21 Hunterbrook Road - Bridgwater Forest
Builder: Huntington Homes
Selling Price: $726,417 Plus GST and Land
Type: Bungalow
This bungalow is both refined and elegant. It is definitely designed for those who like the finer things of life. Everything in this house has the best materials and high-end finishes.
The extra wide hallway is very welcoming. As you walk through this house you get this feeling of calm. This house flows so well. The large windows and the amazing hard woods are so luxurious.
The kitchen would make any aspiring chef proud. The island is bigger than the dining table that I have at my home. The counter tops are very practical, made from Cambria Quartz. There is a Wolf cook top and built in oven and gorgeous maple cabinets. The great room and dining area both look out to the rear of the property with huge windows to take advantage of this lot.
The master suite does not disappoint. The ensuite is spa like and has one of the deepest tubs I have seen surrounded by white rippled tile. This is the same tile used in the shower to bring this space neatly together. The double vanity is also crowned with that beautiful quartz to continue the luxury.
Downstairs in the basement, there is a cozy family room with doors to the back yard. There is even a walk in wine cellar next to the bar. This basement is delightful with smooth curved walls that add to the feeling of comfort. An additional two bedrooms complete this basement.
Huntington Homes must be very proud. If you want to know the meaning of quality, just visit this house.

As you approach the front of this house, you cannot help but admire the beautiful white stone that covers the front. This is a subtle hint about what you are going to see in this gorgeous bungalow. As you open the front door, you cannot help but to say “Wow!” The ceilings soar above you and feel like they go on forever. The hallway is bigger than one of my bedrooms in my own house. To the front of the house is an enormous room that could be a bedroom or an office. If I lived here I can imagine daily calls to my boss telling him that I would be working from home. With floor to ceiling windows natural light just floods in and lifts your mood.
The dining room is enormous as well. There is enough room to put a huge table in here and comfortably seat 12 or more people comfortably with room to spare.
The full bathroom is very unique. The faucets to the vanity are in the wall.
Off the mudroom is a very large laundry room. In my native
Down the hall you pass another bedroom and then on to the master suite. This house just goes on and on. As you walk into the master bedroom, there’s that word again “Wow!” This is a very elegant room befitting of the type of person that would live here. With views of the lake to the rear waking up in the morning will never be a problem. The ensuite has a huge soaker tub and a very unique shower. There are three shower heads at different levels to make sure you are gloriously massaged. The vanity is huge, not surprising, the walk in closet has more than enough room to store both my husband’s and my four season wardrobes.
Back in the kitchen, there is a lovely curved island. All the cabinets have soft close doors and luxurious granite counters.
The great room also has fantastic views to the lake at the back. There is even a sun room that leads to a small balcony.
Here we go again. Walking down to the basement “Wow” There is a huge rec room with a walk out to the back yard and a three sided fireplace. There is a built in bar area with granite counters. The media room gives a new meaning to movie night. There are two further bedrooms, a fitness room and a full bath. Let’s be honest, this basement is bigger than most people’s houses!
There is so much to say about this house that you just have to go and see it. It certainly has given me aspirations of living here.

7 Hunterbrook Road - Bridgwater Forest
Builder: KDR Design Builders Inc
Selling Price: $550,965 Plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey
This house definitely has star quality. As you walk up the front steps to the porch you know you are in for a treat. The great room has fantastic views to the rear of the property. The grand fireplace would make anyone feel that they can relax after a long day. The bright open kitchen has a versatile island for preparing family feasts and the finishes are of a very high standard.
The walk out basement is amazing. This is a feature that I have grown to love during the Parade. You don’t get this wow factor in older homes and it really does add a usable comfortable floor to a home. Basements normally conjure up something like a damp dungeon. Not in this house. The basement has a fantastic media room and tiled games area. There is even a full bath with a shower and an additional bedroom. This is a perfect area to have a home workout area. You won’t have to climb all those stairs to wash away all that sweat from a vigorous exercise.
On the second floor, everything has generous proportions. The master suite has a huge walk-in closet and an ensuite with a double vanity and shower. The other bedrooms are of a good size as well.
Coming back down the stairs you can look down on to the great room and the fantastic views to the rear of the home. I can imagine waking up in the morning to trudge downstairs to get my morning coffee and be greeted by this amazing view. I am definitely not a morning person, but this view every morning would certainly lift my spirits to face the day ahead.

192 Bridgeland Drive South - Bridgwater Forest
Builder: Greentree Homes
Selling Price: $285,800 Plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey
This house has a fantastic open concept. Coupled with the vaulted ceilings, you have an overwhelming feeling of openness.
Through the entry way you enter the great room with views to the front of the house. This leads to the dining room and a doorway leading to a lovely deck. On fine summer days, you can imagine al fresco dining as the deck has easy access to the kitchen. The white kitchen cabinets add to the brightness of the first floor.
Upstairs the master bedroom is a perfect size for a comfy bed. The ensuite and walk in closet can easily accommodate the master and mistress of the home. Two further bedrooms and the main bathroom complete this floor. What is nice about this second floor is that you feel that the master bedroom is separated across the hall from the other bedrooms providing privacy and quiet if you have noisy teenagers.
This is a perfect family home with all that you would expect when buying a new home.

184 Bridgeland Drive South - Bridgwater Forest
Builder: Hilton Custom Homes
Selling Price: $385,490 Plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey
When you walk into the grand hallway, you know why Hilton Homes named this home Elizabeth II with the most amazing ceramic tile. Easy to clean, these tiles will make sure that the impact of entering this home is never lost over time.
The designers have carefully planned this home to maximise on the special features. The great room has the most imposing fireplace and they have used the gorgeous tile from the front hallway as the accent. This comfortable great room is very spacious and would be able to accommodate a busy family.
The kitchen does not let this house down in any way. The maple cabinets and walk-in pantry would provide a lot of storage and the island would definitely be an asset in the morning when everyone is rushing to get out of the house.
Upstairs there is a loft area that is spacious and practical. This would be a versatile space to be used as either a family room or an area for the kids to study. It does not steal away from the roomy hallway from which the bedrooms lead from.
The master suite would be the envy of any boutique hotel. It is beautiful and regal. There is a second floor laundry, two further bedrooms and a very generously sized main bathroom.
This house has ample storage throughout. The builders have considered carefully who would live in this home, thought about their lifestyle and created a fantastic liveable home. This house is definitely fit for a queen.

176 Bridgeland Drive South - Bridgwater Forest
Builder: Kensington Homes
Selling Price: $325,800 Plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey
This is another well-presented house from Kensington Homes. I am not a Feng Shui expert, but I was once told that it is not a good thing if the stairs lead directly to the front door. It has something to do with losing special energy from the home. I am not sure if the designers knew my eccentric friend, Laura, from the east of London, but they seem to have taken her advice. The stairs lead from behind the door, therefore leaving all the energy in the home and keeping Laura happy.
Openness seems to be the theme of this house. The gigantic windows in the open concept great room, leads to the kitchen with the most unique cabinets. The craftsmanship is quite clever. On first appearance you may think that they are leather (yes really) but on closer inspection you realise that they are not. The overall appearance softens the look and would be a great talking point when friends come over.
So I am back to this staircase. It is extra wide so there is no worry of scuffing the paintwork over time. The master suite is huge. The ensuite is huge and even features a vanity with that lovely finish that I admired in the kitchen. The Kohler soaker tub in so inviting and the walk in closet off the ensuite means that you can pretend you are posh by having your own dressing room.
The second floor laundry would fill any woman with hope that dirty clothes may well make it past the bedroom floor. The main bathroom has a closet in it which is handy when you cannot resist those bulk purchases at Costco and there are two further spacious bedrooms.
It is a shame that Laura still lives in London as she would certainly approve of this house. In the mean time, I am sure that Kensington Homes has more very interested buyers!

172 Bridgeland Drive South - Bridgwater Forest
Builder: Discovery Homes
Selling Price: $306,450 Plus GST and Land
Type: Bungalow
The first thing I realised when walking around this home is how much it would suit my lifestyle (and life stage). From the entrance, there is a feeling that this house was built with me in mind. With no children and a busy lifestyle, my husband and I need a home to be comfortable, welcoming to our friends, with enough space to indulge in our respective hobbies. A bungalow would be ideal for our 13 year old cat and, let’s be honest here, he is the real boss.
There is a bedroom at the front of the home which would be ideal for us to use as a study. As it is separated from the rest of the home, I can see that I could get a lot of work done here without any distractions.
The great room and kitchen are open concept and so ideal to hold dinner parties, with an eating area for guests to sip wine whilst dinner is being prepared. The dining room offers ample space to serve up our feast.
The master bedroom is very cozy. Not being a lover of mornings, I would worry that I may get too cozy in here and not want to drag myself out of bed.
The basement is finished with a rec room, another bedroom for visiting guests and a full bath. There is even a fitness area that I can put my treadmill that probably has not been used in 6 months.
Overall this house has my name written all over it. Everything I need is here without having to worry about the maintenance. A bonus when you buy a new home.

When you walk through the front door, you know that the hallway that greets you makes a statement for the rest of the house. Like a well-bred person, this house is classy and not brassy. The high quality finishes, tall ceilings and the dining room flanked by two large windows allow natural light to flood in and make this entire area feel quite decadent.
Even the unique fireplace in the great room makes a statement. There are built ins for the TV, that soaring ceiling continues and huge windows. The kitchen has a walk in pantry and fantastic granite counter tops. This entire area is ideal if, like me, you love to entertain but not be separated from your guests whilst you cook up a storm.
Upstairs there is a roomy loft area replete with a built in computer desk. The second floor laundry room is perfectly placed.
The master suite is ideally suited to this well-heeled home. There is a tray ceiling, an ensuite with a corner jet tub as well as a generously sized shower.
This entire house is made to make the owner feel like they can kick off their shoes and enjoy it, whether it is with family or welcome guests.

241 Amber Trail - Amber Trails
Builder: Randall Homes
Selling Price: $342,762 Plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey
This home has a delightful porch at the front of the house. As you walk in the front door you appreciate that this home has many unique features from every angle – literally. There is a lot of glass and unique angles to this house which makes you feel that the designer behind this home really appreciates the artistic beautiful side of life.
This house would be ideal for either a younger family or empty nesters. From the garage you enter a very practical mud room with ample storage. This is where the laundry room is located as well. No more trudging down to the basement to do boring chores.
The dining room at the front of the house leads to the family room with an inviting fireplace.
The kitchen is very practical and large. If you love to cook or eat this is the perfect house. The eating area in the kitchen faces the back yard with fantastic windows forming the entire rear of the property. There is a small deck from the back door which would please those who are keen to barbeque.
Upstairs there is a wonderful master bedroom with a jet tub in the ensuite bathroom as well as a great shower. There are 2 further bedrooms as well as a fantastic loft area that would be perfect to be used as a home office. The full bathroom completes the second floor. I must mention the amazing paint effects that this home has in the bathrooms. At first you think that it is wallpaper. And then you think: “wallpaper in the bathroom?” It is only upon closer inspection that you realise that this is amazing paint effects that are done by a great artist. The mix of earth tones and metallic paint add to the luxury of the bathroom.
The basement is unfinished in this show house but, when finished, would complete this perfect house.

222 Amber Trail - Amber Trails
Builder: Ventura Homes
Selling Price: $309,664 Plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey
As you walk up to the front of the house, you are greeted by 3 floors of windows. You already know that this house is going to be bright allowing natural daylight to flood every part of this home.
If you enter this house from the garage there is a generous sized mud room, perfect for those winter boots and multiple layers that form part of our lives for several months of the year. This is where they have placed the laundry as well. Though this is not somewhere I would like my laundry to go, I am assured that this could be relocated to the basement if you would prefer. But then again, who am I to argue? I come from London England where are houses are very small and the laundry is in the kitchen!
As you walk up the stairs to the main living area all you see are fantastic windows – everywhere. The back of the house has floor to ceiling windows in the great room overlooking the huge backyard. The other side of the room is the dining area with even more windows to the front of the house.
The kitchen is huge, and yes with great windows facing the garden. There is lots of room to walk around in the kitchen which would be a chef’s paradise. There is even room for a breakfast table that would be near the back doors to the yard. The extra height ceilings in the great room and dining room combined with the windows make this main floor seem enormous.
I am not sure if you appreciate a Dr Who reference but this is a Tardis. That is the best way that I can describe this house. It is a Tardis. You really do not appreciate how much house you get until you are inside. Do not be fooled by the outside, there is so much more to see. I haven’t even finished on the main floor. There is also a cozy study as well as a half bath.
Up to the next level, is the master suite. It is a large comfortable room with windows on two walls and a walk in closet. The lovely ensuite bathroom even caters for my need to keep the toilet separate with a dividing wall in the bathroom to separate it from the rest of the area. There is a jet tub, a large walk in shower unit and a double vanity.
Outside the master bedroom on the landing leading to the top level are two closets. These are very handy for storage or a fantastic place to hide fashion purchases from your husband. Up on the top level are two further bedrooms and a full bathroom.
The finished basement has a wonderful rec room and an additional bedroom. On speaking to the sales agent, I was not surprised to hear that this house has generated a lot of interest from those who have viewed it. You really do get a lot of house for your money.

The kitchen is huge, and yes with great windows facing the garden. There is lots of room to walk around in the kitchen which would be a chef’s paradise. There is even room for a breakfast table that would be near the back doors to the yard. The extra height ceilings in the great room and dining room combined with the windows make this main floor seem enormous.
I am not sure if you appreciate a Dr Who reference but this is a Tardis. That is the best way that I can describe this house. It is a Tardis. You really do not appreciate how much house you get until you are inside. Do not be fooled by the outside, there is so much more to see. I haven’t even finished on the main floor. There is also a cozy study as well as a half bath.
Up to the next level, is the master suite. It is a large comfortable room with windows on two walls and a walk in closet. The lovely ensuite bathroom even caters for my need to keep the toilet separate with a dividing wall in the bathroom to separate it from the rest of the area. There is a jet tub, a large walk in shower unit and a double vanity.
Outside the master bedroom on the landing leading to the top level are two closets. These are very handy for storage or a fantastic place to hide fashion purchases from your husband. Up on the top level are two further bedrooms and a full bathroom.
The finished basement has a wonderful rec room and an additional bedroom. On speaking to the sales agent, I was not surprised to hear that this house has generated a lot of interest from those who have viewed it. You really do get a lot of house for your money.

Type: Bi-Level
Selling Price: $259,900 plus GST and Land
Type: Bi-Level
As you walk into this house you appreciate the finer details that Silverton Homes have considered when building this home. The entrance has a large walk in closet and is welcoming to the rest of house. There are a few steps down to the basement. Though this is unfinished in this show home, it opens up your imagination as to how you can utilise this space. There are large windows so, when finished, it will continue with the flow of the home to be a perfectly liveable space without feeling hemmed in.
Only 8 steps up from the front door is the living room and dining area which feels cozy and perfect for welcoming guests. As you walk through to the kitchen at the rear of the property you appreciate features that you may consider extras are standard in this home. There are attractive oak cabinets and generously proportioned garden doors that lead out to a great backyard. This kitchen has granite counter tops as well which add to the aspiration of living here. The family room also looks out onto the backyard with fantastic built-ins to accommodate all those DVD’s and electronic equipment that would sit perfectly here. The built in computer desk adds to the cohesiveness of this area between the kitchen and family room. Small details such as the hole in the granite on the computer desk mean that this builder has tried to consider practical things that a modern family would need.
On this level there are also two bedrooms with fantastic vaulted ceilings making the rooms feel larger than they are. They are perfectly sectioned away from the main living area so if a member of the family wants some shut-eye whilst the rest are watching TV in the family room, there will be no disturbance – either from the TV or the volume of snoring coming from the bedroom! A full bathroom next to the bedrooms completes the main floor.
Upstairs is the master suite. The windows face the front of the home with views of the lake. The ensuite bathroom has a fantastic corner jet tub as well as a walk in shower unit. You may think that this is a British eccentricity, but I really do not like looking from my bed into the ensuite and seeing a toilet. I know I don’t really want to appear too blunt, but really who needs that sight? Here Silverton Homes has overcome this phobia of mine. The lavatory is perfectly placed behind the door, so the view from the bedroom is the generously sized vanity that could more than accommodate all those lotions and potions that I possess.
Brian from Silverton explains that they are a medium-sized independent builder. They specialise in “Custom Hybrids” which means that they can customise an existing home design to their clients’ needs. This is the joy of the Parade of Homes. It offers you food for thought. You start with the beautiful show home and then tailor it to your individual needs.

214 Amber Trail - Amber Trails
Builder: Sterling Homes
Selling Price: $328,000 plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey
This home is right across the street from the lake and is perfectly located to nearby schools and shopping a Northgate and Garden City. The front door opens to a foyer with the stairway in the centre of the home. If you enter from the garage, which tends to be the way I would come in having parked my car, you enter the mudroom which is well-equipped with shelves and a lot of rail space for the bulky coats that we need in Winnipeg.
The kitchen is laid out perfectly with the perfect triangle between the sink, stove and refrigerator. I am not in the habit of slamming kitchen drawers shut, but I really do appreciate the soft-close drawers in this kitchen. It is little details like that and the granite counters that add that extra shine to this home.
There is a cozy family room from the kitchen area. If I lived in this home it would mean that my husband would never be too far away to ask to open the pickle jar or chop the onions. The back of this house overlooks a huge back yard. It isn’t landscaped, but it conjures up a vision of a large deck, with still loads of space for a lawn, bocce court and even a play area if you have children without any compromise.
Upstairs is also beautifully presented. There is a loft area to the front of the second floor with lovely windows that look out onto the lake. This would be a perfect office space. Even though it was an overcast day, it was still bright and airy. The two bedrooms are adequate in size with the main bathroom. The master suite is yet another treat in this home. There is an inviting deep and luxurious soaker tub and a walk in shower depending on your mood and time available to enjoy this ensuite.
This home has been carefully designed perfectly balancing affordable luxury with practicality. Terry, the sales consultant, endorses my observations. He explains that the design comes from utilising the best parts of a Sterling Home with the most popular design requests from other Qualico customers. The result is the best of all features that makes this home very special.

210 Amber Trail - Amber Trails
Builder: Randall Homes
Selling Price: $380,857 plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey
The first thing you notice when you walk through the front door is the feeling of space. The bright entrance is spacious and airy. I feel like there is a lot of house to see as there are only a few steps down to the basement and a few steps up to the main level. Great thought has been put into this area, making me feel that this is just a taste of what is to come as I walk through this house. There is a huge walk-in closet here. This is great if, like me, you have many coats and scarves and stuff. You can hide all those boots, shoes and outerwear away from the beauty of the house.
Up to the main level, there is a lovely lounge/dining room. I forgot to mention that this house faces the lake so there is a wonderful view from the windows at the front of this home. You almost feel that you are at a lakeside property with the view of the lake to the front and the biggest backyard you can wish for (the lot is 240 feet deep).
The white cabinetry in the kitchen adds extra brightness with a lovely eat-in area perfect for those busy mornings when everyone is trying to get ready at the same time. The family room just off the open concept kitchen means that this area is definitely the heart of the home. There is even a built in waist-height shelf for the telephone and all those yellow and white pages that we accumulate without knowing where to put them still in their cellophane wrapping. There are two further bedrooms on this level which can be used as an office or a bedroom.
Upstairs is a continuation of the high standards and quality finishes that are apparent throughout this home. The master suite is spacious with a generously proportioned ensuite and walk-in closet. The bedroom has massive windows that add to the feeling of space and luxury and looks out onto the lake to the front.
Back down the stairs to the entrance hall. There are only 6 steps down to the basement. There is no such feeling of going down to the dungeon in this home! The recreation room is huge and the big windows down here add to the feeling that this is just another level of the home that must be utilised and enjoyed. The laundry room is perfectly equipped with a thoughtful linen closet to hide the additional towels and sheets that we all accumulate. There is also another bedroom down here and a full bath. A perfect place to hide my husband when he misbehaves.
