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!

1108 Ingersoll Street - Downtown

Builder: Fortune Builders
Selling Price: $189,900 Plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey


There were a couple of factors that set this house apart from the others before even going for a visit. First, it is located in a long established residential neighbourhood and therefore would be uniquely new among older houses. It is essentially an infill project that started from scratch and created a brand new home in an established location. Second, the descriptor of it being a “Zen” home intrigued me.

The new style of thinking did not disappoint. The builder was definitely thinking of 21st century living when he created this home. Green building materials, sustainability and energy efficiency were the orders of the day. The greywater system ensures responsible water useage.

The rooftop deck is a terrific idea that will get lots of use. It is quite spacious and essentially creates a patio or deck that would normally require a larger yard to be placed on the second floor outside the house. Privacy and practicality rule the day here.

Style is not sacrificed due to green here. There is a sense of comfort that can be enjoyed by the entire family.

The dark rich wall in the great room continues the Hilton tradition of creating a feature wall. It has a very elegant appeal to it.

There is a very effective use of space by having the mud room lead to a bathroom that leads to a bedroom.

This house has a beautiful contemporary design that will never go out of style. I particularly liked the His and Hers walk-in closets in the master bedroom. At least it’s nice in theory before the husband is forced to move his clothes down the hallway.

I particularly was impressed with salesperson Bob Beaudry’s enthusiasm in working for Maric Homes. He couldn’t say enough about the uniqueness of design, the conceptual ingenuity and the excitement of each new product.

The foyer is somewhat separated from the rest of the house in that there are steps leading to the great room, kitchen and second floor bedrooms. This enables privacy from the rest of the house for those at the front door.

The kitchen is bright and open; very inviting.

The Master bedroom is a cab-over in the front of the house with a beautiful picture window. This makes an already large room look even larger.

I liked the selection of the baseball, golf and hockey sculptures in the basement.

2 Waldport - Royalwood

Builder: Greentree Homes

Selling Price: $297,900 Plus GST and Land

Type: Bungalow

As you walk into this house, the first thing you notice are the 14 ft. ceilings. Although this house is a bungalow, they utilized the space by raising the ceilings, making the home feel even bigger. Throughout the house there are dark hardwoods and in the carpeted areas there is a shag carpet. I have to say, I love that shag carpet has made a return! I have it in my current house and love it.

Off of the foyer there is a den with grand French doors , a formal dining room and a hallway to the bedrooms. As you continue through the house, there is a kitchen, dinette and family room combo. This would be a great area for entertaining! Nice and close to the food, with plenty of room to sit!!

Down the hallway to the bedrooms, there is also a laundry room with a garage door entry. There are two bedrooms in this house, one being the master. The master has a grand ensuite with soaker tub and separate shower. Across from the bathroom is the walk in closet.

The basement is unfinished with a lot of potential. One aspect I must comment on is that although the basement is unfinished, the floor is painted. I too, have an unfinished basement with a white painted floor. This makes the basement a lot more appealing and cleaner looking. A nice option for a family like ours who wants to use the basement (for all of our girly toys), but don’t want to finish the basement yet.

To me I see this house as perfect house for empty-nesters, retired couples or a 1 child family. It is very roomy, although it only has 2 bedrooms. If you are intrigued by Greentree Homes, their Louisville style home is perfect for a growing family. It has lots of entertaining room, 3 bedrooms and a 1550 square foot basement with tons of potential!

I love the reading area at the front of the house in this home. You can fit two chairs and a side table, possibly laptop on another table in the room. It is a nice quiet place for someone to use when they want that time to themselves. There is an open kitchen with a dinette. There is also a big island with quartz countertops. I love the floating shelves above the stove top! The fireplace in the living area has what looks like sheets of stained glass. I also liked the way the jetted tub and shower are separate from the toilet area. The garage door enters into the laundry area which has great cabinets and closet area for jackets etc. The basement is very nice with a wet bar and a stained glass backsplash. You can also pull up some stools at the bar area. The basement is a walk-out and therefore there is plenty of light shining through to create another pleasant living area for teenagers. A must see!

27 Bridlewood Road - Bridgwater Forest

Builder: Bentley Homes
Selling Price: $550,143 Plus GST and Land
Type: Bungalow


Wow, bright! This is the first thing I thought when entering this home. It is refreshing to see light coloured walls everywhere. There are some white walls but also light taupe colours on the doors, baseboards, and other walls. This home is very spacious and very open in design.

I love the white cupboards in the kitchen with a few light coloured maple cabinets just for a little contrast. There is a two-sided fireplace between the living area and the four season sunroom. What a great place to escape in the winter and get plenty of light from all the windows and warmth from the fireplace.

The master bedroom in this bungalow is huge with an ensuite with heated floors, which feels so good! There is also a big shower stall with three small windows for extra light. I love the his and her walk-ins closets with the wooden shelves. I prefer the wood instead of the white wire ones you typically see in homes.

The basement is not done in this home but I know that there are 9ft ceilings which will make the finished basement seem that much more bigger upon completion. The staircase going down to the basement has glass on it and provides openness going down the stairs.

You need to go see this home today!

Builder: A&S Homes

Type: 2-Storey


This home is a 2-storey with an open concept design. The kitchen has dark cabinets and granite countertops. I love the deck off the kitchen. It makes it handy when you are preparing a meal on your barbecue outdoors. You just step out onto the deck and not have to go any further down any stairs. The one thing that I will really remember about his home is the unique shelving that was designed between the kitchen and the living area. It is made of wood and extends from the ceiling, right to the floor. I can’t really explain it you just have to go see it. The fireplace has nice tile all around it and there is a little nook with cupboards, against a wall near the kitchen. This is a good place for a laptop. I also really like the reading/seating area, with windows providing brightness, located at the top of the stairs. There are three bedrooms. The master bedroom has an ensuite with a walk-in closet located in the bathroom area. Great home for a growing family!

I like the way the builder carried over the same tiles throughout the house. The stone backsplash in the kitchen is the same as is on the fireplace. It is called fiddlesticks and is really different than I have seen. The laundry room floor has a similar look to the stone in the kitchen and fireplace. It is great because it is multicoloured and the dirt would be hardly noticeable.

I loved the dark colours of the cupboards in the kitchen which was similar in darkness to the hardwood floors throughout the dining and living areas. The baseboards were also a darker colour against a lighter colour on the walls. It looked very sharp! Usually I see a dark coloured wall against the crisp white colour of the baseboards.

The walk-in closets are a great idea. One for your significant other and one for yourself. No more trying to divide the space in a closet between two people! The double doors into the master bedroom is also a nice touch.

The colours in this home are very earthy and creates a cozy, warm feeling to the home!

If you are looking for a home with street appeal then this is it!! As we pulled up we realized this home was special.

Walking up the stairs of this palatial home we were greeted with one of the grandest foyers yet. Once again another home with natural light coming in through the front windows. Event though this is becoming very familiar it really makes a difference to how you perceive the size of the property.

Walking through the foyer we reach a fantastic Great room with a huge entertainment centre with a beautiful ceramic tile fireplace on the left hand wall.

The kitchen is one that I can see would be a pleasure to prepare meals in and includes an eating/dining area, island with extended countertop, raised nook, walk-in pantry, granite countertops and maple cabinetry. There is a sliding door near the pantry that leads you back towards the front of the house where there is a small bathroom and the entrance to the garage. I really like this feature as the distance to the pantry from the car is really short.

As we head upstairs we realize we are yet to see the laundry…..

At the top of the stairs we are greeted by what I would call a reading nook. A nice little spot to read a book maybe?

There are 2 good sized bedrooms with built in robes which are great for hiding all of the kid’s toys and a nice three piece bathroom.

Ah….The laundry. At first we are a little confused as to why a laundry would be upstairs…..After all how would you hang your wet clothes on the clothes line? Coming from Australia the laundry was always downstairs and close to a door. After thinking about it we realize, Of course!!! you can’t hang your washing outside in -40 and we start to feel a bit stupid.

The last part of this tour end with the master bedroom. A great walk in closet is at the entrance to the ensuite which is well equipped with a great soker tub.

I think we would be very comfortable living here.

Builder: Ventura Custom Homes
Selling Price: $275,426 Plus GST and Land
Type: Cab-Over


Having moved to Canada recently we were unsure of what a “Cab-Over” was. Not until we enter this home do we realize the potential of this extra space!

This home is a LARGE 3 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom Cab-Over home. The first thing you notice as you enter is the really high ceilings in the foyer. As with most of the homes we have seen this home uses lots of natural light to make it feel much bigger than it actually is. The “bay windows” in the formal living area are really nice to. These windows also allow lots of natural light to come into the front of the home.

As we move further into the home we are confronted by an area that is engulfed by space! This is the living/dining/kitchen area that looks out onto the back yard. The corner gas fireplace in the living room looks like a great area to relax in after a hard day at work. In the kitchen the island style bench will be great for preparing meals while keeping an eye on the kids out in the yard.

With two bedrooms that have lots of closet space and a bathroom down stairs, this is a great level for the kids as everything is accessible without having to climb up the stairs

Climbing up the stairs we notice that there is only one room…….mmm interesting. The entire level all to ourselves! I really really like this house!!!

With a huge master suite that includes one of the most luxurious ensuites and walk in robes I have seen so far, I am going to find it tough to leave this house and not leave a deposit!!

The Sarasota

Walking through the front entrance of this home you are greeted by a light and open plan living area with high ceilings and large windows.

There is large mudroom off to the right of the living area that allows easy access into the house from the garage.

There is a great fireplace and built in entertainment unit in the great room which would be fantastic for family gatherings.

The raised eating bar in the kitchen and the great Island style bench would make this kitchen a fun place to prepare meals. The pantry is walk in style with a big open bench to the left.

As we go up the stairs we notice the finish on the handrails…..For some reason these really stand out to me. The attention to detail is amazing.

The first set of stairs leads to another really nice living area that would be a great playroom for the kids as it has easy access to the bedrooms. The ceilings are high which once again gives the impression of space. There is another fire place and room for entertainment equipment on the wall.

Continuing on up to the bedrooms we find two bedrooms adjoining a large family friendly bathroom. This is great for families with little ones as it is close to both bedrooms. The spacious master bedroom complete with a really nice ensuite with soaker tub and walk-in closet provide Mum and Dad with a tranquil space of our own.

All things considered this is a great house that any family would be proud to call home!

102 Lou Peltier Crescent - Kildonan Green

Builder: Kensington Homes
Base Price: $314,900 Plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey


As you walk into 102 Lou Peltier Crescent you have the choice of walking up or down reminiscent of a split level, although this home is quite different. Off to the left of the main entrance is a main floor washer/dryer. Walking up, one notices the high ceilings giving the home a grand feel. To the right is a great dining room with an incredible spacious feel about it. Toward the back of the house, one finds the spacious kitchen and very functional family room both overlooking the backyard. As you go up another level, you begin to realize that this home is special. At the first landing, you come across the master bedroom with great ensuite. Continuing up again, you find two additional bedrooms and a full bath with the hallway overlooking the family room. I really liked the various levels of the house, though the house itself probably has the same number of stairs as any two story, the unique multi-level design really sets it apart. Combined with the high ceilings found through, this is a really unique house that deserves a look.

98 Lou Peltier Crescent - Kildonan Green

Builder: Randall Homes
Base Price: $285,619 Plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey


The first thing I noticed walking up to 98 Lou Peltier Crescent was the small porch on the front of the house. I like this feature as the house is west facing, allowing for a great vantage point to watch the sunset. Walking in to the house, there is a carpeted dining room off to the left which you walk past to get to the kitchen. The kitchen is very spacious and open to the family room. I particularily like the tiles chosen for the backsplash. The family room is separated from the kitchen by a short, functional shelving unit and is more than large enough for a family to gather around the TV or the fantastic fireplace/mantle setup. Past the family room there is a half bath and laundry facilities on the main floor.

Moving up the carpeted stairs, one finds a nice loft space. I like the idea of upper loft space as it adds an interesting functional element to the upstairs. In many new homes, the loft space can be converted to an extra bedroom during the design phase, but if possible, I would opt for the loft over the additional bedroom. In addition to the loft, this home features three bedrooms including a large master with and equally impressive ensuite. The ensuite in 98 Lou Peltier is considerably larger than what you typically see in many new homes. The upstairs rounds out with two nicely-sized bedrooms and a full bath.

The base is framed and ready to finish. Great use of space and some unique design elements make this a house to consider.
