74 Des Meurons, Norwood Home For Sale

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in an established area, with mature trees, reputable schools, stores, restaurants, community clubs and golf? And maybe throw in the fact that all this is located only a few minutes from The Forks and downtown giving you quick and easy access to work and play……That, my friends would describe Norwood. Canada’s greatest neighbourhood…..well after Osborne Village.

OK, maybe I’m a little impartial since I grew up in Norwood and have lived most of my life in it or beside it (I have lived in Glenwood for 25 years). But as good as Glenwood is, Norwood is even better and for me it all has to do with its ideal “central location”.

For those who don’t know Norwood and for those who do, I have to admit, “This home (below) is the one!”

On Sunday, May 5 from 2-4 in the afternoon I’ll be doing an open house at 74 Des Meurons. From the moment you enter this solid and well-maintained home you know you have come into something special. You are greeted by beautiful hardwood floors, original cove ceiling in the living room, French doors into the dining room, a third bedroom or office, full bathroom with jetted tub and a recently renovated kitchen all on the first floor. Upstairs is a spacious master bedroom, a second bedroom and views of your expansive 138 foot deep yard. The basement has a finished entertainment area and 4^th bedroom if desired

The fenced yard is ideal for times spent with family and friends. It is also perfect for keeping a watchful eye on children and pets. At the back, just off the paved lane, is a parking pad with enough room for up to 4 vehicles and a single garage currently being used as a shed.

This non-smoking home also comes with central air-conditioning, alarm system, blinds, dryer, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, stove, window coverings and washer. IF that isn’t enough, check out the price……all this offered at $224,900.

Offers presented at 7pm Sunday, May 5. You don’t want to miss this one.

25 Spirea, Aspen Lakes, Oakbank

There's something about life outside the Perimeter that makes a lot of sense. As you leave the city for your country home, the stresses of the day just melt away. The air is fresher. The sounds are different. Wildlife is abundant. And the taxes are lower. Its all good.
Oakbank is what some call a satellite community. Close to the city, yet far enough away to give you the feeling you've escaped. Oakbank has other special qualities. It is close to Birds Hill Provincial Park and all the park has to offer. And being just east of the city means you already have a head start getting to Manitoba's cottage country.
But there's another feature that people tend to overlook but is what impresses me most about the area: the proximity to a number of ridges of land running east/west that converge at Birds Hill Park. These ridges give the area its unique character not found anywhere else in the immediate area around Winnipeg.
On Sunday afternoon I'll be at an open house located at 25 Spirea Lane, in the Aspen Lakes subdivision of Oakbank. From the soaring ceilings that greet you in the foyer, to the large triple car garage, this home is welcoming, stylish and well suited to needs of a whoever has the pleasure of living here.
This lovely 2 storey, 2008 square foot, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home includes attractive maple kitchen cabinets, granite countertops and island, hardwood floors, 17 foot high ceilings in the formal diningroom/livingroom, piled foundation, I-joist floor system, and more. Off the master is an elegant ensuite with deep soaker Jacuzzi tub and custom tiled shower stall that provides a place and means to unwind. All this plus the buyer will receive a $5000. gift card.
The opportunity to have all this is yours. No bidding wars to worry about. Priced at $499,900. C'mon out and see me sometime - preferably Sunday afternoon between 1 and 4. If this, or any other home or property interests you, give me a call at 204-989-6900 or toll free at 1-866-989-6900.

 

Cape Coppermine - 6 Prince Rupert Close

Up at Cape Coppermine, near Lac Du Bonnet is a beautiful treed lot ready for the cottage you've dreamed about having....and if it is still a dream, you can take one giant step closer to making it a reality with this.
Or you can just use it as is, enjoying the golfing, hunting and fishing that the area has to offer. On site, in the back corner of the lot, is a guest house and shower building where you can come and breathe the fresh spruce-scented air.
The huge boulder, carefully placed here at the end of the last glaciation, is an added piece of natural work.
The best part? All this for only $77,500.
If you are interested in this, or any other property for recreation, investment or year round living, give me a call at 204-989-6900 or toll free - 1-866-989-6900.

Fraser's Grows On You

Home shown above not for sale....I just love it.

This morning I was in Fraser's Grove, one of Winnipeg's nicest "secrets". It is located between Henderson Highway and the Red River and wraps around Fraser's Grove Park. It's in MLS area 3C.
It is an established neighbourhood with an wide range of home values, vintage and design styles.

Reach for The Ground

Now, is it just me, or is there something not right with this picture. I think the real issue is that we gotta push for mandatory home inspections  - like they have in place in other jurisdictions. Unfortunately, in a sellers market like we have in Winnipeg, people are afraid that if they add a condition to the offer such as "subject to acceptable home inspection" they will lose out.
