Welcome to 39 Eastgate in Armstrong Point of Winnipeg, Canada. Originally known as Pulford House, this is a building of historic significance, completed in 1907. This Richardsonian and Romanesque home was designed by architect Paul Clemens. It has seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, a four car garage and views of the river that are remarkable.
For 115 years. This impressive home has stood as a proud reminder of a time when Winnipeg was not only the center of Canada, but also the center of commerce and opportunity on the prairies. The Frank Lloyd Wright fireplace that greets you as you enter sets the tone of warmth and character, which makes homes of this era so highly prized.
The parlor with its curved front windows, is bathed in warm, natural light, even on the bitterest midwinter afternoon. A perfect place to gather for an aperitif before heading into the formal dining room. And whether it's a Saturday night soiree for 50 guests or a simple Sunday roast, this kitchen with chef-size fridge and freezer, double ovens, and acres of counters and cabinets will make the meal prep a breeze!
The riverside wing houses the library or study that flows out through the patio in summer, and has a beautifully refinished gas fireplace to curl up to with a good book while the snow is still on the ground. The second level, accessible by elevator or by the grand staircase, is where you'll find your opportunity to make this home truly your own.
With six potential bedrooms here and three full bathrooms, there's room for a more private office for games and entertainment space. More than that, there's room for the family to grow into over time. The curved window woodwork and the hand-blown glass in the turret make this primary suite singularly attractive, and the steam shower in the en suite makes for a relaxing end to any stressful day.
The third floor was originally designed as the housekeeping staff quarters and has undergone a major facelift in recent years to be the one of a kind space you see today. Whether you'd like to make this entire floor your primary bedroom retreat, or a space to afford any overnight guests or visiting relatives perfect privacy. Or perhaps you're the artist in residence looking for inspiration from the treetop canopy and river views. The penthouse offers endless opportunities.
Take the elevator to the lower level and you'll find the perfect winter entertaining space. Whether that means pool and single malt, or if you see this more as a place for the movie theater and popcorn. But when the sun is shining and the snow is a distant memory. Dining alfresco on the patio and soaking up some Manitoba sunshine might be just what the doctor ordered.
A home of this grandeur must be experienced in person. If you are looking to own your very own piece of Canada, I'd love to hear from you. I know you will fall in love with this home as much as I have.
