Property Overview: 521 Larsen Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This one-and-a-half storey home, built in 1914, presents a practical opportunity in Winnipeg's Chalmers neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in its efficient, above-average living space (1,073 sq ft) for the immediate area, offering more room than many neighbouring homes. It features a detached garage and sits on a modest, manageable lot.

The property suits first-time buyers or practical investors looking for an entry point into the market with a functional amount of space. Its assessed value is very typical for Larsen Avenue and Chalmers, suggesting a straightforward, no-surprises valuation in line with local norms. A thoughtful perspective for the right buyer is the home's established location: while the lot is smaller than the city average, it translates to less exterior maintenance. Additionally, its "around average" metrics on the street indicate a stable, non-speculative piece of the neighbourhood, insulated from the extremes of the wider city market.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

3. What should I know about the lot size?
