Property Overview: 166 Hazel Dell Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This one-and-a-half storey home on Hazel Dell Avenue in the Kildonan Drive area presents a classic Winnipeg character home opportunity. Built in 1930, it offers 1,294 sqft of living space, which is notably above average for its immediate street, and sits on a 5,005 sqft lot. A key modern update is its renovated basement, adding functional living space, and it features a detached garage.

Its primary appeal lies in its solid positioning within a stable neighbourhood. The home's living area and assessed value rank well above the average for Hazel Dell Avenue itself, suggesting it's a comparatively larger and more valuable property on its block. This creates an interesting value proposition: you're acquiring a home that stands out on its own street while being priced within the broader area's norms. It would suit a buyer looking for a character home with some modern updates (like the basement), who values a established neighbourhood setting, and is potentially savvy to the advantage of owning one of the larger, higher-assessed homes on a given street—a factor that can contribute to long-term stability and appeal.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home’s size compare to others nearby?
At 1,294 sqft, the living area is significantly larger than the average home (approx. 1,118 sqft) on Hazel Dell Avenue itself, placing it in the top 18% on the street. Compared to the wider Kildonan Drive area and city, it is very close to the average size.

2. What does the assessed value tell me?
The assessed value of $35.20k is above average for Hazel Dell Avenue (top 15%), indicating the city views it as a higher-value property on its block. Within the larger Kildonan Drive area and city-wide, its assessment is around the median, suggesting the asking price should be benchmarked against the broader neighbourhood market.

3. The home was built in 1930. What should I consider?
While the basement has been renovated, the core structure is 96 years old. Buyers should budget for and prioritize a thorough inspection of major aging components (foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical) not covered by the basement renovation, while also appreciating the character and build quality often found in homes of this era.

4. Is the lot size a pro or a con?
The lot is average for Hazel Dell Avenue but below average for the larger Kildonan Drive area. This means ample outdoor space for a garden or deck relative to direct neighbours, but it may be smaller than some other properties in the wider community. It’s a balanced offering.
