River Heights bungalow blends character and modern comforts

Todd Lewys 5 minute read 2:01 AM EST

If you look at homes built in the late-1940s and early ’50s, they share one common characteristic.

That characteristic is the fact their layouts were either good or bad. There was no in-between, making for a home that was either livable, or a somewhat of a pain to reside in.

Jeff Brown of Sutton Group-Kilkenny Real Estate says his new listing at 227 Academy Rd. is of the eminently livable sort.

“This is a fantastic home,” he says. “That isn’t something you can say about every home of this vintage. For starters, its square footage is excellent at just over 1,200 sq. ft. That makes for good-sized spaces throughout.”

Laid-back in La Salle

Todd Lewys 6 minute read Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026

As convenient as living in the city is, it comes with its challenges.

The pace of life can be hectic, there are constant traffic snarls to deal with and when you get home, noisy (or at the very least inconsiderate) neighbours can make it difficult to find a decent measure of peace.

Consequently, it’s understandable families find themselves longing for a dwelling that provides an air of tranquility and solitude when they come home at the end of the day.

David Phillips of Century 21 Carrie Realty says he just listed a like-new cab-over in La Salle that meets those requisites and more. (The cab-over design features the master suite placed above the garage, several steps up from the main floor.)

On occasion, a home will almost jump out at you as you walk or drive down a street. One of these dwellings is 90 Taylor Farm Rd.

As you meander past, you can’t help but notice the interplay of colour and texture on its exterior, and just how well-kept the home looks. It’s subtle vibrance makes it stand out.

Natasha Kouk of Royal LePage Dynamic Real Estate says there’s a reason the 1,716-sq.-ft. bungalow possesses such curb appeal.

“This is a former lottery home custom-designed by Gino’s Homes,” she says. “It was beautifully designed outside and inside. And the owners have meticulously maintained this four-year-old home. It’s in wonderful condition throughout.”

Unexpected gem beckons novice homebuyers, young families

This past spring and summer were a frustrating time for first-time homebuyers.

With a lack of inventory, intense bidding wars — especially in sought-after neighbourhoods — broke out with some homes garnering 20 or more offers.

Consequently, many housing-market newbies found themselves left out in the cold on more than one property.

However, that was then, and this is now.

If there’s two things buyers looking for a 1,500 square-foot-plus bungalow know, it’s that there aren’t a ton on the market — and they don’t come cheap.

And if the wish list for such a bungalow includes an attached three-car garage, such a house becomes even harder to find.

Viktoria Fazekas of RE/MAX Executives Realty has a sprawling bungalow in her portfolio in Oak Bluff West that impresses on every level, starting with its price tag.

“This home is very well-priced at $724,900,” she says of the 1,652 sq. ft. residence, which was built in 2014 and is situated on a huge 80-foot by 140-foot lot.

If there’s one thing people crave in a home, it’s privacy.

Yet when you live in the city, privacy can be hard to come by, whether you live in an older or newer neighbourhood.

For better or worse, there always seems to be at least one neighbour that causes a disturbance, whether it be coming and going with a loud motorcycle, cranking up pounding music or incessantly tinkering with power tools.

Consequently, many families dream of living on a generous plot of land in a quiet place where disturbances will be few and far between. In other words, their dream is to live in a countrified area outside the city. As idyllic as the concept sounds, it also brings its own set of challenges.

Back in 1999, a young couple had a vision.

They wanted a safe, beautiful place where they could raise a family, and they searched long and hard to find a suitable place to put down roots.

Eventually, they found a 6.12-acre plot of land in St. Anne, Man.

It had pretty much all the attributes they were looking for — it was peaceful and private, yet only 20 minutes from Winnipeg and a short commute to other centres, like Steinbach.

No matter what area of the city you live in, there always seems to be a house here and there that would benefit greatly from a makeover.

It wasn’t long ago that the sprawling bungalow at 8436 Roblin Blvd. was one of those homes, says Blair Sonnichsen of Royal LePage Dynamic Real Estate.

“This home was built in 1978,” he says of the 1,770 sq. ft, residence, “but it was very dated and was eventually acquired by Rempel Builders from Winnipeg. They essentially, over the past year or so, (redid) virtually everything, from the exterior to insulation, front and back decks, flooring and more. The home was essentially reimagined and brought up to contemporary standards.”

All the work that was put into the house really shows.

When you drive or walk down a street, there always seems to be one home that stands out from the rest.

That’s the case with 409 4th Street W. in Stonewall.

As you meander by, you can’t help but admire how its original, white-trimmed screen door is set off perfectly by a curved overhang and adorable double dormer window above.

And while it looks like the attractive one-and-a-half storey has been situated on the oversized, well-treed lot forever, that isn’t exactly the case, says Cindy Barnes of Lifestyles Real Estate.

While the term “rare” is probably used much too liberally by realtors, sometimes it does describe a home accurately.

In this case, the term describes 100 Waterloo St. in not one, but two ways, says Val Miller of Royal LePage Dynamic Real Estate.

“First, the home features a lot size that’s quite rare for River Heights,” she says of the majestic house, which was built in 1926. “It’s larger than normal at 100 feet wide by 120 feet deep. But then, it had to be wider than normal to accommodate the home, which is 3,381 sq. ft.”

The property, like the home, is magnificent.

Incredibly two-storey in Tuxedo is in a class of its own

Todd Lewys 6 minute read Saturday, Sep. 5, 2026

Back in 2022, an aging home on a huge, mature lot in Tuxedo was demolished to make way for a new ultra luxury home.

The lot, at a little less than half an acre in size, provided plenty of leeway for the design of the house.

And because the house was to be the forever home for the family that was to occupy it, much thought went into its design.

“It actually took a bit more than three years to design and build the home,” says Brett Castelane of Century 21 Bachman & Associates, who’s co-marketing the home with his father, Cole. “The owners didn’t want to build a showy home. They wanted to build one that fit in with the surroundings, was well-built and beautiful inside, yet net not overpowering.”

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.

Riverside gem found in River Road enclave

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.”

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.

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.
