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!

168 Bridgeland Drive - Bridgwater Forest
Builder: Sterling Homes
Selling Price: $314,089 Plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey
This home feels very cozy and intimate to me. I think because it is not overly spacious. It is a two-storey home with three bedrooms on the second level. The kitchen is open to the dining area and living room. I love the fact that the island accommodates enough chairs around it for an average size family to eat their meals at. There is no need for a kitchen dinette, but instead, a dining table and chairs. This eliminates the need for the traditional dining room.
The powder room is close to the garage door which is great because your family can use the powder room (main bathroom) when you are busy outside doing yard work, and not have to go through the house with dirty shoes to get to it. I like the fact that the laundry room is next to the kitchen so that you can still mulit-task, (like most of us women do, sorry men!) and put a load of laundry in, while preparing a meal for your family.
The T.V. unit is a dark coloured wood with an alcove that is big enough to accommodate a variety of sizes of televisions. I like that the builder has thought about this. I remember building my home and being stuck with an alcove that is just too small and now I can not purchase a T.V. that is bigger than 30 inches wide.
There are hardwoods throughout the main floor and carpeting on the second level. I noticed that the backsplash in the kitchen is the same one used in the bathroom upstairs. I also loved the window in the walk-in closet for some added light. The walk-in closet is in the bathroom area which also has two sinks and a shower. My favourite thing about this home is the patio off the master bedroom. This can be used for those times when you wake up on a beautiful summer morning and just want to enjoy the sun, sip on your cup of coffee, and relax!

58 Linden Lake Drive - Aspen Lakes, Oakbank
Builder: Sterling Homes
Selling Price: $306,520 Plus GST and Land
Type: 2-Storey
Oakbank is a very nice community with all of the necessary amenities. The new recreation complex being built is going to be spectacular. If you golf at Pine Ridge or Elmhurst, this is definitely a place to consider.
The kitchen in this home opens into an attractive great room. As you go upstairs, the bedrooms seem to open up. Everything about this home seems to be open and inviting.
The Master bedroom has a very nice colour combination. There is a deceivingly large walk in closet.
The home is a traditional style; perfect for a young family. There is definitely room to grow in this house.

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.

65 Blue Sun Drive - Sage Creek
Builder: Sterling Homes
Base Price: $248,400 excluding GST
Area: 2560 sq ft
The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the dark brown hardwood floor. We have hardwood throughout our house in standard “wood” colour. In one of those dream sequences where neither money nor reality are factors, I would change the color of my floors to match this. As I walked into the kitchen, the dark brown cabinets, granite counter tops, and that nice floor combined to produce a really nice aesthetic. The kitchen is open to the family room which I could see as being very beneficial having two devious little girls who require one eye on them at all times.
The second floor is carpeted. I think I would prefer matching hardwoods to the main floor, but that is just my preference. Although, I guess the carpet works here. The master bedroom is a good size with really nice ensuite. An ensuite is something my current house lacks. The other two bedrooms are a good size. Philip, the agent at this home, pointed out the second floor loft open the floor below which I thought would be a great office.
Living in a 100+ year old house in Crescentwood, I have a secret jealousy when I look at unfinished basements in newer homes. It probably has been many decades since my basement floor was level and I am forever banging my head on exposed pipes which a previous owner kindly padded. The basement in 65 Blue Sun is framed, but unfinished. If I lived here I would finish the basement as I could be a great space.
