Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home is a practical, no-frills property that represents a straightforward entry into Winnipeg’s East Elmwood neighborhood. It’s a two-storey house built in 1946, featuring 912 square feet of living space, a detached garage, and a full, unrenovated basement on a standard 4,214 sqft lot. Its appeal lies in its relative affordability and its position as a statistically average home for its immediate street and area—offering a stable, known quantity without premium pricing. The data shows it consistently ranks around the middle of the pack for size, lot, and age compared to its neighbors, meaning it fits seamlessly into the local fabric without standing out.

This property would suit first-time buyers or practical investors seeking a functional starter home with renovation potential, particularly in the basement. It’s also a sensible match for buyers who prioritize a stable, established community over modern finishes or above-average square footage. A less obvious perspective is that its "average" metrics can be a strength: it likely avoids the premium costs of a fully updated home or a larger lot, while also sidestepping the extreme discounts and potential issues of the lowest-tier properties. It’s a balanced, middle-ground option.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this a good value for the area?
Based on the data, the home’s assessed value is below the area average, and its last sale price was also below average. This suggests it could represent a value opportunity, especially for a buyer willing to take on cosmetic updates.

2. What should I know about the basement?
The listing specifies the basement is "not renovated." Buyers should budget for potential updates and anticipate a standard inspection to assess its current condition, systems, and moisture control.

3. How does the living space compare to nearby homes?
At 912 sqft, the living area is very close to the average for Mccalman Avenue (~926 sqft) and slightly below the East Elmwood average. It’s a compact, efficient layout typical of its era.

4. Is the lot size a pro or a con?
The lot is just over 4,200 sqft, which is typical for the street and area. It provides adequate outdoor space for a garden or recreation without the maintenance demands of a much larger yard.

5. Who might this property NOT suit?
It may not suit buyers looking for a move-in-ready home with modern finishes, or those requiring significant space, as its living area is below the Winnipeg city-wide average. It’s best for those with realistic expectations about a vintage home.
