87 Kingfisher Crescent - South pointe

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


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.

87 Kingfisher Crescent - South Pointe

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!!

90 Lou Peltier Crescent - Kildonan Green

Builder: Ventura Custom Homes
Selling Price: $229,909 Plus GST and Land
Type: Bi-Level


90 Lou Peltier Crescent is a split level, so upon entering I ventured downstairs and I was greeted by a large air hockey table. I thought this was a fantastic addition as right away I thought the house was fun and being downstairs I pictured the open space as a great games/entertainment area. Rounding out the downstairs was a nice sized office/bedroom and a full bath. The downstairs space is open and functional – good for entertaining and children alike.

Moving upstairs, there is a larger living room to the left. The vaulted ceilings give the room an impressive feel. Entering the kitchen, the vaulted ceilings and great backyard view create a spacious feel making the kitchen feel like a destination spot within the house. The house features three bedrooms, with master offering a large full ensuite. There is another full bathroom on the floor making this the perfect house for small families or empty nesters alike.

The great room wall features five windows that provide maximum natural light.

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.
