's specific characteristics—namely its older age, modest living area, and lack of renovation—within its market context. It is actually close to the neighbourhood average, indicating it is typical for the Chalmers area, which generally has more affordable property values compared to the Winnipeg-wide average.

2. What does "below average" for Year Built mean for me as a buyer?
It confirms the home is a true character property, built in 1907. This suggests potential for heritage charm but also necessitates careful inspection for updates to major systems like wiring, plumbing, and insulation. The older age is a primary contributor to its current valuation.

3. The land area is a top feature. What can I realistically do with it?
Beyond gardening or outdoor space, the large lot provides long-term options such as building a significant addition, a separate workshop, or even exploring subdivision potential (subject to city zoning bylaws and approvals). It’s the property’s main asset for future value increase.

4. How significant is the unrenovated basement?
This indicates a major project awaits. It likely needs moisture control, insulation, and finishing to become usable living or storage space. It represents both a current limitation and a clear opportunity to add value through a tailored renovation.

5. The sale price history shows a sharp drop from 2016 to 2022. What does that indicate?
This significant decrease likely reflects a change in the property’s condition or market factors at the time of the later sale. It underscores the importance of understanding the circumstances of that sale and getting a current, professional inspection to make an informed decision about its present state and value.
