64 Brookstone Place - South Pointe

Builder: Parkhill Homes
Selling Price: $615,300 Plus GST and Land
Type: Bungalow


Joanna N.

The modest exterior of this home does not do the exquisite interior justice!

Upon entry into the home, you are greeted with a double sided fireplace that is shared with the great room. The large entry way ensures guests will not be tripping over themselves coming and going.

To the right of the home are the sleeping quarters and bathrooms. The perfect sized master ensuite is just enough to spoil the master, but not too over the top to steal square footage from the rest of the home. His and hers closets complete the master suite and it wasn’t hard to figure out which closet would belong to the woman in this house!

The expansive kitchen is definitely one to see – wall-to-wall cabinets and a walk-in pantry provide more than enough storage and practicality. The Caesar stone island is very large and is a chefs delight. A very large eating area completes the kitchen with a view of the lake. Garden doors to an exterior covered patio are an added bonus and this space could easily be transformed into a 3-season sunroom.

The fully finished lower level is just as impressive as the main floor. Super-sized windows make this feel open and bright - for those that have an aversion to basements, this house is for you! The basement is complete with a games area, media area, and two bedrooms.

The home was my absolute favourite! This amazing 3-bedroom walk-out bungalow uses every square inch of the 1,995 sq. ft. From the ribbon fireplace in the large front foyer to the fantastic layout of the lower level, you are in for a treat with this home. Definitely built with practicality and space optimization in mind.

It is both luxurious and functional. The open plan main floor is inviting and comfortable. The oversized kitchen with granite and Ceasar stone counters and gorgeous cupboards, along with the large eating area, with built-in counter server, and the great room with the ribbon fireplace to the large open foyer is stunning. The eating area leads to a covered outside deck area.

The master bedroom is large and features His and Hers walk-in closets. This master is just the right size, with a well-designed ensuite. Check out the faucets in the bathrooms!

The large back entrance includes a laundry area with plenty of space and storage. A 2nd bedroom, 4-pce bathroom and large front office\bedrooom complete the main floor.

The lower level walk-out is well designed with a common family room area. A large bedroom with walk-in closet is off the family room. Around the corner is a 3-pce bathroom with fully enclosed glass shower and linen closet. A 2nd bedroom or office with a large double closet complete the lower level which also has access to the attached garage. The back entrance in the lower level is large enough to add a second laundry area.

This home came the closest to suit our needs… Plenty of space in the main floor common areas, with private bedroom quarters for the younger family.. The lower level provided a second ‘master’ suite for the in-laws, with a 3 pce well-designed upscale bathroom just outside the door. If only this home had garage parking for 4 vehicles……

Definitely a must – see! (and almost a must-have for me!)

2 Lyndhurst Gate - Hampton Village, Steinbach

Builder: G&E Homes
Selling Price:
$179,945 Plus GST and Land
Type:
Bungalow


Susan G.


This amazing 1118 sq. ft. home is the surprise of the parade so far. This single family home would be excellent for the young newlywed couple looking to buy their first home, or a retired couple, looking to downsize, and prefer to live in a house as opposed to a condo unit or apartment.

The main living areas features the kitchen with an oversized island which is perfect for entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen is the family room with a large eating area on the opposite side of the kitchen.

The good size master bedroom includes a large closet and a pocket door to the 4 piece main bathroom.. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms finish the main level.

The unique design of this home makes efficient use of space on the main level with a full basement and double attached garage for additional space and storage.

The exterior of the home is stone and stucco and the large lot is a bonus. This home is definitely “Worth the Trip”!

For use of space and ingenuity of design, #2 Lyndhurst Gate in Steinbach is one of my favorites in this years parade.

At a modest 1,118 sqft, this home feels as spacious as some of its competitors in the 1,500 sqft category. The builder answered the wishes of many new home buyers with a very open floor plan. The flow from the front to the back of the home is simple – to the right is the dining area, kitchen, family room at the back – to the left are the sleeping quarters and bathroom.

The fabulous kitchen is open to the family room and eating area. This space is fantastic for entertaining or lining up the kids for breakfast along the oversized island.

For a small home, the master bedroom is a very good size at 15 X 15. It includes a large closet and a pass through to the 4-piece bath. Following through the 4-piece bath leads down a hall to the two additional bedrooms which complete the main floor.

This home is suitable for a single person, professional couple, or a young couple just starting their family. The extra space in the basement would allow enough room to develop this home into over 2,000 sqft of living space. The large yard and affordability of this home make this a very attractive home and location.

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.

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

60 Brookstone Place - South Pointe


Builder: Artista HomesSelling
Selling Price: $606,419 plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey

Joanna

While this home did not meet our own personal needs, it would make a fantastic home for young professionals seeking a large home that definitely sets itself apart from the standard cookie-cutter home.

Upon entry into the home, you are greeted by a lovely double sided ribbon fireplace which is shared with the family room. The beautiful 24 X 24 ceramic tile floor looks fabulous and is consistent throughout the entire home.

The living room and dining room have expansive 18 foot ceilings which make the space feel very large and the abundance of windows allows the natural light to flow through the entire main floor of this home.

The main floor laundry room is completely separate from the back entrance and is complete with sink, cabinets, and Caesar stone countertops.

The huge island kitchen is conducive to entertaining large crowds with ease. The glass tile backsplash is gorgeous as are the Caesar stone countertops.

The fully finished walk-out basement provides enough space for a large entertainment/media area, exercise room, extra bedroom, and full bath. The basement also has one of the neatest features I’ve ever seen – a storage shed with access from the basement utility room, complete with a single overhead garage door to the backyard. What a cool feature! It takes the proverbial “man-cave” to the next level!

Susan

This uniquely designed home would be best suited for the younger professional family with room to grow. The curb appeal of the home captures your attention immediately with the professionally finished landscaping leading to the formal entrance. When you enter the home, you will love the dining room light fixture immediately to your right, after being greeted by the see-through fireplace in the main entrance.

The pantry in the kitchen is awesome. It is the full length of the kitchen wall and offers plenty of kitchen storage.

The main floor plan is open with 2 family areas – with plenty of windows and glass. Both family areas are off the kitchen, and the main family area adds a red splash of color with the built in shelving unit.

The master bedroom on the 2nd level, is big and beautiful with an open view to the family room below. All the closet doors were self-closing, which was also pretty cool.

A really neat feature was the utility garage on the lower level of this walkout home. It was adjacent to the furnace room and had enough room to store all your lawn equipment and then some. It had a utility garage door accessible from the back yard. Very Cool!

Although this home did not suit our specific needs, if you are looking for ‘unique-ness’, this is the one for you!
