110 Ralph Avenue East located in East Transcona

We are excited to tell you about this great family home located in the heart of a wonderful community called “Transcona”,  practically next door to Roland Michener arena/Transcona stadium and close to all levels of school, shopping and transportation.




Transcona is a suburb of Winnipeg, Manitoba located about 10 kilometres (6 miles) east of the downtown area. Until 1972 it was a separate municipality, having been incorporated first as the Town of Transcona in 1912 and then as the City of Transcona in 1961. Today it is represented by the Transcona city ward, represented by a member of Winnipeg City Council, and, with much larger boundaries including large areas that were part of the Municipality of North Kildonan, much of the area west of Plessis, the Transcona neighbourhood cluster. It is primarily a working class residential suburb with some light industry.

 

 

 

 

 

When you drive up to this home you will be amazed by its sheer size and unique appearance.  This 2 Storey, custom built home has to offer you 1848 square feet of living space, 4 bedrooms, 1 full and 2 half bathrooms.

After walking past the beautifully landscaped front yard and opening the front door you will be greeted by a large entrance way with new flooring and an ample sized closet.  Immediately to the left you will see a large living room with newer windows & neutral paint colours that complement the brand new modern laminate flooring.   Open to the living room you will find a large family eating area / dining room and a BRAND NEW sleek kitchen that will make cooking for your family an absolute pleasure!  Not only does it feature brand new dark stained cabinets with modern pulls, it has a new counter top, sink & faucet. Finishing off the kitchen is a gorgeous back splash that compliments the space nicely and is easy to maintain.  Has it been mentioned that the Stainless Steel fridge, stove & Dishwasher are included with the sale of this home?  Also located on this floor is a 2 pce washroom, mud room and extra storage.  The mud room leads to the attached double garage (20x22) with even more storage!  Want to take your morning coffee or early evening wine outside?  Step right off your new kitchen to a great private cozy deck. 

Located in the living room you will find a beautiful loft style spiral staircase that leads to the second floor.  As you make your way up this staircase please notice the high ceilings and very large window that allows in a flood of light!  At the top of the stairs you will immediately be welcomed by an open family room / den.  The large master bedroom is located at the front of the upper level with brand new flooring, newer paint & windows.  A very welcoming space indeed and it’s complimented with a 2 piece ensuite and a good sized walk in closet.  The very wide hallway will lead you down to 3 more bedrooms that are all generous in size and a very large bathroom that has double sinks with plenty of storage.  Also conveniently located on this floor you have your laundry room (washer and dryer included) with an additional storage room located directly beside it. This floor has also had new flooring professionally installed with a lick of new paint added to some of the spaces.  You might wonder what the tall steal bar is that is located at the top of the stairs.  Thinking outside the box, this smart home owner installed it to make it easy to hoist furniture or appliances up to the second floor.  Ingenious!

With its square posture and unique interior this truly is a one of a kind home that has been lovingly lived in for the past 21 years by a wonderful family, a feisty dog and a happy cat.

Getting Your Home Ready for Winter

I woke up this morning to find frost on the windshield of my vehicle and temperature of minus two degrees… that means only one thing, winter is coming.  Can’t complain because winter comes every year.  The key thing is making sure our homes are ready for the worst Mother Nature throws at us!!

So how and what do you do? Hire a handyman? Send Mike Holmes an email? Talk to Tony? All the above? Lol...

The first thing to do is make a list of what needs to be done.  The list can start off with little easy things like turning the water off to the outside tap and draining it. Caulking any gaps around windows and doors on the exterior of the home along with baseboards at floor level, this alone will probably eliminate drafts. Check the weather stripping around exterior doors and windows that open. If you have older windows don’t worry about it, they sell plastic film that goes over the windows and with a hairdryer you can get the wrinkles out of the plastic. I have clients that do this every year and they tell me they save quite a bit of money on heating bills during the cold months. You can get this at any of the hardware stores. While you are there, look at picking up foam gaskets for plugs and light switches on exterior walls, again good return on the initial investment. Once you install them you don’t need to do it again unlike the window film! Just be careful when doing this there is live current going through those outlets!!!

 

The other spots where you can save a little in heating costs would be to add insulation to your home.  The attic is a good place to start; today the code is a minimum of an R-50. So unless you have just built a home you more than likely don’t have anywhere close to that (check with Manitoba Hydro first to see if they are offering any rebates or credits for the insulation). Regardless if you qualify or not, the savings will be there. Renting a blower to blow in the insulation is marginal. The bags of insulation aren’t too expensive either.

 

If your basement is unfinished insulation is a snap. The million dollar question is how hard core did you want to be in insulating your basement. Do you want to spray foam the walls which is very expensive, or use 2 inch rigid foam on the walls? After you do either one of those, stud the basement on 16 or 24 inches on centre and use friction fit insulation then you will have a very warm basement. This will be a little less money than the spray foam. Remember you will be still studding the basement to cover it with drywall in both cases (you can’t leave foam exposed it is a fire hazard). The least expensive way is plain old friction fit insulation itself using 2x4 studs pull the wall back 2 inches from the foundation wall and use insulation designed for 2x6 walls this will give you a good R value. You could use insulation designed for 2x4 walls which is perfectly fine, if you wanted, but the R value will be less.

 

The last thing you should consider is checking the furnace. Get it tuned up on regular basis and change the filter regularly for optimum performance.

 

This should help you save a little money this winter!
