The fully developed basement is adaptable to a variety of activities including bar area, TV room, exercise room and storage.

The Master bedroom has a huge walk-in closet and a very large ensuite featuring a three sided glass shower with a rain shower and hand held and twin sinks.

There is extremely good utilization of pocket doors throughout the house.

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.

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!

50 Highland Creek - Bridgwater Forest

Builder: Arlt Homes
Selling Price: $570,086 Plus GST and Land
Type: Bungalow


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!

188 Bridgeland Drive South - Bridgwater Forest

Builder: A&S Homes
Selling Price: $336,153 Plus GST and Land
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!
