Highlights & common questions: 48 Chester Street, Winnipeg

Property Overview

48 Chester Street is a two-storey home in Winnipeg's East Elmwood neighbourhood, built in 1957. Its key appeal lies in offering above-average space and land for the immediate area, presenting a solid value proposition within a well-established community.

Key Characteristics & Suitability

This home's primary strength is its generous proportions relative to its East Elmwood context. With 1,630 sqft of living space, it ranks within the top 12% of homes in the neighbourhood for size, offering more room than the area's typical 1,065 sqft home. It sits on a 5,506 sqft lot, which is also notably larger than the local average. A renovated basement adds functional living space. The home lacks a garage and pool, keeping maintenance simpler.

Its appeal is grounded in practicality and space. For buyers, it represents an opportunity to acquire a home that feels roomier than many in the neighbourhood without a premium city-wide price point, as its last sale price and assessed value are competitive. It would suit a growing family, a multi-generational household, or anyone seeking a character home with ample yard space in a mature, no-frills neighbourhood. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home itself is from the late 1950s, its lot size is a legacy feature more common to earlier builds, offering potential for gardening, expansion, or simply more private outdoor space than newer subdivisions provide.
