With Winnipeg being such a sprawling city, it’s only natural that you don’t know about an amazing community until you drive through it.
That’s the case with a pocket of newer homes that was carved into a mature, well-treed tract of land between Saddleridge Lane and Maxwell King Drive off Rothesay Street just inside the Perimeter Highway.
There sits a 2,165 square-foot, two-storey home on a 75-foot by 147-foot lot that’s set next to a mature forest that gives the area a rustic feel, while insulating the eight-year-old home from any traffic noise from the Perimeter.
Royce Finley of Royal LePage Prime Real Estate says the impeccably maintained home is a masterpiece inside and out.
“No expenses were spared on the construction of this home. It was built to the highest standards with a structural wood floor, silent floor joists and more. Its finishes and layout are also exceptional.”
Its user-friendly layout and high-end finishes are on display the moment you set foot in its generous, tiled foyer.
There, right in front of you, is a gorgeous upper-level staircase with a spacious formal dining room to its right.
Right away, you get a sense of the style, space and light that the spotless home possesses on every level.
“The feature you notice first is the hand scraped commercial laminate flooring that runs throughout the main floor,” he says. “It’s warmth and texture go perfectly with the staircase and the taupe walls and white baseboards.”
As fetching as the home’s entrance is, its main living area possesses an even higher level of allure.
Featuring an open-concept floor plan and a trio of gorgeous spaces, it immediately draws you in with its cosy, inviting ambience.
“The first space you see is a big living room that features a gas fireplace with a stone feature wall next to a nice entertainment unit,” Finley says. “A big window on the rear wall lets in lots of natural light, while pot lights and built-in speakers on the ceiling above are a nice touch.”
Then, there’s the area to the left, which houses a beautiful eating area and magnificent island kitchen.
“Because it’s surrounded by windows and has an extra high ceiling, the eating area is filled with light and has a sunroom-like feel. A patio door on its side wall also leads out to a 13-foot by 15-foot backyard deck, interlocking brick patio and fully fenced yard with mature trees.”
He adds that the kitchen is chock full of style and function.
“It offers a six-foot by four-foot island with seating for two, maple soft close cabinets, quartz countertops, a gorgeous tile backsplash, wall pantry and stainless appliances. The main living area is set up perfectly for entertaining. It also offers a convenient main floor laundry and huge mud room with access to a 34-foot by 26-foot insulated and drywalled garage.”
Take the elegant staircase upstairs, and the well-designed home just continues to get better with style meshing perfectly with function.
“There’s a spacious loft to the left of the stairs that’s perfect for an office, play area or lounge area,” says Finley. “There are also two large secondary bedrooms as well as a nicely appointed four-piece bath.”
As might be expected, the upper-level’s final space — the primary bedroom — is a private, well-appointed retreat.
“Again, the flooring works extremely well with the colour scheme. That gives it a very welcoming, peaceful feel. It offers a large walk-in closet and beautiful five-piece ensuite with tile flooring, walk-in shower, soaker tub and vanity with quartz countertop and dual raised smoked glass sinks.”
Even more style and utility can be found downstairs, he adds.
“The lower level consists of a games area, fourth bedroom, three-piece bathroom, and rec room with barnwood feature wall and wet bar. The media area is a real man cave.”
Finley says those looking to build a new home should look at 19 Winsome before they make the commitment.
“There’s no reason to build new when you can find a home like this in a great area that’s just minutes from the city with no new construction coming,” he says. “It’s in show home condition and everything is done and ready to go.”
