Forward-thinking design makes for one-of-a-kind home

Todd Lewys 5 minute read Saturday, Jul. 18, 2026

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.

Welcome home to Wolseley

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.”

Todd Lewys 5 minute read Saturday, Jun. 20, 2026

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.

In this instance, a variety of details combine to create its distinctive look — a fetching front porch, swooping roofline and white trimmed windows (some square, some with rounded tops) which pop perceptibly on a sharp, medium grey exterior.

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.

When a condominium is 35 years old, it can be hit or miss whether it’s contemporary in style or a throwback to the era in which it was designed.

Charlene Urbanski of Lifestyles Real Estate says she just listed an apartment-style suite in a tidy building at 805 St. Anne’s Rd. that simply sparkles.

“I’ll be honest — many units in buildings this old tend to be dated,” she says. “But not this one. It’s been remodelled from top to bottom.”

In the process — the 1,180-sq.-ft., two-bedroom suite was completely renovated in 2022 — it was taken from drab to dynamic, says Urbanski.

It’s something everyone craves — a home to fill you with an absolute sense of peace when you step inside after a long day.

Unfortunately, it’s a pipe dream for many. No matter where you live, there always seems to be something to shatter the silence, whether a loud truck rumbling down an adjacent street, a dog barking or an ambulance answering a call in the middle of the night.

Those things can naturally prompt a longing to live somewhere off the beaten path to avoid unwelcome disturbances.

Jeff Brown of Sutton Group-Kilkenny Real Estate says you don’t necessarily have to move out into the middle of an isolated forest when you can find a home like the one he just listed on a quiet street in Stonewall.

Those neighbourhoods include (in no particular order) the Bridgwater, Sage Creek and Ridgewood West — among others.

Then, there are some neighbourhoods that — for some reason — fly under the radar. One of those neighbourhoods is Van Hull Estates, located just west of another popular area, River Park South in South St. Vital.

Not only that, but the home delivered to you will be custom-tailored to your needs and tastes.
