15 Killington Bay, North Kildonan, Winnipeg.

Sun Valley, the neighbourhood, was established in the seventies when the North Kildonan area was expanding.  This home is tucked away in a quiet tranquil crescent.  Besides quality grade level schools and convenient amenities, Sun Valley is also close to Kilcona Park where you will find one of Winnipeg's premier multi-use greenspace.  At nearby Gateway Community Club allows families to engage in organized sport activities and area events.  These are just several reasons why the Sun Valley district is a desired location in North Kildonan.

15 Killington is a front drive accessed property that directs you into a one car garage.  There is no back lane  giving this locale privacy and a more secure lifestyle.  The earth tone wood siding facade exudes a warm welcoming feel when you arrive.  The driveway had been re-poured in 2010.  The fenced yard envelopes a larger than average maintenance free pressure treated deck filled with sun soaked morning light and afternoon brightness.  If privacy for you and your loved ones matter then you will not be disappointed with this intimate landscaped space.

When you enter through the sturdy steel insulated front entrance you are greeted with a spacious main floor living area where your feet touch the richness of the hard wood floors.  There is also a second entrance from the home and into your personal attached garage.  A main floor bathroom is ideal for the large family, or added convenience for those nights you wish to entertain your friends and family.  A functional and roomy kitchen flows into a formal dining room where all glass patio doors entice you to enjoy your deck and landscaped yard.

The second level you will find two over-sized bedrooms and a four piece bathroom that experienced a recent transformation in 2010.  In fact, this home had a professional makeover from bottom to top at a cost to the owners just shy of a hundred thousand dollars.  No corners were allowed to be cut here with the materials and workmanship.  A specification and detail sheet with the work completed and cost is available for the serious buyer upon request.

The basement living space is completely finished with a maximum use rec room, additional bedroom, and a third bathroom.  It is a rare find when a bathroom is found on each level of a home, but not at 15 Killington Bay, truly grand.  All appliances are included, and just like the extensive home improvements, all appliances were purchased in 2010.  Central-air, alarm system, garage door opener with remotes, dishwasher, beer fridge and all window coverings are included with the asking price.
