Property Overview
This one-storey home at 79 Briar Cliff Bay in Fort Richmond is a compact, well-situated property that presents a clear value proposition. Built in 1969, it sits on a modestly sized lot but benefits from a renovated basement. Its assessed value is consistent with the local area, suggesting a fairly priced entry point into the market.
Key Characteristics & Appeal
The primary appeal of this home lies in its efficiency and location. With 1,040 sqft of living space, it is one of the smaller homes on its street, which translates to lower maintenance and utility costs—a practical choice for downsizers, first-time buyers, or investors. The renovated basement adds valuable finished space, increasing its functionality. While the lot is smaller than most in the immediate vicinity, it is still a good size city-wide and offers manageable outdoor upkeep.
Its strongest suit is financial predictability. The assessed value aligns closely with neighbourhood averages, indicating a property unlikely to be overvalued. It would suit a pragmatic buyer looking for a solid foothold in the Fort Richmond community without the premium for larger square footage or extensive grounds. A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents a "right-sized" option in an area where many properties are larger, offering a chance to live in a desirable location while maintaining a smaller footprint and budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the size of this home compare to others nearby?
It is among the more compact homes on Briar Cliff Bay, with living area below the street average. However, it is close to the city-wide average, making it a typically sized home for Winnipeg overall.

4. The home was built in 1969. What should I consider?
