Property Overview
This two-storey home at 79 Baldry Bay in Fort Richmond presents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking well-above-average space in a mature neighbourhood. Its primary appeal lies in its significant living area of 2,380 sq ft, which ranks in the top 4-8% of homes locally and city-wide, offering substantial interior room for the price point. The home features an attached garage and a renovated basement, adding functional living space. Built in 1967, it sits on a slightly larger-than-average city lot, providing good outdoor space.
The property suits growing families or those who value ample indoor space for work, hobbies, or multi-generational living. Its assessed value is consistently above average for its immediate street and the broader Fort Richmond area, suggesting a solid foundation of perceived value. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home's age is average for the city, it is actually older than many in the specific Fort Richmond area, indicating a well-established streetscape but also implying that updates and maintenance history will be key considerations.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living space compare to newer homes?
This home offers significantly more living area than the average Winnipeg home (ranking in the top 4% city-wide) and even surpasses the average in Fort Richmond by a notable margin. You are getting more interior square footage here than in most comparable properties.
2. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope. Buyers should inquire about the finish quality, permits, the nature of the renovations (e.g., cosmetic vs. structural), and whether it includes a separate entrance or legal suite potential.
3. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the likely selling price?
The assessed value of $50.10k is a benchmark for municipal taxes. While it ranks above average for the area, the actual market price is determined by current conditions, the home's specific condition, and recent comparable sales. The last known sale was in 2016.
4. What are the implications of the home's age relative to the neighbourhood?
Built in 1967, this home is older than the average home in Fort Richmond. This can mean mature landscaping and established community character, but it also places a premium on the quality and age of major updates (like roof, windows, HVAC, and electrical) relative to younger homes in the area.

The exact sold price from August 2016 is not publicly displayed. As noted on the detail page, you can request this information directly via email from the listing source, which provides it manually without using your email for unsolicited marketing.
