Highlights & common questions: 854 Chalmers Avenue E, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This 1,048 sqft one-storey home, built in 1955, sits on a notably large 5,217 sqft lot in East Elmwood. Its key appeal lies in the balance it strikes: it offers a living space that is comfortably above average for its immediate street and neighborhood, but its standout feature is the generous, elite-sized lot for the area. This presents a classic "value in the land" scenario. The home itself is newer than many on its street and maintains an assessed value that is competitive locally. It would particularly suit a first-time buyer or practical investor looking for a solid footprint in a established neighborhood, with the future potential that a large lot affords—whether for expansion, gardening, or simply having more private outdoor space than most nearby properties.
