Heavenly Headingley

For some reason, certain neighbourhoods just seem to fly under the radar. One of those is Marston Meadows. Situated on the north side of Roblin Boulevard, less than a kilometre from PR 334, the community is neatly tucked away on a mature tract of land that runs mostly parallel to the Assiniboine River. Magnificent from start to finish, this bungalow sits in a private, stunning setting just minutes from the city. Most of the homes there are not only buffered from Roblin by Marston Drive, but sit on huge, mature lots that are surrounded by old trees, making for a calm, quiet atmosphere. That's a great feature, because once you arrive home you're in your own tranquil little world, the only sounds being birdsong, the wind whispering through the trees and the quiet murmur of the river as it meanders languidly by. Homes don't seem to come up for sale often in this secluded enclave, but one has just hit the market, says Tessa Hekle of Royal LePage Prime Real Estate. 'I've just listed a stunning bungalow that was built by Huntington Homes in 2004,' she says of the sprawling residence, which checks in at an impressive 1,925 sq. ft. 'Every detail of the home has been meticulously curated to deliver a truly premium living experience from start to finish.' That premium experience starts the moment you park your car. Because the home is set back at the end of a long driveway surrounded by trees, it feels like you're entering a private, well-tended park. When you step inside, the impeccably designed home opens in front of you in a seamless blend of livability and luxury.

'Soaring ceilings and an open- concept main living area surrounded by huge windows makes for a naturally bright area,' says Hekle. 'The windows do a wonderful job of highlighting the gorgeous river views from all areas.' And while the main living area is open-concept, each space is well defined and generously proportioned. 'It starts off with a very spacious formal dining area that's defined perfectly by an elegant crystal chandelier,' she notes. 'It's a space all its own, yet it opens beautifully onto the kitchen and great room, which makes it great for entertaining.' The great room is literally a picture-perfect space. An electric fireplace set in rustic stone works with rich oak hardwoods to create a warm, inviting ambience, while the picture window on the rear wall brings the outdoors inside in a big way. 'The view of the river and the backyard with its mature trees is just spectacular,' Hekle says. A spacious, chef-inspired kitchen finishes off the magnificent main living area. The open-concept main living area combines luxury and livability. 'It stuns with quartz countertops, tile backsplash, walk-in pantry, lovely cabinets, and a curved island with eating nook that seats three. It also offers high-end Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances.' Then there's the patio door off the dinette area, which connects to a magical space. 'The well-placed door allows you to step out into a screened-in, three- season sunroom where you can sit back and read a book without being bothered by insects. 'There's also an outdoor deck, as well as a hot tub to relax in. No matter where you are, you can look off onto the river and beautifully landscaped yard in total privacy.' The home's bedroom wing was also thoughtfully designed. The flawless kitchen features high-end appliances. 'It's tucked neatly off to the side, offering a full bath, spacious second bedroom, and of course, the primary bedroom,' Hekle says. 'It's a private, luxurious retreat that offers an amazing river view to wake up to, as well as a big walk-in closet and charming ensuite.' Finally, there's the home's lower level, which adds another 1,745 sq. ft., making over 3,600 sq. ft. of total living space. 'There's just so much space to enjoy,' she says of the downstairs. 'Built on a structural wood floor, it offers a media area, games space, two more bedrooms, a full bath and a wet bar or secondary kitchen.' Hekle says the masterfully designed bungalow offers exceptional value. The quietly spectacular great room offers a lovely river view and has a warm, inviting ambience. 'It's an incredible opportunity, representing affordable luxury in Headingly for a riverfront property that blends serene country living with city conveniences just minutes away.' lewys@
