Description
Welcome to 'Wynterlea' - a beautifully restored 1949 bungalow with a generous 1.5 story expansion, in the historic VLA neighbourhood. Positioned on a huge 88'x116' lot, on one of Grande Prairie's most notable streets, 106 Avenue, a sunken living room and sunroom, and then a 1.5 story East wing with 2 car attached garage, 2 more bedrooms with ensuites, sauna, library, and a stunning foyer with 10' and 20' ceilings, and glass conservatory was added to the original house and detached garage. Careful attention to detail and purposeful design give this home the character and charm you won't find in any other. The front landscape features towering heritage trees and forest type foliage, and leads to a private stone courtyard. Nods to the original home throughout include the crystal door knobs, the brick chimney between the dining and kitchen, original maple hardwood floor in front hall and dining room, the front storm windows, and the original front door on the detached garage/shed. Dining and sunken living space is expansive in this home, and the fully heated sunroom, countless windows, and glass conservatory bathe the home in natural light. The galley kitchen has everything at your fingertips - and if you love the home but wish for a larger kitchen - there are already plans drawn and space to expand! The primary suite has a separate water closet with bidet and vanity, and a bathroom with an air jet tub surrounded by glass block from the conservatory, a corner tile shower, and a large vanity. The sunken bedroom area has a sauna and a sitting area with windows looking out to the english garden. Convenient and spacious laundry room with sink, drying racks and storage, a powder room, and a studio/extra bedroom are also on the main floor. The second story offers a fantastic library and office space with windows looking out to the tree tops in the front and back of the home. There is also a bedroom with it's own desk and 3pc ensuite on the second floor. The basement has a 4th bedroom, full bathroom, a wine cellar, utility room with extra laundry hook ups, and plumbing for a kitchenette/nanny suite. The back yard can be accessed through the conservatory or sunroom and has a large wrap around deck, stone pathways and a lovely perennial English garden! The separate West side concrete driveway offers excellent RV parking. Both the house and garden have been written up in national magazines over the decades and have won several design awards. This property is truly one of a kind and must be seen.
