84 Briar Cliff Bay

Property Overview: 84 Briar Cliff Bay, Fort Richmond, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This well-situated one-storey home in Fort Richmond offers solid, move-in-ready fundamentals. Built in 1969, it features 1,380 sqft of living space, a renovated basement, an attached garage, and a notably generous 6,871 sqft lot that ranks above average citywide. Its recent sold price history indicates steady market appreciation.

The appeal lies in its balance and practicality. The home isn't an outlier in size or assessed value for its immediate area, which suggests a comfortable fit within the neighbourhood. Its true standout is the large, private yard—a valuable asset for families, gardeners, or anyone seeking outdoor space. The renovated basement adds functional living area without the need for immediate projects. This property suits first-time buyers looking for a stable starter home, downsizers seeking single-level living with a manageable yard, or pragmatic investors attracted by the area's consistent performance and rental demand near the University of Manitoba.

A less obvious perspective is its "middle-of-the-pack" positioning. For a buyer, this can mean lower competition compared to ultra-rare or bargain properties, potentially leading to a smoother purchase. The home’s age and established neighbourhood also typically translate to mature landscaping and settled infrastructure.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare to others on the street?
It is competitively positioned. Its living area and land size are around the street average, but its assessed value and newer build year rank above average for Briar Cliff Bay, suggesting it may be in better relative condition or have valued updates.

2. What is the likely price range based on recent sales?
The home sold in June 2024 for an estimated $46.5k to $49.5k, which was a top 5% price for the street at that time. Prior sales in 2021 and 2017 show a pattern of consistent value growth.

3. Who would this property not be suitable for?
It may not suit buyers seeking a brand-new build, a very large interior square footage, or a property with a pool. The one-storey layout with a basement also means all main living areas are on one level.

4. Is the lot size a significant advantage?
Yes, particularly from a city-wide perspective. The lot is larger than over 80% of comparable properties across Winnipeg, offering more privacy and space than many modern lots, which is a premium that holds long-term value.

5. Where can I find the exact historical sold prices?
