By Awais Manzoor

1 min read

Across Canada, this quintet of homes orients daily life around the water, from riverfront peninsulas to lake communities and marina-lined streets. Each property treats views, access, and club-adjacent culture as the starting point, pairing it with resort-style comforts such as boat slips, yacht club proximity, and lake-lifestyle amenities. Entertainer-friendly main floors, fireplaces, and indoor-outdoor gathering spaces recur throughout, alongside renovation and build stories that emphasize lasting quality. Flexible offices, dens, and guest-ready layouts round out the waterfront-minded practicality.

Along the water’s edge on Kingston Row in Winnipeg, this riverfront residence sits on a leafy peninsula surrounded by the Red River.

A four-season sunroom captures river views and opens to a hot tub and sauna for easy resets. Inside, the cozy living room is grounded by custom fir wood details and a new wood-burning fireplace, while a main-floor powder room, office with Murphy bed, and laundry keep daily life streamlined. Upstairs offers thoughtful sight lines, dual walk-in closet, a spa-like ensuite with steam shower, and two additional bedrooms, with more space below in the fully re-engineered lower level. Days here naturally drift toward paddling, dining outdoors, and stargazing.
