95 Kingfisher Crescent - South Pointe

Builder: A&S Homes
Selling Price: $304,281 Plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey


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.

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!

Builder: Hilton Custom Homes
Selling Price: $343,333 Plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey


This home has been built with comfort and style in mind however is also clearly designed with young families in mind. As you enter the home you are greeted by a sitting area and dining room on the left hand side. As you meander through we notice the hardwood floors which are very nice and will be great for the kid’s messes. When we reach the kitchen which is conveniently located adjacent to the formal dining room we are surprised at the size of the huge casual dining area that is next to a great room. This house has a great island bench with granite top to match the rest of the kitchen. The light maple colour of the kitchen lightens it up and makes it feel very spacious. As we leave this area we are presented with a den or study with its own bathroom which will be great for when we have guests.

Upstairs has a nice loft that would be a great kids play area and has three bedrooms. The master has a great ensuite and has a huge walk in robe. There is also a second bathroom on this level that also has a bath tub.

This is a great family home and is a perfect size for our family of 5.

Pausing for a moment to admire the street presence of this new upscale residence we realize this house is going to be very luxurious inside. Upon entering into the pure luxury this house is we very quickly realize that even though the finish is very attractive it also addresses all aspects of the lifestyle we’ve dreamed of enjoying – there’s the cosy study or 3rd bedroom upstairs for quiet moments, the great room for entertaining guests or just to get away, the vast dining, living and kitchen hub. The kitchen is fantastic and has an island style bench as well as lots of natural light coming through the dining room windows.


Upstairs the other 2 bedrooms cluster around yet another leisure room, and the master has a well appointed ensuite.

Another great family home!

The Brickwood is an impressive and luxurious home that will stand out in any setting with its front porch and balanced appeal. A sweeping staircase with a grand looking landing overlooking the front sitting room draws you into the home from the entry foyer and up to the second level comprising three oversize bedrooms, all of which include large walk in / built in robes. The large sitting room or loft and generous master bedroom suite with direct access to the luxurious movie star style ensuite make the top level of this house feel extra spacious.

Spacious living areas including a formal dining room, large eating area, living room with a built in entertainment unit, den and huge kitchen with walk in pantry form the lower level of this home, making it perfect for entertaining family and friends.

The Monticello is an exciting home, perfect for a young family. As you enter the home you are greeted by a formal dining room that has a nice big window overlooking the front yard. As we moved further in we were surprised by the well thought out open-plan living area with the HUGE built in entertainment unit that is separated from the kitchen by a cool “half wall”. Upon further inspection this wall had a neat series of shelves on the living room side and a wine bottle holder in the end. One of the most unique things about this home is the kitchen with a huge walk in panty that you can enter from both the garage and the kitchen. This is great for bringing groceries in from the car and dropping them right in the pantry.

With three large bedrooms upstairs, the master with an ensuite that anyone would die for and a large void overlooking the downstairs living area, this house feels bigger than it is. With a separate bathroom for the children upstairs and a huge walk in robe in the master bedroom this house ticks all the boxes for people with young kids.
