1867 Carriere Road, Grande Pointe, Manitoba

The neighbourhood

Everything within a short drive

A no-through street on 2.07 acres in Ritchot

Carriere Road carries no through traffic, so the only vehicles you hear are the ones that belong here. Grande Pointe sits at the edge of Winnipeg's boundary, which means you get the lot size and the quiet without adding distance to the commute.

12 MIN DRIVE

Pizza eight minutes out, a full Sage Creek run at nine

Diana's Cucina Pizza is twelve minutes when you want something worth the drive. Subway and Pizza Pizza are eight when you do not. The restaurants and coffee at Sage Creek are nine minutes, which covers most of what a weeknight needs.

The living room

Green walls, a wall of windows, one room

The green walls are not neutral and they are not trying to be. They commit, and the wall of windows backs them up with whatever the lot is doing outside. Light moves through this room all day without you doing anything about it.

It is the room where the family lands at the end of the day, and it is big enough to hold that without feeling like a compromise.

The bedrooms and library

A walk-in, a tiled shower, and a room for books

The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and an ensuite with a tiled shower. Those two things together mean the morning routine does not require a schedule or a lineup.

Up on the landing, under the skylights, there is a library. Call it a reading room, a homework corner, or a place to set up a game that stays out for a week. The skylights make it work in a way a basement room never could. The other two bedrooms are close enough for young kids and separate enough for older ones.
