This is a condo? Bravo A&S for breaking the mold on what I thought condos were like. Simple things like the color choice of the stucco make these condos look fantastic. Once inside the space seems to gone on forever. This is a well finished home and very functional. The area is great too!

3 Tommy Douglas Drive - Kildonan Green

Builder: Randall Homes
Selling Price: $280,911 Plus GST and Land
Type: Condo


The day I visited 3 Tommy Douglas Drive was a gloriously sunny autumn day. As I walked up the driveway, the surrounding area came alive with autumn colours, the sunshine, and children coming home from school. It is really quite a nice setting and a great way to start off my visit. Upon entering the condo, immediately to my right was a large living room with a great mantle/fireplace. Being an end unit facing west, the sun shone through the side windows creating a bright atmosphere within the condo. The kitchen is open to the eating area and looks out over the ample backyard.

Moving upstairs, I noticed the custom paint on the landing wall thinking it was nice touch. There are three bedrooms on the upper floor including the nice-sized master. The master bedroom feature some custom paint on its wall as well. Rounding out the upper floor is a full bath and laundry.

There is an unfinished basement framed and ready for somebody to put their personal touched on. For a condo, there is much more living space than I would have thought. The expansive space combined with the great location make this a condo to see.

Guest Blogger Joanna V. Brandon

The bright entrance, graced by double Art Deco style glass doors, opens into an open concept kitchen, dining and living room. The palette of earth tones ranges from the deep taupe with espresso accents on the walls to the walnut-hued wood flooring to deep chocolate counters. These are complemented by pale Shaker-style maple doors and drawers. Long silver handles add a chic note as does the marbling of the light fixtures. Nine foot high ceilings, large windows, including one over the entrance lend a sense of airiness to the space. Near the entrance is a three-piece bathroom, with tile flooring that carries the colour theme. A second or guest room is large with neutral carpeting and a large closet. A serviceable laundry room also leads into the double garage. The master bedroom, beyond the living room, is spacious as is the ensuite. The linen and putty-coloured tiled floor and tub surround enhance the dark sage walls. Within the walk-in closet is one of two access doors to the 4' crawl space that runs the length of the condo. A central vac system, tri-pane windows, a high efficiency forced air gas furnace, acrylic stucco and countless other features make this a dream home.

55 Windmill Way - Charleswood

Builder: Greentree Homes
Selling Price: $319,900 Plus GST and Land
Type: Condo


Nestled in the Park West Mall is the display suite for a condominium complex that is happening right next door. Don’t let the fact that you are walking into a store front office fool you; the experience is identical to walking into the actual condo.

There have been no new condos in Charleswood for twenty years, so this is a very welcome, long overdue addition. The location is perfect, especially for retirees. Within a very short walking distance are the grocery store, drug store with pharmacist, convenience store, bank and numerous other services. A gas station is right across the parking lot and a neighbourhood pub is just across the street. Being close to the Perimeter Highway helps circumvent city traffic for weekend getaways. Everything at your fingertips.

The condos are a collection of choices at one location. There are eight different floor plans to choose from, ranging from 805 – 1,303 square feet. The units are either one bedroom and a den or two bedrooms. There are four different levels with accommodation and the second level features a multi-purpose room. Heated covered parking is a welcome bonus.

The interior of the units present an open concept floor plan which maximizes available space. The huge picture window and 9’ ceilings make the room appear much larger. All feature a very nice balcony.

The interior has been designed with ease and comfort first in mind. All appliances are included. There is an in suite laundry provided. A huge walk-in closet provides ample room for clothes. The step in shower is a thoughtful touch for seniors or mobility impaired.

These condominiums are perfect for retirees or first time buyers who want to create some personal equity.

29-320 Pearson Parkway - Creeside Estates

Builder: Irwin Homes
Selling Price: $272,900 Plus GST and Land
Type: Condo


Before I even start this review, I want to dispel some misconceptions. Selkirk is a lot closer than you would think. It took me 17 minutes to get from my office in Ft. Garry Industrial Park to the corner of Portage and Main. It only took 15 minutes to get from there to the north Perimeter Highway. It was another 23 minutes to pull into the driveway of this impressive condo. Given that everything you could want on a daily basis is available in Selkirk, this place stands on its own. Saying that, there is definitely a country charm to this location. It backs onto a manmade creek that is protected against algae. There is an abundance of birds and wildlife in the forest beyond the back yard. The park a short walk down the street has a barbeque/fire pit area, benches and a pagoda, all encouraging interaction with your neighbours.

I was told by the agent that the development has been attracting a lot of people moving from the country who want to live in a charming city with all the amenities of a large city. She also said that this was the perfect downsize condo for retired people who don’t want the responsibility and labour associated with their own house.

The walkout basement to the back patio allows plenty of room for development according to taste.

80-8 Shadowwood Court - Southland Village, Pritchard Farm

Builder: Maric Homes
Selling Price: $618,952 Plus GST and Land
Type: Condo


This is not your typical condo unit. A definite must see, for those empty nesters that are thinking of downsizing, but with luxury in mind. From the moment you enter, you will be immediately embraced by the warmth and comfort of the home. The serene sound of the trickling fountain in the main entrance captivates you the moment you walk into the home. The gas fireplace in the family room provides a surprising amount of heat, which adds to the warmth of the home. The 10 ft. ceilings enhance the openness of the main floor, which features the large family room, a beautiful kitchen and eating area. The kitchen features a 6-burner gas range and the pantry cupboards, (and there are lots of them), feature pullout drawers. The eating area, with double sized patio doors, leads to a covered deck in the back of the home. A large utility\laundry room is located near the back entrance.

Follow the curved hallway to the master suite. The master suite entrance is a wide door and ½ entrance, which accents the room. The ensuite features double bowl sinks with a full glass enclosed shower unit. Off the ensuite is the large walk-in closet. What a retreat from a hectic day of retirement! I loved this room the most!!

The lower level features a 2nd family room with fireplace. Another curved hallway leads you to the bedroom wing of the lower level which features 2 large size bedrooms, each with their own walk-in closets. These bedrooms are perfect for sleepover weekends with the grandchildren. To celebrate your new home, there is bar unit complete with a wine fridge also on the lower level.

Overall, this was one of my favorites. Be sure to take a moment to view this “must-see’ luxury condo.

This is a fantastic home for those empty-nesters who demand superb quality and craftsmanship in their retirement residence.

Upon entry into the home, there is the sound of nature – a beautiful feature wall complete with waterfall fountain in the front foyer brings the sounds of the outdoors in.

Immediately to the left is a nice size den or office complete with a closet.

There is plenty of storage in this maple and Caeser stone kitchen including a large walk-in pantry complete with built-in shelving. 10ft ceilings make this large space feel expansive. The wall-to-wall sliding patio door is a very nice feature and allows the natural light to flow into the kitchen area.

The huge island opens up to the expansive great room. The fireplace in this room is absolutely gorgeous and throws off an incredible amount of heat! The stone feature wall adds to the exquisite ambiance of this room.

The main floor is completed with main floor laundry and a grandeur master suite. The well appointed ensuite leads into a fabulous walk-in closet complete with built-ins.

The fully finished basement provides enough space for a large entertainment/media area, bar area, two extra bedrooms - each with a walk-in closet, and a full bath. Although not a walk-out, there is no shortage of natural light in this basement. There is another gas fireplace in the entertainment area and it throws just as much heat as the main floor. The gigantic basement windows make this space bright and welcoming.
