91 Brittany Drive

Property Overview

91 Brittany Drive is a spacious, well-established two-storey home in Elmhurst. Built in 1984, it sits on a large, mature lot of over 9,100 square feet. The home offers 1,840 square feet of living space, a finished basement, and an attached garage. Its appeal lies in its generous proportions, both indoors and out, providing room to grow and privacy that is harder to find on newer lots. The property’s consistent rankings—often in the top 15-20% of Winnipeg for lot size, living area, and assessed value—highlight its above-average offering for the market.

This home would suit buyers looking for a solid, move-in-ready property in a mature neighbourhood, who prioritize space over a brand-new build. It’s ideal for a growing family needing room both inside the house and in the yard, or for anyone who values established gardens and larger lot sizes typical of older areas. It also represents a practical choice for those seeking a home with strong fundamentals (space, location, lot) that has been maintained over decades, rather than a project or a brand-new construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the neighbourhood like?
Elmhurst is a mature, established neighbourhood in Winnipeg. Streets are typically quiet with a mix of long-time residents and newer families. The large lot sizes contribute to a more spacious, private feel compared to many newer subdivisions.

2. Are there any major upcoming expenses due to the home's age?
As a home built in the 1980s, a proactive buyer should consider the age and condition of major systems like the roof, windows, and HVAC. While the home is clearly well-maintained, budgeting for the eventual replacement of these components is a prudent part of owning an older home.

3. How does the finished basement add to the living space?
The finished basement effectively expands the home’s usable area, providing flexible space for a recreation room, home office, or additional bedrooms. This is a significant asset for families needing extra room without adding an extension.

4. What does the high assessment value relative to the neighbourhood mean?
The assessed value places this home in the top 14% of its community, indicating that the municipal assessor views its combination of lot size, living space, and condition as superior to most nearby properties. This often correlates with strong market value and desirability.

5. Is the large yard manageable, and what are its potential uses?
The over 9,000 sqft lot offers great potential for gardening, play areas, or outdoor entertaining. It does require more upkeep than a small yard. For those not wanting extensive maintenance, portions could be naturally landscaped or simplified, but the space itself is a rare and valuable asset.
