Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This one-and-a-half storey home, built in 1922, is a classic Winnipeg character property situated on a standard-sized lot in Chalmers. Its primary appeal lies in its generous living space—at 1,171 sqft, it is notably larger than many comparable homes on its street and in the immediate area. The home features a detached garage and an unrenovated basement, presenting a straightforward canvas. Its assessed value is modest relative to the wider city, but it sits above average for the neighbourhood, suggesting a solid foothold in a stable community.

This property would suit a practical buyer who values space over turn-key condition. It’s ideal for a first-time homeowner comfortable with gradual updates, or an investor looking for a character home with rental potential. The numbers indicate you are paying primarily for the structure and location rather than premium land size. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home feels spacious inside for the area, its lot is average locally but small by city-wide standards, focusing the value on the building itself.
