Highlights & common questions: 525 Kavanagh Street, Winnipeg

Property Overview & Appeal

This one-and-three-quarter storey home on Kavanagh Street in Dufresne presents a classic Winnipeg character home built in 1912. Its key characteristic is a living space (1,296 sq ft) that is notably above average for both its immediate street and the Dufresne area, offering more interior room than many comparable local properties. It sits on a standard city lot (3,426 sq ft) with a detached garage. The basement exists but is noted as not renovated, and the home does not have a pool.

The appeal lies in its generous interior space within a neighborhood context and its character-home charm. Its assessed value is modest relative to the wider city, which may indicate a lower property tax burden. This property would suit a buyer looking for a home with vintage character and room to grow, who is comfortable with a home of this age and the potential projects that come with it, such as the unfinished basement. It’s a practical choice for those prioritizing interior square footage and lot location over modern finishes and recent construction.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the home’s size compare to others?
The living area is a standout feature. At 1,296 sq ft, it ranks in the top 11% on its street and top 18% in the Dufresne area, meaning it is significantly larger than many homes in the immediate vicinity.

2. Is the assessed value a good indicator of the likely sale price?
Not directly. The assessed value for municipal taxes is $22,100, which is below the citywide average. Recent sale history shows the home sold for $25,600 in early 2025 and $20,500 in late 2023. The market sale price is influenced by many factors beyond the tax assessment.

3. What should I consider about the home’s age?
Built in 1912, the home is older than most in Winnipeg. This can mean charming architectural details but also warrants careful attention during inspection for the condition of major systems like wiring, plumbing, and the foundation, which may have been updated over time.

4. How does the lot size compare?
The land area of 3,426 sq ft is fairly typical for the street and Dufresne area but is below the citywide average. It provides a standard urban yard space but is not an unusually large lot.

5. What does the sales history suggest?
The two recent sales in 2023 and 2025 indicate active turnover. A buyer may want to explore the reasons for the relatively quick resale to ensure there are no undisclosed issues, but it could also reflect investor activity or changing owner circumstances.
