It’s something we all imagine at one time or another — the financial ability to build our dream home, and the freedom to have it designed to our personal preferences.

Several thoughts come to mind when in such a contemplative (and highly creative) state.

The first thought usually involves the lot on which the home will be built. In this case, it needs to be large, private, and visually appealing — let’s say stunning.

Then there’s the home itself.

As you make your way down Kingston Crescent in Old St. Vital, you can’t help but think there’s more to the area than meets the eye.

The deeper you go, the more you feel set apart from the city.

Little wonder, as the towering elms and pines living on either side of the street create delightfully sun-dappled front lawns — and a tranquil atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re in cottage country.

An eclectic mix of fetching homes lining either side of the quiet street also adds to the area’s mystique.

As riverside enclaves go, St. Vital’s River Road tends to fly under the radar.

That’s a shame, as the lots on the west side of the street feature a characteristic many other river lots don’t possess — a density of mature trees that shrouds the properties, giving them an air of seclusion, and to a certain extent, mystery.

Jennifer Queen says you don’t know quite what to expect when you turn into the winding, tree-lined driveway at 56 River Rd.

“The long, winding driveway creates a beautiful sense of arrival and anticipation for what waits at the end of it,” she says. “When you finally get to the home, you feel like you’ve arrived at an estate. The home looks magnificent, with its beautiful brick exterior and turned, triple-car garage.”

An updated Wolseley classic

For unknown reasons, many older homes — in addition to being dated — were never fully developed or updated by their previous owners.

That was the scenario when a renovator went in to update a dishevelled two-and-a-half storey home in Wolseley in February 2026, says Darryl Walsh of Royal LePage Prime Real Estate.

“This was ... badly in need of updating,” he says of the 1,612 sq. ft. residence, which was built in 1910. “Not only that, but the top floor had never been fully developed.”

Today, the home’s top floor is now fully functional — and then some.

Not so, says Scott Moore of Century 21 Bachman & Associates.

Every home has a story, almost without exception.

That’s certainly the case with a sprawling bungalow situated amid a huge, beautifully treed lot in North Kildonan, says Glen MacAngus of Royal LePage Top Producers.

“When this home was built in 1957, it was a pretty good size,” he says of the home, which sports an impressively wide footprint. “Today, it checks in at 3,390 sq. ft. due to a pair of remodels. The first was in the early 2000s, while the second was in 2018.”

Suffice it to say, the well-maintained home is anything but a throwback to its late-’50s origins.

It’s a simple fact of home design: some homes age well, while others don’t.

Then there are those homes that age exceptionally well, owing to forward-thinking designs that defy the unrelenting march of time.

One of those homes is 1 Dunbar Cres., a modern-themed two-storey residence that was built on an expansive 79-foot by 150-foot lot in 1988, the same year Canada hosted the Olympic Winter Games in Calgary (yes, that was 38 years ago).

While the home is nearly four decades old, its design has stood the test of time, says Natasha Kouk of Royal LePage Dynamic Real Estate.

Imagine having built your dream cottage and then — just when you’re on the cusp of being able to enjoy it — having no choice but to sell.

That’s what happened to the owners of Block 9, Lot 4 in Falcon Lake, says Thor Sigmar of Whiteshell Cottages.

“An unforeseen set of circumstances happened where one of the owners isn’t able to make full use of the cottage,” he explains. “It’s unfortunate, but I guess life happens.”

As the old saying goes, one person’s misfortune is another’s good fortune — in this case because someone is going to benefit from the fact that the 3,200-square-foot, two-storey cottage was built to the highest standards, with no expense spared in any area of its design and construction.

If there’s one thing about early 20th-century home design that stands out, it’s that they aren’t always big on livability.

Whether it’s the fact that people didn’t entertain as much then or weren’t at home as often, many homes from that era suffer from poor flow-through, a lack of storage space and rooms that are small and spartan.

In short, they can show a maddening indifference to comfort and occasional — and very welcome — touches of luxury.

Eric Neumann of Real Broker says his listing at 531 Craig St. in Wolseley isn’t one of those.

Meticulous is a word that tends to be overused in real estate, yet it describes 214 Ash Street to a T.

“The attention to detail shown in the updating of this home is nothing short of magnificent,” says David De Leeuw of Royal LePage Prime Real Estate. “When the owners — they’re only the third family who’ve owned this home in the last 99 years — set about bringing the home up to modern standards, their goal was to create a modern classic. I think they’ve achieved that and more.”

He says their commitment to retaining original features while infusing the home with modern design details starts just outside the front door.

“The redone front walkway is simply magnificent. It wraps beautifully around the front steps and was carried through to the left of the home all the way down to the backyard,” De Leeuw says. “And the brick on either side of the new Tyndall stone steps was matched to the original brick on the front of the home.”

It’s a special quality that not every home possesses — a certain vibrancy that naturally draws your eye.

The 1,529-sq.-ft. bungalow at 364 Lockwood St. in River Heights north is definitely one of those homes.

“The outgoing owners have an exceptional eye for detail, and it starts with the front of the home,” says Cory Kehler of RE/MAX Executives Realty. “The landscaping is gorgeous, and the front of the home, with its Hardie board exterior, has a sharp, fresh look to it that catches your attention.”

In this instance, the interplay of design elements around the front of the house — landscaping that incorporates flowers, shrubs and plants as well as low-maintenance gravel and planters — complements the grey, taupe and black exterior. Newer, white-trimmed windows pop on the paint colours, a sign that this is no ordinary residence.

When most people think of their ideal lifestyle, they usually visualize living just far enough outside the city to enjoy country comfort, but not so far out that convenience is compromised.

However, some folks think a little differently.

To them, living downtown is an attractive thought — to be able to walk to work and have shops, restaurants and other amenities just minutes from their doorstep.

Unfortunately, the thought of living downtown is just that: a fancy that passes after they think of living in an area that can be stark (think too much concrete and dirty sidewalks), devoid of nature, and where it can be a pain to find parking, even if you find a home you love.

One of the most desirable qualities in a neighbourhood, aside from convenient location, is that it offers a palpable feeling of peace.

Yet, many desirable neighbourhoods within Winnipeg — River Heights, River Park South and Linden Woods, to name just a few — really aren’t that peaceful. That’s because they see significant traffic, which creates a sense of busyness that can be disconcerting. While you will get used to it eventually, it’s something you would gladly live without.

There are select few neighbourhoods around the city that are true enclaves, areas in which street traffic is mostly local and moves at a leisurely place.

Riverview is one of those neighbourhoods.
