Highlights & common questions: 1089 Mccalman Avenue, Winnipeg

Property Overview

1089 Mccalman Avenue is a well-maintained one-storey home in Winnipeg's East Elmwood neighbourhood. Built in 1956, it features a renovated basement and a detached garage on a standard-sized lot of just over 4,300 sqft. With 884 sqft of living space, it offers a practical layout for efficient living. The home’s assessed value positions it as an above-average property within its immediate area, suggesting it has been maintained or updated relative to its peers. Its appeal lies in its move-in readiness, the value it represents within the local market, and the potential of its generous lot. This property would suit first-time homebuyers, downsizers looking for single-level living, or practical investors seeking a solid, no-fuss rental in an established community.

Key Details & FAQs

Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home presents a compelling case for value-conscious buyers. While its living space is modest by city-wide standards, it is competitively sized for East Elmwood and on Mccalman Avenue itself. The renovated basement adds functional space, a significant advantage in a one-storey design. A less obvious strength is its year of construction (1956); it is newer than many neighbouring homes, which can sometimes mean fewer issues common to the earliest post-war builds. The detached garage and ample lot provide tangible utility and future flexibility that smaller, newer lots often lack. It’s a home that doesn’t stand out for extravagance but for its solid positioning within the local context—offering more modern infrastructure and value retention than many direct comparables.

Who It Would Suit
This property is an ideal match for pragmatic buyers. First-time buyers will appreciate its manageable scale and the fact that it’s a step above average for the street in assessed value, indicating a sound investment. Downsizers or empty-nesters will find the single-level layout and renovated basement appealing for living and storage. It also suits hands-on buyers who see potential in the lot and garage for hobbies, gardening, or future expansion, as well as investors looking for a stable, low-maintenance rental property in a durable neighbourhood.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s size compare to others in the area?
At 884 sqft, the living area is very close to the average for both Mccalman Avenue (926 sqft) and the wider East Elmwood area (1,065 sqft). It is a comfortably standard size for the neighbourhood.

2. What does the above-average assessed value on the street indicate?
With an assessed value ranking in the top 30% on its street, this suggests the property is in better condition, has more updates, or is otherwise considered more valuable than most direct neighbours. It’s a sign of relative desirability within the immediate location.

3. Is the renovated basement finished living space?
The listing specifies a "renovated basement." It is advisable to confirm with the listing agent whether this is a fully finished living area, a modernized utility/storage space, or a partial renovation to understand the exact usable space.

4. What are the implications of the home being built in 1956?
Built in 1956, this home is newer than many on its street and in East Elmwood. This can be an advantage, potentially meaning construction methods and materials were more modern than those used in the immediate post-war years of the late 1940s.

5. How does the lot size compare, and what are the possibilities?
The lot of 4,335 sqft is standard for the area. It provides good outdoor space for a garden, play area, or entertaining, and its size is typical, not unusually large or small, for East Elmwood. The detached garage adds practical storage or workshop space.
